The beach is a great place; full of life. The venders are there everyday. It's like a city within a city with a culture of its own. Love it. And yes, the run is, I think, the only time where cameras are in the open. Except, of course, for Wreck Beach Day (and the skinny dipping world record attempts) when hundreds pose for a group shot.

The photographer is freelance and, I believe, he sells photographs to chinese language websites and newspapers; In Canada and Hongong. I gather he is Canadian but I never spoke with him. There are other non-censored photos of 2009 and other years including ones taken at the finish line. Watermelon is a local celebrity and she was very good at motivating the runners.

You say there are other non-censored photos from 2009 and other years. Can you post them here or link to them?
