i used to be concerned with photography taking over my love of running. i'm very much of an all or nothing type of person, not much grey area when it comes right down to it. for years i struggled with balancing my love of the two needs: am i a photographer who is also a runner, or a runner who is also a photographer? lately, i've noticed a shift in myself, a shift to where that question answered itself, and i'm happy with the answer: i'm right back to where i began when i first laced up my running shoes and went for a run.
