I'm gonna be in a museum!!!

I took this picture of Cook Neilsen, Cycle Magazine editor, at the 1974 race at Pocono. Recently I got a notice that the Simeone Museum is doing a Ducati show and Cook will be attending. Short story is they are going to use my photo for the exhibit. I'm pumped. And I really did plan to take the photo, luck had nothing to do with it.

BTW- if you are in philly screw the liberty bell go here:

Now that's some history there, and I'll definitely pay the museum a visit next time I'm in Philly.

But I wouldn't mind seeing the Liberty Bell either...again...and Pat's Steaks, of course.

Everything about this photo was luck. When the film was developed I thought there was a scratch on the film, turns out it was the chain. And I have thousands of almost in focus shots from the 70's, for this to turn out so well was pure luck.
