You know something funny ... in all of these photos (except the crowd shot w/fireworks) you can make out at least one Nike swoosh. I'm pretty sure Todd wasn't visually attracted to the swoosh. I'm more certain it was completely unavoidable at any angle at the Trials. Even the shot of Marshevet Hooker (running for adidas) has it in the background.
Awesome photos Todd! You were competing against the R-G (who had at least two photogs on the infield at all times; the reward they get for rubbing the backs of UO athletics at every turn) and still managed to get better shots than them.

(That was for you, Mr. Vishanoff.)
But seriously, thanks for the compliment, Chuck. I had a lotta fun down there. And yeah, the swoosh was EVERYwhere. Nike made sure everyone knew how much money they dropped for the Trials.
On a side note -
One time when I was scurrying around the in-field, I paused a little too long in front of a Visa sign and was asked to move. hahahhaaha. Don't be blockin' the sponsors yo!
