Dave McGillivray has been the race director for the Boston Marathon since 1988 (when I was in elementary school). My assignment was to follow this incredibly energetic guy around all day on the day of the Boston Marathon including after the official race when he runs his own Marathon with a few friends. It was a long 15 hours of shooting (with one 15 min break when Dave took a shower). In the end it was a great experience, with my 4 badges and endless multicolored access stickers I was able to see the marathon from nearly every point of view and get a huge appreciation for the amount of planning and coordination that goes into an event with such a large footprint and close to 30,000 runners and over half a million spectators. The full piece is in the May 2012 issue of Runner’s World with a great story by Steve Rushin.

I recently photographed former model and now Boston University Professor of Sociology in Brooklyn. The article which ran in the Boston Globe Magazine reviews her recent book “Pricing Beauty” in which she went undercover as both a top runway model and a PHd candidate in Sociology to examine the fashion industry from the perspective of labor and sociology. She had some really interesting observations of the industry. She describes the modeling industry as a winner take all structure. A glut of laborers, many from overseas, who are willing to work for low pay in hope of the possible glory and fame down the road. She also gave interesting accounts of her trips to Eastern Europe to see the recruiting process there. With the complete objectification of models everyone in our culture it is refreshing to hear about them from the perspective of their wages, career, and future job prospects after they age out at 26. The online article is here. The book is here on Amazon.

My time-elapse photo of the Boston Marathon and the technique I used to capture it are featured in the February 2012 issue of Popular Photography magazine.
