I was there too, Joe. What I remember most about it was the moment it took as I actually stepped out of the car, rested the camera on an 18% grey bean bag, placed on top of the open car door, and set off the shutter. I was immediately drained of intense emotion as I sank limply back into the rig's driver's side front seat. A smile crept across my lips, the shaking diminished and I began to regain control of my senses. It was then I relized my pants were wet. I'll mark time from that event.
