Kinetic Sculpture Race


Today marks the 40th Anniversary of the Kinetic Sculpture Race in Arcata. At 10 a.m. I drove into town and wandered the square looking for photo ops. I am downloading 272 pictures I took there. No telling how many of them will be quality shots. Too many people oblivious to cameras pointing at a subject. Saw many bizarre people, got a Free Hug from a man dressed as a spotted dog, got scolded by a woman when I stood in front of her kids to get a good shot of a metallic chicken, listened to a brass band playing some cool big band music. Once the Noon Whistle blew and the race started the camera went above the heads of the crowd for who knows what shots. It was well worth the 2 hours I spent downtown.
