I abstract the front end of a parked Rolls Royce by exposing for the colored reflections on the window, plunging the hood, grill, and wheel of this luxury automobile into deep shadow. Only the highlights survive. The shadowy figure of a man can be seen working on the other side of the car, readying it for its next assignment. The striking triangular highlight in the background acts as an arrow, pointing directly to the spot where the driver will sit. Rolls Royce and Bentley automobiles are powerful symbols of extreme wealth and power. They are expensive to buy, own, rent, maintain, groom, and garage. There are many such cars on the streets of Manhattan. This image, full of shadows and mystery, expresses the mystique inherent in such symbols.
