The Gift

Meredith Music Festival has been going for 16 years, and on the last day there is a brief race called "The Crumpler Meredith Gift". This race is sponsored by Crumpler, who makes special edition bags that are the object and the goal of the race.  It's a primeval dash and a dirty scramble naked in the dust. What attracted this photographer is there are no pauses and no posing. And the fact of never having seen a penis before in his entire life was a shock. 

And an illumination.

Overheard at the race-

 “Run for the laugh at yourself. Run to bring on rain. Run to forget death.”
