Wow! My image made it onto the shortlist for WORLD ATHLETICS PHOTOGRAPH OF THE YEAR!! ⁣ ⁣ I’m extremely honored the panel (Raquel Cavaco Nunes, Ivo Gonzalez, @bobmartinphotography , @thomasroehler, and @stefanidi_katerina ) picked my image, and to be next to some of the best sports photographers in the world is really something special. THANK YOU!! ⁣ ⁣ This image was from the Summer when @PortlandTrack hosted a track meet deep in the OreGon woods. I knew it as special when I took it but the meaning to this photo just keeps building and building. ⁣Taken on a #Canon1dxmkii with #canon70200mm @canonusa 📸 @canon_photos ⁣ ⁣ #WorldAthletics #WorldAthleticsPhoto #HowLaoPhotography #SportsPhoto #TrackPhoto #TrackPhotography #Canon #CanonPhoto #PortlandTrack
