Photographer's Note
Amsterdam marathon 2010.
ieri si e' svolta la 35a edizione della maratona di Amsterdam, alla quale hanno partecipato 10.241 persone.
il tempo era splendido e c'era una bella atmosfera lungo il percorso, con gli spettatori che incitavano i podisti con applausi e musica.
su molte magliette si leggeva "what does it take?", riferito sicuramente alla maratona - cosa ci vuole per partecipare ad una corsa del genere, per arrivare al traguardo, per vincere la sfida con se stessi?
sicuramente un fisico allenato, ma anche concentrazione, una forma mentale decisa - e, non da ultimo, senso dell'umorismo.
Amsterdam marathon 2010.
yesterday Amsterdam welcomed the 10.241 runners of the 35th Amsterdam marathon. it was a cold but very sunny day, which improved even more the mood among the runners and the audience. lots of people greeted the runners along the course, cheering and playing music.
many runners sported a t-shirt saying "what does it take?", surely referring to the marathon.
what does it take to run such a marathon, to finish the run, to win the challenge with yourself?
well, not only a trained body but also a strong mind, concentration, endurance - and last but not least, sense of humour.

Hi Cristina
interesting choice to shoot this in black and white, as the colours of their outfits were probably colourful, but i like the result.
the smile is genuine, and catching. funny how all the other people seem to be looking to their right...whats going on over there!
nice work
cheers

Hi Cris
the marathon woman is pleased to be there and taken in picture by you! I think you are at the beginning, because at the end, the smiles are less seen.
Good idea of fun and partaged pleasure.
Cheers

Molto luminosa e ricca di vità. La pupa in primo piano è felicissima. Sole nordico e freddino.
Bella foto

Just for a moment, I thought you were in Istanbul for Eurasia marathon... Yeah, in a marathon but not in Istanbul.
I haven't checked my Istanbul marathon photos yet, but hopefully will check them soon.
Once again, with a deep note you presented a quite daily scene in such a nice bw photo.
Congrats Cris,
Burcu
