- a photo on Flickriver

untitled

            One of the trickiest parts to my little California Highway Parties project was continually finding someone willing to drive my car while I climbed around inside (and outside) of it while taking pictures of people. 

They'd have to: 
-not get us into an accident that insurance wouldn't cover
-not get us stopped by the cops
-give us a bit of speed so we could get some wind blowing through the car
-take us to places that created good backgrounds
-not get us into an accident that would kill us all

So it was always people I trusted A LOT. My dad, my best assistant, one of my best friends...and a guy named Austin, once. Not sure how that one happened. Nice guy, but looking back, I'd only known him a little bit, poor choice for such awesome responsibility. 

Really, I'm shocked nothing bad ever happened on those shoots. I was hanging out of the car, my subjects were hanging out of the car, it was a real hoot. 

Tarren here, at one point, had at least half her body on the other side of that window, taking in the weekend air, not a care in the world. It created in people such a feeling of exuberance...sure, we all could've ended up in a mangled twist of metal and window wiper fluid and blood...but we sure had fun!
