Hi fellows.

I was on my way back to my office to download the pictures that afternoon, when suddenly a yellow car passed next to me. I noticed something unusual and it took me a few seconds to realize that a clown was driving, but I also saw a small clown in the lap of the woman in the passenger seat.

I recalled that line from the movies and I told myself: “follow that cab!”.

While I was driving I pulled my Nikon from the bag, changed the ISO and white balance, set autofocus, and in the next light I stopped next to the cab and asked the driver for a picture. He agreed and instantly the kid put his hand in the window and pulled himself to give me that look. One shot and I said “Gracias”.

Thanks to all of you.
