[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
At the Berkeley Invitational Track Meet there were two types of pictures I wanted to get. The first were pictures showing the movement and action of the events and the second were pictures of these incredible athletes. In the series of shots I will hopefully give you a good idea of both.

In the portrait type shots to me it seems that one of the keys in representing the subject comes from the cropping of the picture. If the subject is looking to one side there needs to be room on that side. If the subject is moving in a direction there needs to be space to move towards.

Roger Hi:

Wonderful image. The human body can be a well tuned machine as we can see. Having run 3 marathons it is amazing what the body can withstand when trained properly. You have captured it well. Well done.
