Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race 2009

San Francisco is pure photo gold! There's always crazy stuff going on. Last month the Potrero Hill neighborhood hosted the Bring Your Own Big Wheel Race. It's exactly as it sounds: people race big wheels (and other things like recycling bins) down a steep and windy hill while mobs of fans cheer them on. It is a sight to see...and photograph! There were some crazy characters: I had fun playing with panning: Once in awhile I caught racers losing control: Focusing/compositional mistakes created interesting shots: Lastly, I wasn't the only photographer out there! I had a great time and will definitely go back next year. You can see all my photos here.
