Matchbox & Hot Wheels

A red die-cast Camaro photographed on dark wood

Note

Found it in a glass case behind a stack of unopened blister packs, three streets off Nathan Road. The spectraflame still reads as candy even under a strip light that should have killed it.

I photographed it on the hotel desk that night — walnut laminate, one lamp, the city still moving under the window. This is the car that started the habit of writing the label before I unpacked the rest of the bag.
