Best of last year

I took this photo at the Heavy Rebel Weekender in Winston-Salem. The look on the guy's face reminds me of photos of white southerners from the civil rights era: friendly but wary. I was watching the hotrods drive past and I caught him by surprise. He later told me that he thought about giving me the finger when I took the photo.
