Photo of the Day: Tax Dollars

The story behind this photo is simple, but interesting. A friend and I were on our way to see Machete. While driving down the highway, passing Gail’s Harley Davidson, we saw an Apache helicopter landing. I used to be a huge nut for planes and helicopters, so naturally I was pretty excited. We had our cameras with us, too, as we were planning on shooting a timelapse after the movie. We immediately pulled over. This particular photo is the police escort part of the ride. A lot of bikers showed up for the 9/11 ride, in memoriam of the tragedy. These cops, and their beautiful motorcycles, helped keep things orderly.
