White Pine Stampede

This is the White Pine Stampede, a cross country ski race that has taken place around the same time each year for the past 34 years. Not a bad run. I shot it once in 2006 when I interned at the Traverse City Record-Eagle. What made it fun shooting photos this year though was that I shot it for myself. There's a lot to be said for taking pictures when a deadline isn't looming.
