Baltimore Grand Prix 2011 Day-1

 I had the pleasure of waiting almost a year for this, About one year ago i found out that the Grand Prix was coming to my home town in Baltimore Maryland I knew at this point that i could not miss this for the world! So since i freelance for a few newspapers I used this to my advantage and was able to get some media pass. At first we were told we would get a photo vest meaning that we could shoot track side while the cars come at you at almost 200 mph!! I was super excited but with almost everything new..something goes wrong...When i went to pick my pass up i was told i only would have access to a media center as if i was a journalist  I went to talk to some of the officials and got shot down no worries when life gives your lemons just make lemon aid and well this is what i did today as i was asked to leave the mayors suit and well sneaking in to a top of a parking garage to get a vantage point no one else would have and got tossed out of there too all and all it was a very exciting day and i must say i got some pretty nice shots for my fist time ever shooting this type of event. I will be updating you for the next two days on the events and photos so please come back often.
