I took the plunge and bought the whole set of shots from MarathonFoto. You will notice that "PROOF" isn't written conspicuously across the front. The marathon photo industry is a snake eating its own tail. They wouldn't have to charge so much if more runners bought the photos, and more runners would buy the photos if they didn't have to charge so much. It's Kafkaesque, really, to quote the great Jesse Pinkman. Here's a handful of shots. Posting this collection of pictures should assure me a spot in the narcissist hall of fame.
