Sometimes I just get lucky, like the day that I was photographing a bike race in West Dundee and I saw Mike Dutczak of Crete IL reading a magazine while he waited for his son to race in the Intelligentsia Cup bike criterium.That alone would be an okay picture but it just so happened that on the back of the magazine that he was reading was a full page photo of of Bono's face.What do you think? Do you have a picture that was made with a little bit of luck?
