This was the first year for me to see the NYC Marathon in person and I knew I wanted to document it in some way in addition to the candids from the previous post… so I decided to ask runners who had just finished if I could take their portrait, just as they were.  Everyone I encountered was so proud of their accomplishment (rightly so) and also so humbled that I would want to photograph them that I was never met with a “no”.  This is what the back end of 26.2 miles looks like.
