Portrait of a Racer [Motorsports Motocross Pictures Motorbike Pictures]
Uploaded: August 19, 2010 06:21:15
The race is motocross and the racer is my son, Bryan. On this day I was using a 70-200mm lens. I was sitting in our car watching him prepare for his upcoming race. He was unaware of me as I set my camera and adjusted my focus. Just as I was snapping off this image, his eyes met mine (yes, through my lens). The moment after this was captured, Bry was rolling his eyes and shaking his head, as if to say, "Mom, not now!". As he rode off towards the start, I prayed he'd have a safe ride and finish well. He rode a clean ride and finished 3rd. Whew....
