WTF is Tom’s great white buffalo?

I’m technically not allowed on the U of U campus.

Part of shooting urban is getting kicked out, but sometimes ticketed.

Yah, there’s a dumpster in the landing coming out of the rail.

It snows again, yup, same dumpster.

It didn’t have wheels.

Then it was spring, game over.

Turn the clock forward to the day before Thanksgiving this past fall.

Another feature on my 5 year old to-shoot list.

Oh, it’s going down at sunrise, Thanksgiving day.

That means I have to leave now and drive through the night.

A long overnight drive back home to Salt Lake City, Utah.

Needless to say I was pretty tired and had to pull over a few times and sleep.

I was pretty determined to make it back by sunrise.

We finished up around 11am and I went home and eventually crashed.

At 10pm we head out to the down c down, finally.

Great, well I guess it’s time to test my plan right?

Then the most unexpected thing happens, the cop just drives away.

He saw everything going down and just didn’t care.

After a bunch more tries, it just wasn’t happening.

We gave up and went home.

It’s still not done!
