Houston seems to have a 'run' almost every weekend. I always intend to go photograph but never do. The club photographed the Houston Marathon two or three weeks ago. I was still trying to get over the flu, it was cold and rain was forecast so I had breakfast and then went home. They posted some very nice photographs so I was inspired to give it a try. The big difference between the marathon and Color in Motion is that during Color, the runners are doused with a brightly colored powder. And as I discovered after the run there is a lot left over that everyone throws at each other.
I took several hundred photos and have process only a small portion so there may be additional postings.
We did a few photographs around the staging area and then headed over to the first of the colored powder stations. I have not finished processing the photos from that area yet. I did grab a couple taken after the finish of the run just to see how they looked. It's always fun when adults get to act like the kids.
