yeeeaaaaah your stream is on fire
another neat motor vehicle sucked into the abyss,
enjoyed by toads and eels for a night.
is it a right off?
would you want it back anyway?
IF i did get it out, can i claim salvage rights?
'how the f*** did you manage that?' i said to the driver.
the police didn't seem to mind and weren't asking questions: someone had to.
'well, i had to swerve to avoid a really large cat...or maybe it was a fox'
'bet you wish you'd driven over it now' i said.
driver had CLEARLY gone too fast into the bend, crashed through the metal railings, flew over a tree and belly flopped the water for a while before dropping in, cartoon style.
'don't worry' i said as i was taking pictures, '...you're right on trend'
'you what mate?' said the driver
'very fashionable: you're the second swimmer this week'
the ambulance, police, driver and his 'friend from the golf club' in another car left and it felt strangely like they were abandoning a dying animal:
the car still had it's ineffective windscreen wipers on and all the lights were shorting: flikering on/off, the headlights still on and shining underwater.
like a wilderbeast stuck in a swamp and running out of energy.
as i was photographing the car by moonlight there was a death-cry gurgling as it was being sucked down deeper into the stream.
cooool
when we used to have the perou-factory in hackney wick (when it was still frontier territory and not a hipster enclave) i used to take photos of cars on fire shot from my doorway.
now i live in countryside i get to take photos of cars in streams shot from my driveway.
i feel an alternative car photo portfolio coming on...
