Avoiding being hit by cars

There is a bridge I drive over many times each week and on this bridge there are ramps down to the bottom. As I have been driving past this little area, I kept imagining taking pictures there. Then I realized that my friend Janele would be a perfect model to stick in that space and create a nice urban, bleak winter day kind of photoshoot.

Then my husband said, "Nikki you are going to get hit by a car." Apparently he's a Mr. Smarty-pants and knew there was no sidewalk to get up to the ramp and that the ramp was closed off at the bottom. Convinced it was possible, I stuck Janele in my car and we drove down the street. And then she said, "Nikki, we're going to get hit by a car if we go up there." So if your model wont' go, you don't go and we had a great shoot at the bottom of the ramp instead. She and I had such a great time and did so many shots I wasn't anticipating, I have too many to show off! She is a natural and I gave very little direction. Thanks, friend!

This first one exemplifies the style I was going for at the start, and then it just got crazy from there...
