Trivia

This commercial was filmed in the exact same location where I shot several of my Mt. Rainier shots this past summer. It's been playing for the past month or so on local TV.

State Senate candidate in Washington State's 31st district Yvonne Ward takes a different approach to campaign advertising with this tribute to the classic Rainier Beer motorcycle commercial. This ad was filmed in the exact same location as the original which is in the 31st District.

Here are a few pictures taken from just about where the motorcycle is at the 18 second mark, just beyond the yellow sign. I have a few others at home that were originally hosted on imagehostingsite but are no longer available. I'll post them later.
