My goal during a downpour that hit Tulsa on the afternoon of Aug. 13, 2013 was to shoot at least five action photos of people in the rain. And also to get a ratio of how many of those people would give their names.
I did pretty good. I got all five photos.
People in four of the five photos gave me their names.
The man who did not appeared to be in such a rush that he did not even respond to my "can I get your name?" question. However, since he was in a public place, I can still use the photo for the Tulsa World.
Attached are images of my 30 minutes in the rain. Hopefully they make you feel as drenched as I do.
