Pepperdine University

A lot of my photos come from the sport I coach, cross country. One of the things I just love about the sport is that it is so natural. The races are held almost anywhere, and the swirling pack of runners, undulating around bends and the curves of earth, make for some awesome photos... Oh, to have the time to sit and actually compose a shot of action, sadly I'm trying to be both photographer and coach at the same time. Occassionally I'm a good coach, occassionally, I get a good shot.

This was taken in 2007 at Pepperdine University, just about an hour after a big rainstorm muddied the course and beautified the skies.
