Acclaimed Chicago-based photographer Paul Octavious captured a sweet overhead shot of his city’s marathon on Sunday. Octavious, who has worked with Nike, Wired, Print, the Wall Street Journal, Mercedes, Hermès, and the New York Times, among others, filmed runners crossing over the Chicago River near the start of the Chicago Marathon.
