Today was the last days for horse races at Bay Meadows in San Mateo. The oldest horse race track in California decided they were not going to invest into the new security measures for horses and jockey's.

A rich history of horse races is ending.

In the movie American Beauty Jane and Ricky bond over camcorder footage of a plastic bag "dancing" in the wind, which Ricky considers the most beautiful thing he has ever recorded.

Yesterday I saw this newspaper blown by the wind, picked up and flying at Dolores Park in San Francisco. I made some shots of the newspaper flying in the air, blown by the wind, thinking about putting these together in a short movie.

Made with:

• Canon EF 70-200mm f/2.8L IS USM
• Canon Rebel XT

Date: May 8 2008

Makes me remember the scene from American Beauty...
