On the cover
For this issue's cover image, Baltimore-based photographer Marshall Clarke used a wide-angle lens at ground level to capture the Johns Hopkins cross-country team doing sprints during a daily training session. Strobes set up on either side of the runners helped freeze motion and add drama to the image. Clarke specializes in portrait, editorial, and documentary photography.
