Mens han var på oppdrag for McCall's i september 1969, ble Milton med Steve McQueen på Baja 1000, som var et sanddynebilløp nedover Baja-halvøya. Milton dokumenterte over 350 bilder i løpet av tiden de var sammen. Dette bildet er av Steve som tar en titt på alt i t-skjorten sin, brun strikkelue og rødt bånd rundt halsen.
I was worried the print would feel flat, but the image has so much depth you can almost hear the engine noise and feel the dust from the Baja 1000. It's the perfect 350-shot archive moment, and the paper quality really makes McQueen's expression pop.
You can almost feel the dust and engine heat in every frame from that Baja 1000 shoot—the 350 images Milton captured really show McQueen’s grit, not just his movie-star polish. The print itself is sharp and the tones feel true to the era. It’s the kind of piece that makes you stop and study it every
I wasn't expecting the archival paper to feel this substantial in hand, but it gives the whole frame a gallery-weight presence. The way Greene froze that cloud of dust behind McQueen's buggy makes you swear you can hear the engine.
