Have a Story to Tell

Make sure you have a story to tell. In many cases the image won't say a thousand words! It's important that you gather as much information as you can from your subject.

For example Marco Hidalgo, a racer at the Rainforest Run in Costa Rica who started racing with his black pair of shoes, soon after the first of six days of running Marco found a hefty set of blisters in his left foot. Marco tried on his second pair of shoes (orange) just to find after the second day of running that his right foot now had matching blisters... Needless to say, he found the perfect pair, a combination that took him to the finish line of a 220+ Kilometer race.

On the other hand, someone I short-after saw with a smile on his face was the owner of the Asics distribution store in Costa Rica... Marco's outfit and story were a perfect blend to get some new running shoes and socks for Lead's team.
