Veronica--what IS that first shot? It looks like meteors landing, or the dawn of the Earth, or something else fairly dangerous! It's also spectacularly beautiful. Thanks for sharing it with us.

I bought a bunch of pictures of me after the marathon. I do not have the FOGGIEST idea why I thought I'd need all those copies. I think I was still suffering from post-race stupidity syndrome. But if anyone would like a 5x7 glossy of me in the Chicago Marathon, I will gladly send you one!

I did order two 4x6 prints of the cool action shot of me on my bike from the most recent tri. One for me, one for Mom.

I agree that they're crazy expensive. But given that I tried to take a picture of my cats lying on the rug and it came out as a grey and orange blur...I can see why they charge what they can for the product. I could beg my friends to stand around and take pix of me, and they have in the past. But those high quality action shots are rare, in my experience. So, I buy a picture or two. Or, in the case of the marathon...10?
