Most photographs that adorn the sports pages of our newspapers, and many in the athletics journals too, are taken by very good photographers who do not specialise in athletics pictures.   There is nothing wrong with what they produce but when you get a photograph by a man or woman who knows about the sport, then the difference shows.   Graham MacIndoe is one of the finest sports photographers that the country has produced: he knows what pictures to take, where to take them, what angle might work best, which subjects make for good clear dramatic artwork.   In these few galleries of his work we will have photographs of some of the sports dramatic moments and many which are just very, very good pictures.   We start with some of his marathon work.
