Trong lúc thực hiện nhiệm vụ cho McCall's vào tháng 9 năm 1969, Milton đã tham gia cùng Steve McQueen trong giải đua Baja 1000, một cuộc đua xe địa hình xuống bán đảo Baja. Milton đã ghi lại hơn 350 bức ảnh trong thời gian họ ở bên nhau. Bức ảnh này chụp Steve đang quan sát mọi thứ trong chiếc áo phông, mũ len màu nâu và khăn rằn đỏ quấn quanh cổ.

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.
