Salty Sunrise
After a very busy year since the last Bonneville in 2016, my heart and mind had never left the salt. A pinch of salt from the bosom of Bonnie herself is all you need to that catch salt fever. For a whole year I was reliving Speed Week through last year's photos trying to analyze what shots to look for the next trip. That never pans once you're thrown into the mellow madness on race day. The further I am away from the starting lines the calmer and more open I am about shooting. As much of a people person I am, when it comes to shooting cars I like to have it all to myself with no distractions. Bonneville, with it's wide-open spaces and painteresque mountains views, sets you up perfectly for those iconic shots.
Coming straight from Salt Lake City, I made sure to leave in time to make it for sunrise on the salt flats. Two and half hours later in my Hyundai rental, the Bonnie Beater as I like to call it, were 5th in line to get on the salts when they opened. I made it just in time to watch the sun slowly make it's way over the horizon and some low setting clouds. Coming back home to the salts can't be described by words alone so here are some early morning snaps from Day One.
