Just as we went to bed last night the sad news came through that the British racing driver Dan Wheldon had been killed in the Indy 300 race in Las Vegas. Although I don’t follow Indy Car racing it’s always great to hear about a Brit doing well in any sort of sport, especially as he won the Indy 500 earlier this year. It seemed appropriate to create a photo in his honour today so I used this model of Kevin’s, lighting it to focus on the driver.

A beautiful picture for a good cause Helen. Rest in peace, and encourage your family. ????? · 2011-10-17: 15:47

A wonderful tribute for a great driver! Hopefully issues involving track conditions, etc will be hashed out because of this tragedy. Always sad when that occurs as a result of a death. danrav · 2011-10-18: 12:06
