Take Me Away... Picture

Winning entry, with a score of:
63.3%
Contest goal:

We've all seen them, driving by in the highway or just in town. Enter your shots of hitch hikers. For all of you who are not sure what a hitch-hiker is, know that it generally is someone who is on the side of the road, insinuating by either holding their thumb out looking for a ride or some sign insisting they are looking for a free ride. Good Luck!


Required level: 10+ or higher.
Status: finished. Check out the winners below!

maclu2iaf: why this one jawsh? you know its very hard to find one nowadays ..they all in the process of extinction ( 5 years and 3397 days ago )
smokebigbird: its illegal to hitchhike where i live ( 5 years and 3397 days ago )
magicsteve: Quick question, can these shots be staged in any way? I ask this because A.) hitchhiking is illegal in most (if not all) of the U.S. and B.) It may be dangerous to photograph a strange man/woman on the side of the road who may or may not have a gun hidden somewhere. :\ ( 5 years and 3396 days ago )
magicsteve: And I do recognize that a lot of the artists on this site do not live in the U.S. ( 5 years and 3396 days ago )
EmiK: This would be a great photoshop idea. We could really make them look scary like I sometimes feel when I see them. Not all but most, oh but the other day I saw a woman hitchhiker, now that's something you don't see that often now a days. ( 5 years and 3396 days ago )
jawshoewhah: I never said it couldn't be staged so go for it. ( 5 years and 3396 days ago )
jawshoewhah: I still see them once in awhile, even if it is illegal. ( 5 years and 3396 days ago )
athousandwords: Hitchhiking is very common where I am. (Even people hitching with their little kids.) I wouldn't take a picture though for the above mentioned reasons! ( 5 years and 3396 days ago )
Contest Moderator: The shots can be staged. ( 5 years and 3396 days ago )
Lamantine: No hitchhikers in my country ( 5 years and 3395 days ago )
jawshoewhah: Also remember, just because I suggest contest, doesn't mean it's going to be picked. ( 5 years and 3395 days ago )
Lamantine: Im not blaming anyone , Josh ( 5 years and 3394 days ago )
k5683: I still see hitchhikers once in a great while even if illegal. That's probably why this is a 10+ ( 5 years and 3393 days ago )
jawshoewhah: Now I wish I went out of my way and made an entry..... ( 5 years and 3391 days ago )
