Chasing The Run

What started as a series to keep me motivated to go to the track became so much more than that. Sometimes it was about running, sometime it was about showing up.

Photography has been a constant medium for me to learn about myself and running added its own layer to that. It taught me consistency, showing up, pushing through, pausing when needed, finding reflections in everyday things, finding meaning in things that often go unseen and most of all being present. I’d go to the same track, but I saw things with a different perspective each time. 

For someone who wasn’t the most athletic growing up, picking up a physical activity had its own challenges but through the course I realized life is always teaching us through experiences, we just need to be open to learn from it. 

‘Chasing the Run’ to me is about being present both externally and internally. I took one photo each time I went to the track, each with a meaning personal to me - mostly a reflection of what I was feeling that day or the inspiration I wanted to take away from my run.

I hope you find your own meaning to them and they inspires you to Chase the Sun!
