Vintage police cars, Savannah, Georgia, 2014

Several old police cars are on exhibit just outside of the Savannah police headquarters. I use only two of them in this abstraction. I focused on the black car in the foreground and used the background car as softly focused context. The focal point of this image is the red searchlight mounted on the black car. Red is a color of urgency, emergency, danger, and pursuit. Its presence speaks of a patrol car’s function. The car itself looks much like any other car after I cropped the image to remove the police-car identity that was visible on the side of the car. However the red light is there to tell the story.
