I have documented races in a variety of ways over the years. I love photography so I almost always have a camera with me regardless of how I find myself at a race. There is also a variety of tools available for photographing races. Sometimes I find myself at a race because it is an interesting community event or I have friends running the race. Or maybe I am on vacation and… Read More
Trail running is a lot of things. It is something different for everyone. The longer we go the crazier we may seem. Maybe we are all a little crazy. And maybe that is why we can still find some fun in these crazy events.
Hills Creek Endurance Challenge 12 hour finish. I enjoy creating race photography. Seeing people out there on the course. People putting in the effort. I love that. I don’t often do finish line photos. As in I don’t just sit at the finish line and photograph every runner as they cross the finish line. It is just not my style and often doesn’t capture the whole experience of a race the way… Read More
When I first started running I didn’t know much about running or races. I still wouldn’t say that I know a lot. But what I have learned is that I run a lot on the roads but my heart lies on the trails. To me road racing is all the same. A 5k is a 5k is a 5k and same thing for 10ks, but you see far less of those. Things… Read More
I don’t photograph people very often. As in in most of my photography people are not often the main subject of my photography. Except…. Except in a situation where the type of photography I am engaging in directly ties in to another one of my passions. I love running. And as the years of running went by and I became more engaged with the running community I had opportunities to photograph races…. Read More
I love trail running. I run mostly trail races. But most of my running miles are logged on roads. Roads are just more convenient and make sure I am at least getting some miles. Last year I logged fewer miles in general and probably a lot l fewer than years past miles on trails. I was battling injuries most of the year so my running had to be really conservative. Trying to… Read More
I love to run. If I have my choice I choose to run trails. Often I take a camera with me. There are things I can see out on a trail adventure that I may not see any other time. I may explore in ways on a run that I don’t other times. Longer, farther on the trail. Not where I would normally think to go with my camera. A couple years… Read More
In continuation of what has been a very different running year for me, compared to the last several years, I headed to Wellsboro to run the Green Monster Trail Challenge. This year I planned a running season that focused mostly on shorter races so I could try to feel what it would be like to run faster with more effort put into each mile. My norm for the last several years has… Read More
My plan for my racing season is coming to the close. The final race in the Finger Lakes Running club’s Trail Circuit is Danby Down and Dirty. And Danby down and dirty was the final race on my schedule that I knew I was going to run this year. Danby Down and Dirty Danby Down and Dirty offers two race distances. This year the race features a 23k distance for the long… Read More
Last year I attempted the Mighty Mosquito solo 100 mile race. I was fortunate enough to be crewed and paced by a great group of people. This year I am back at the same venue. And I am here seeing many of the same great faces. However there is one big important difference. As much as to me running a 100 mile race is a team accomplishment where only 1 person gets… Read More
