Get the Picture

The vision: An action interview with Lisa Rainsberger. She is the last American to win the Boston Marathon and 25 years later she is going back to run the course to mark the anniversary.
Creative vision often turns into extra effort for those who step up to make that vision happen. In this case it was physical effort for photojournalist Gene Cotton. A lot of comments were made on how good the moving interview looked. This still shot shows the intensity of the person shooting the interview.
For most of the interview Gene shot from the back of an SUV rolling at a runners pace. Then he opted to hop out, often running backwards to get the shots he wanted. Perhaps this picture offers a glimpse at how a pro makes great TV.
