All around me are familiar faces
Rainbow races, colored faces
Young and eager for the daily races
Erasing worries, erasing worries
I'll stop before I dig too deep. There's a reason I didn't write the original lyrics :P

This man embodies the entire essence of the Color Me Rad phenomenon. The 5K race is designed to encourage hilarity, outrageousness, and a complete lack of worry, and he embraced it wholeheartedly -- what a character.
Armed with an open mind, clothes he didn't care to keep clean, and a willingness to put himself out there, he joined the thousands of Seattle area "racers" that were blasted with color until it was caked on every single inch of their bodies. (I have a dust-coated camera to prove it!)
Without a hint of inhibition, he came prepared to do absolutely anything. See that little yellow world he's looking out at? He's got it under wraps ;)

Das Rad der Zeit
Jeder spricht vom Rad der Zeit,
ich hab' es nie gesehen.
Es "radelt" wohl zum Zeitvertreib,
bleibt es auch jemals stehen?
Schon mancher wurde überrollt
und nahm dabei kein Schaden.
Wer hat das denn nur so gewollt?
Die Zeit verlangt stets Taten.
"Was wäre wenn es rückwärts fährt,
macht man die selben Fehler?"
Die Frage wird wohl nie geklärt,
zu tief sind manche Täler.
Das Rad der Zeit dreht seine Kreise,
doch du bestimmst das große Ziel.
Es holt dich ein auf seine Weise,
'drum lebe immer möglichst viel.

On a walk around the city to catch up on events. September 3. 2014 Christchurch New Zealand.
RAD Bikes (Recycle A Dunger) is a Gap Filler project in collaboration with ICECycles (Inner City East Cycles). It is a community bike shed in the central city. RAD is a workshop space where anyone can build or repair bicycles and/or help restore bikes for ICECycles to give away.
The shed was designed by Nic and Jess Sewell and built (with love) by volunteers during September and October, 2013. It was made from predominantly re-cycled materials with the few new materials that were required sponsored by Buildtech. On-site storage for tools during the build has come from a sponsored Royal Wolf shipping container. It is a mobile building, currently located at 222 High St (corner of Cashel)
RAD has been in constant use since its inception, with hundreds of bikes coming and going from the workshop. People from all over Christchurch have utilised the space, along with backpackers, tourists and visiting academics and artists. RAD has also helped to organise ongoing workshops for groups such as Youthtown.
RAD has hosted its own events, including Christchurch’s first cargo bike race, market days and more.

Crow is an Esthy Rad.
His full name is Corneile, which actually I find kind of cute, even if he's supposed to have a bit of a mean-streak.
His previous faceup, also done by me, got into a little "accident."
Decided to modify a little bit instead of just following the old one.
Absolutely Loved this bus, the sunset glowing onto its awesome paint work just looked so good! I was camped out in front of it and the ammount of people stopping to take photographs showed it wasn't just me to thought that!

My homage to The Simpson’s “Radiation Radioactive Man” episode, inspired by this shot from Matthew Coughlin.
Strobist info: “Subjects” are lit with an SB-800 to camera left at 24mm shot through two sheets of tracing paper at 1/32 power. Back light is an SB-600 to rear camera right with two (2) stacked Full Green gels in a cardboard snoot at 1/16 power. Fog provided by a Ventasonic cool mist humidifier just behind and to camera right of the “subjects.”
