Interstate

March 7, 2010

My Saturday afternoon was spent trying to get back to the Bay Area from Truckee/Tahoe after my friend’s truck broke down upon arrival at our destination. While stopped along the highway for the 3rd time, we jumped the Jersey barrier dividing a bike path running parallel to the motorway.

Broke down by the highway.

Compositionally, I got the shot I wanted. In retrospect, I would have wanted to convey the dangerous situation we were in- This was an exceptionally bad place to have stopped (we were forced to, due to the engine on the verge of seizing.) Having only my iPhone camera with me, I settled for this but had I thought more about it, I might have tried something from the perspective of the front tire with the cars speeding by.
