ironman kona 2008


I had a chance to work with NBC Sports this year covering the race.
Access was unlimited and the variety was unlike any I've ever had.

Enjoy! And if you see yourself or a loved one and want to purchase a copy, send me a note!


The race chronology proceeds from the bottom of the gallery to the top.
Later in the day I actually thought of turning on the GPS... so check for the View Map link.

Nice event coverage Dave. Some really intense close-up work in your mood vignettes really draws the viewer in, both artful and good for commercial support branding. Looking forward - g
