Boston Marathon 2009 from Natick, Massachusetts

Today was the 2nd time I shot the Boston Marathon from Natick, Massachusetts. The marathon experience in Natick is really exciting, emotional, and quite frankly, an life changing event. This year I woke up at 7am, packed my gear in my Smart Car, drove to Natick center, and started out my day with some Dunks! I walked around Natick center shooting images of the setup of the water stations, spectator lines, and support personnel. The first racers blazed through Natick shortly before 10am. The wheel chairs were first which to me is a one of the best highlights of the day. To even race in a wheel chair is a feat in itself. It only proves that people can overcome many things and succeed. The elite woman’s racers were next followed by the elite men’s racers. Both of these gr0ups are harder to shoot due to the enormous support vehicles surrounding them but, I managed to capture some images that I enjoy. The rest of the runners followed. I captured the Hoyt’s as they came through town and a few runners that had partial leg prosthetic. Amazing and inspiring! Here’s a few of the images that I processed so far and I’ll be posting more throughout the week. I’ll finish off with a gallery of all the images as I did last year. Enjoy and thanks for stopping by!

These pictures are great!

Jeff Newcum - April 21, 2009 - 8:14 am

Thanks Jessica! I’ve got about 40 more that I’ll add this week. The marathon is such a awesome experience.

Domenic Izzi - April 21, 2009 - 12:56 pm

Jeff.. as always, your work continues to inspire.. whether its the imagery itself or what is captured.. You Rock!

Jeff Newcum - April 21, 2009 - 1:05 pm

Thanks Domenic! I never went to the marathon until last year. Seeing it on TV just doesn’t do it any justice. The live event is a completely different scene. Maybe one year it would be cool to follow the elite runners sitting backwards on a motorcycle but, the crowd at Natick center is electric. You really can FEEL the energy in the air. Let’s plan on hangin out this week. I have an engagement over the weekend but, my schedule is mostly open. Take care!

Good photos. But the fly over was by the 104th Fighter Wing in Westfield.

Matthew Mutti - April 30, 2009 - 7:49 am

The flyover was conducted by the 104th Fighter Wing, not the 102nd Intel Wing. The 102 no longer flys aircraft.

Capt Matt Mutti

Jeff Newcum - April 30, 2009 - 7:51 am

Sorry about that. I googled the fly over and that was the info I found. I’ll change the reference so that it’s correct.

Jenna - May 25, 2009 - 12:04 pm

Amazing pictures! I especially love the one of my friend Danielle – she looks like she is having the time of her life!

Jeff Newcum - May 26, 2009 - 9:18 am

Thanks Jeanna! Capturing the emotion, joy, and determination at the Boston Marathon is phenomenal. Danielle really looks energized when she passed through Natick center.
