I have never shot track

… so last weekend  I was assigned to shoot the state championship track meet in Provo. But just as I was heading down I got a call from my editor telling me I had more pressing news to cover in Utah County so I would basically only have an hour to cover the meet. I lucked out something half interesting happened right in front of me when I got there. The rest of the shoot was OK by the most optimistic of standards. Well, not really, but I got one good frame …   Thanks for looking.

One thought on “I have never shot track

  1. Amazing pic. The best part was when I talked to you Saturday afternoon and you told me how you didn’t get anything good at track. Then I see this in the paper the next day.
