Extra Pictures, originally uploaded by Nashua Telegraph.

Many people don't realize how expensive newspaper property is. This is
largely the reason why not all of our pictures go into the paper. We as
photographers also love getting our pictures in contests and stuff, not just
to boost the name of the paper but also our egos a little bit. In order to
get said pictures into a contest though they need to have been published at
some time or another. Lucky for us, the photo blog exists. Yesterday I shot
this picture at a track meet in Concord. The subject in the picture
unfortunately goes to a school that wasn't in our coverage area. I'll be the
first to admit that I have what might call a problem, I can't pass up a good
picture, when I see it I shoot first and ask questions later as they say.
This happens to be one of those casually shot images.

Lucky for me and the contest judges, I didn't neglect to get his name before
I walked away.

Thanks for looking!
