i see red i see red i see red (i see red)

this morning, i spotted a red cortina driving down collins st

not this one, obviously

shifting my gaze to the left i saw a lovely red clutch with a huge buckle in the prada windows

again, this isn't a photo of the one i saw

i liked the detail of the tail-light of the cortina,
and the detail of the heavy prada buckle

in my mind i put them together
click-click
trying to take a photo of the cortina before it
trying to take a photo of the cortina before it disappeared in traffic (i didn't manage it), i noticed how red my hand appears when seen close up through the camera lens
this is a photo of the red of my hand held close to the lens
this afternoon, i tried to take a photo of the red prada clutch in the window.

it had gone.
an interesting experience of the here and now.
already, things i saw this morning are history
