The first wave of runners make their way through Scenic Park as the sun rises during the Siouxland Lewis and Clark Marathon Saturday, October 17, 2009. (Jim Lee/Sioux City Journal)

It’s almost a small miracle: me waking up before sunrise. But some assignments call fro extreme measures.

Many of the pics were taken with my Canon 50D and 200/2, mostly with the 1.4 extender attached. And the wide shots were taken with my 40D with a 17-40mm lens.
