Photos of the 5th Annual Hoosier Marathon  Fort Wayne, Indiana, USA June 12, 1999 by Esmond Mah I screwed up.  The cheap fixed focus camera I carried during the Hoosier marathon had a panorama adapter which cuts off 20% of the frame on each of the long sides of the standard 35 mm frame.  This gives the panorama effect.  I forgot to take the adapter out.  That is why I lot of of these shots are long and narrow and may appear to have objects missing in the picture. What I shot: Mainly people I knew in the race, random shots of runners, the start and some of the leaders. In the captions below I've named the people I could identify.
