These photos were not taken with special access, they were taken from the perspective of the average ticket-paying fan and spectator. Because this was such a historical event and I am a huge fan of Track & Field, I thought it was absolutely necessary that I take my camera to the event. From many vantage points in the newly renovated stadium and using my 24-70mm 2.8 lens, I was able to document some one of a kind perspectives from some incredible moments.

I snapped these photos with the intention of editing them in black and white, wanting to accentuate the unique shadows that were cast throughout the evening and also play with the stark white lines and curves of the track.
