Preakness Infield: The Professional Photos

My PowerShot proved inadequate to truly capture the flavor of the Preakness infield ("Lite Beer Chocolate Chip Mudslide" was the flavor, for the record). Luckily, the pros were there, leading to one of the better photo captions I've ever seen, from Reuters's Jonathan Ernst: "A woman dodges a flying beer can after baring her breasts during the massive infield party before the 133rd running of the Preakness Stakes."

Yup, that's about what it felt like in there. Ernst accomplished in 23 words what it took me several hundred to convey. Reuters also brought you the equally alluring "A man drops his pants during the massive infield party before the 133rd running of the Preakness Stakes" caption, although that photo, a "Behind" shot in more ways than one, is fairly disturbing. I don't have Reuters power, but here are a few more looks at what things felt like:
