The the story of my first encounter with a 1964 Cadillac

It was a late night, Saturday, my birthday was the next day and I decided to go out with my camera

In the downtown streets of a nearby Lakeside town did I find HatersLoveMe6ix's Cadillac parked across from a fast food joint

I pulled over to the first parking spot and jumped out of my car in anticipation

Lit by street lamps and storefront signs, I started to shoot

It wasn't long before HatersLoveMe6ix came out of the restaurant with some friends

I
said hello and kept shooting while making polite conversation and being
sure to get some clean shots of him in his obviously associated Wrench
Mob jacket

Scarface came up about the meaning and importance of the vehicle which I took note of for later reference

These kinds of cultural references can be handy to a guy like me just starting out

A short time later they took their leave

Everyone hopped in and unexpectedly the car lifted from its super low squat with a sharp “PFSSSSSSSSS”

While
it slowly started gurgling its way down the street the passengers were
laughing and clapping in amusement. My relief when I realized I had
captured the moment was palpable

“Cool” I thought to myself as they rode off

The footage was less than great, It was my first test at night with ambient lighting and the footage was very dark.

I
was simultaneously deflated and invigorated by the experience, being
able to just find a car like this is surely something uncommon and worth
documenting

and so that’s what I do now.
