DescriptionA man in the foreground of this image, whose back is turned to the camera, rides a motorcycle that is tippng over. This is likely at or near the race track at the First American Pageant Grounds in Albuquerque, New Mexico. The buildings behind the riders are papier-mâché pueblo-inspired grandstands built for tourism. It appears as if the photographer is casting a shadow on the man's back.
