AZ/DC Story Behind The Photo

Last year we did a DC shoot in Arizona with Tom and Ed and one of the nights we ere out riding in the rain and sought cover in a parking garage when it got to heavy to handle.
Driving around through the winding maze of parking levels we saw this huge painted sign on the wall that read: STREET PARKING.  Of course we were interested in the part that said STREET in 6-ft tall letters.
Ed hopped out and we shot a couple off as cars were pulling through. I was just watching some of the new DC Teamworks videos and came across this photo that I had totally forgotten about. It’d buried in the DC site on a calendar page but it it probably on of my favorite photos of 2008.  I used one Quantum Q flash and a tripod because i was at 1/40th of a second shooting with a 70mm lens and didn’t want camera shake.  I won’t say what town that parking garage is in because I want to go back at shoot some more with that backdrop. It would be a sweet opener for a rider ad to celebrate a NORA cup win.  So that is the story behind the photo!
