Photographer Braves Flood to Capture Harness Racing Shots

A local harness racing track in the US experienced heavy rainfall on May 17th, 2025, causing flooding in certain areas. Despite the challenging conditions, one dedicated photographer, Chris Gooden, braved the elements to capture images of the event. "Try standing in sideways rain, dodging mud, and still getting the shot," Gooden commented on his short video showcasing his resilience. The video, which has gained over 1000 views in less than 24 hours, highlights the dedication of professionals who work in challenging conditions to deliver their work. This incident serves as a reminder of the unpredictable nature of outdoor events and the importance of preparedness for photographers working in such environments. The unexpected downpour, however, did not stop the races from taking place, demonstrating the spirit of perseverance among the participants and organizers.
