There are very few images in this world that manage to capture beauty in its truest form. The face of an athlete after winning a world championship, the fall of the Berlin wall, and those famous first footsteps on the moon’s surface; all examples of images that will forever live on in history. This last weekend I had the pleasure to take part in a relay race that started in Logan and ended in Park City. 180 miles of grueling mountain climbs and steep descents. As team we completed the course in 29 hours. One picture can describe this glorious accomplishment. Behold, “Man Running” by: Michael Barnett.
How one lens can capture such strength and dignity baffles me. The raw power of the young man is mind blowing. The strength of 1000 horses with the delicate beauty of a butterfly. I am happy that this magical moment could be captured and frozen for all generations to benefit. Here are some more images for your enjoyment. YOU ARE WELCOME!
p.s. The cars in the above picture are moving at a rate of approximately 50 MPH. How he managed to keep up with them is a mystery still to this day

Oh geeez, look at you fly!
I shall call you white thunder for your accomplishment, but because you punched me I must recant that blessed title. You have ashamed me grasshopper.
