Drove My Chevy (It Was Heavy)

And The Levy Was High

This is probably the best example of why I always have my camera with me. This afternoon, I pulled up at an intersection on Springvale Road - and there was this sight to behold. A beat-up old Chevrolet Impala on a tow truck was about 15 metres in front of me. The Chevy's fins actually looked like they were sprouting out of the toof of the burgundy Camry in front of me. I pulled up behind the Camry, grabbed my camera case, got the lens cap off and swtched the camera on. I could see the lights were about to change at any second. No time to focus. No time to compose a frame. I just had time for one shot and the light turned green. But if I didn't have my camera with me, I would have turned green. With envy.
