Cars, Drummoyne, Feb 1979
I cannot recall the exact details of this photo, in particular
the ghostly image of a woman or man clad in white on the other side of the street.
It's odd that the headlights coming towards me seem extremely bright for a single car or truck
yet obviously no vehicle passed beyond the ghostly image.

One of the oddest things about the history of this shot is that
I wrote down all the details (including the time) but not the date. It was a rainy
work day - I did not attend work that day.
This is one of my most commented on images. I guess it stirs
up something in many people (even if it's just one of those "Yes, but what does
it mean?" type comments).
This is a scan of the original printed version. Below are variations.

This is a scan I made from the negative. I have done little
to it except lighten the shadows. There is little of no red in the scan of
the negative so I can only assume the printer (not me) was a little
liberal with their interpretation (see above)!?

I had always thought that this shot and the next couple, all taken
on the same night I think, were chronologically earlier than the previous Drummoyne
shots. Not the case it seems. This shot has always been a favourite of mine.
