Daylight, but You Wouldn't Know It


I shot this photograph at the U.S. Triathlon Series event in Miami, back in the late 1980s. It was a gray, rainy day, and there was lightning before the race start. It looked like the event was going to be called off. But the lightning flashes ended and the show went on.
Since it was a dismal day, I stopped down and used a fill-in flash to get this photograph of Lisa Laiti, a top female triathlete in her day. The water dripping off of her nose is more likely rain than sweat.
