2011 Operation Jack Marathon Photos

Today was the second annual Operation Jack Marathon in Manhattan Beach, CA. My daughter has gotten into long distance running lately, so I decided to come down and shoot the event. Operation Jack was started by a marathon runner, Sam, that has a son, Jack, with severe autism. Sam decided to run for autism awareness and hopefully to raise some funds for charities such as Train 4 Autism. You can get more details on their site.

Surf at El Porto

These photos were taken November 25, 2011 just north of Rosecrans in Manhattan Beach, in an area known as El Porto. I headed over there on Black Friday to check out the surf and surfing action as I had been informed that the surf should be pretty photogenic. I got there late in the morning, so the bright sunlight played havoc with my photography, but the surfers seemed to be enjoying themselves.

GI Joe Pier-to-Pier Run/Walk

This morning I headed out to Hermosa Beach to take photos of the 3rd Annual GI Joe Pier-to-Pier Run/Walk. Participants run or walk from the Hermosa Beach pier to the Manhattan Beach pier and back again. From what I gather, this run started off as the graduation ceremony for the GI Joe Bootcamp which operates out of Manhattan Beach. Eventually the City of Hermosa Beach asked Joe to make it a community event. It was a bit chilly this morning, so that may explain the low turnout, but the participants all seemed to enjoy the run along the shore.
