t's just before sunrise, the day after a thunderstorm swept past New York leaving the ground moist and the air crisp, with the early morning temperature hovering around 55 degrees Fahrenheit. On the winding Route 6 leading up to Bear Mountain State Park, some 50 miles north of Manhattan, photographer Roger Schederin and I are in a minivan, desperately trying to keep up with a Ferrari 550 Barchetta Pininfarina in the hands of its owner, Bill Hart of Irvington, New York.

This is no easy task.
The Barchetta is clothed in a rich, black-on-black color scheme that blends nicely into the pre-dawn dimness. Occasionally Roger and I can see the glowing red taillights of the Ferrari ahead, but soon they disappear into a blind corner. Bill is a true car enthusiast who enjoys driving his 550 Barchetta on public roads. In fact, he volunteered to get up at 4 a.m. today to drive for our sunrise photography.
