Video: Pain, Agony, Victory


Video Produced by Tom Atwood
Photographs by Andy Thomas

This video is a series of photographs of EHS cross-country runners, including Journey members Devon Dudding, Riley Atwood, and Ellen Atwood. The photos were taken by Andy Thomas at meets this fall. As I looked through hundreds of Andy's photos I was struck by the pain in many of his pictures. The agony is evident on the faces of cross-country runners, especially as they near the end of a race, battling for position, or at least for a faster time. Pain is definitely part of Andy's photographs. Pain is sometimes part of life. It is also part of running, and in cross country, often a part of training, and of victory.
