Angela in video posted with Kickstarter drive.
As many have noted,
Angela Jimenez of Minneapolis took her world-class eye to Lyon and captured amazing images for The New York Times.
(See the gallery here.) It’s part of her ongoing “Racing Age” series on masters track (which I
first wrote about five years ago). Now I’ve been informed that Angela is using Kickstarter in hopes of raising $25,000 for a book of her work on masters athletes of retirement age and older.
See it here. As with all Kickstarter drives, you get something in return — from a personalized post card (for a $15 pledge) to having Angela herself come out and shoot you (or another athlete) with her Hasselblad (for $2,500). Many pledgers will get her book as well when it comes out in 2016. Angela — like
Rob Jerome, Alex Rotas, Tom Phillips, Doug Smith and
Lesley Richardson — is helping spread the gospel to a mass audience. Angela says: “Help keeps these athletes’ stories, and spirits, alive.” She deserves our help as well.

I just wanted to share great news that we fully funded the Racing Age book of images and stories on masters track & field athletes on Kickstarter.

Now I will be making more images and audio and turning the project into a book. People can still use the link to support the project and pre-order books!
