Monday’s are always very busy for me at work. Even so, I was able to find 90 minutes shortly after lunch, between meetings and the rain, to take in a bit of the Boston Marathon. The four mile round trip walk took 80 minutes leaving me only 10 minutes to shoot. While spectating from a bridge over Commonwealth Avenue, I was standing next to a man with one child on his shoulders and another by his side. He was checking on a phone app telling his young kids that mommy was getting close. When she appeared they began yelling and she spotted them. I captured a nice sequence and gave the dad my contact info and told him I would send the photos. This evening I made good on that promise and was happy to provide this family from Asheville, NC a happy souvenir from their visit to Boston.
