250 miles to the location, Three (un)dress rehersals, an aborted first shoot and two days waiting for the weather conditions to be perfect ... probably the most annoyingly time consuming and expensive photo I have ever taken ... and its still wrong ... grrr ...
I planning on reshooting this in large format this September so this might be this versions last outing ...

    I am sure Joe Rosenthal would have approved! This has really made my day. A beautiful parody of an icon.
