Between what was captured today and what will be captured tomorrow, you are going to see a ton of photos…with the Woodward Dream Cruise being the world’s largest one-day automotive event in the world, it’s gonna be like shooting fish in a barrel: just aim the camera and shoot. Just be careful who you point that camera at…you might come up with some surprised faces:
