CONTEST: MAN-MACHINE INTERACTION

The new theme is as the thread title says:

"M A N - M A C H I N E I N T E R A C T I O N"

A few notes and guidelines:
(1) "Man" is used to designate both males and females of the species.
(2) By "machine" I mean something more complex then a tupperware bowl or a pencil sharpener. In this broad context, the USS Nimitz would also be considered a "machine", although an exceedingly complex one.
(3) You may wish to use hackneyed scenes of a person shooting with a camera, driving a vehicle, riding a bike and such. Should you chose to go that route, you better make those images mighty good, otherwise you are not likely to win accolades in this contest.

The contest closes tomorrow (Monday) about 23:00 hrs EST, upon which time the results of entries judging will be posted.

Great topic, as usual! Let's kick it off...

I risked my life getting out my camera and shooting accross several lanes of traffic at 70mph just because I could not resist the look of this dude cruisin'...

Me. Crank up the ISO, power passenger window, quick glance in the view finder and fire... LOLA can't drive - she navigates - smart, I tell you!

Here's one from a foundry exhibition at a local art gallery... basic "machines" in this shop...

Notice shoe remaining planted on accelerator:

I hope a family member isn't on this forum. That would be extremely unfortunate.

Thank you for that very effective reminder of a sinister aspect of the "interaction".

Another crop for ya, PK... that's an "oh, sh*t" look in his eyes if I'm not mistaken...
