Photos: In chasing Tour de France, a photographer finds her voice

The peloton enters the Alps and begins to ascend the Col du Tourmalet.
2006 Stage 11 / Col du Tourmalet, France: The peloton enters the Alps and begins to ascend the Col du Tourmalet on July 13, 2006. The Tour becomes a different race once it enters the mountains. The race strategy shifts dramatically for the teams, and the logistics become much more difficult for the press corps. The Tour could be won or lost in a single decisive move. For photographers, the mountains offer breathtaking views, but severely restricted ways of accessing the race itself.
