The Photography of Michael Rowley |
Eli was a fellow bike rider and train commuter I became friends with on my commute to the city. He moved back to Minnesota.
I met Mike at the train station in San Mateo, CA. We both took our bikes on CalTrain for the commute to San Francisco. Mike is a creative director. He hates this picture, but really, it's him. He didn't know I was taking his picture.
I shot this on my way to work. I was riding my bike up the Embarcadero in San Francisco. What you don't see in the picture are the guy's coworkers who are yelling and belittling him for taking the boat out my himself during the storm. He nearly capsized a couple of times in the few minutes I stopped to take the picture.
