A white vintage Cadillac convertible parked on Campbell Parade at Bondi at night, red light trails from passing traffic streaking behind it.

The White Cadillac

Bondi Beach, Sydney · February 2017

Plate says it all: 03 CAD.

The Cadillac was parked on Campbell Parade with its top down, plate reading 03 CAD, chrome collecting every streetlight on the strip. I set up behind it and let the passing traffic drag red lines down the road toward the backpackers and the palm trees. Bondi at night is half seaside town, half film set. The car knew which half it was in.
