From Lights To Buses

This is enjoyable, I went back in time to find this photograph for you. 2007ish. I think. The reason this picture still stands out in my mind is because this light fixture is still sitting there in the same window, in the same place, doing the same thing in 2014. I see it on my way home everyday. There is a store on Dupont Street that only sells light fixtures and I'm sure it has been around for for many years prior to my picture being taken.
One day I may walk right into this store and buy the damn light. As for now now, there it is. For the most part the reflection is what makes the photo interesting to me. It's like a two in one done way before the days when you could combine photos on your smartphone. Just a camera, as light fixture, a window, and a refection of the building across the street.
I'm really wondering how much that thing costs as I may want to buy it now. Just watch, the moment I enter the store it will be gone or sold to someones else. No worries, it made the shot.
Dupont Street is filled with adventure, so many old buildings and stores with old things in them. You could almost feel the 1940's all over that street, maybe earlier. I should look that up one day. Every time I walk down that street, camera in hand, I find something that I've never seen before, even though I look at it almost every day.
This also brings me back to a time when they used to run trolley buses down the street, the 4 Annette Street bus (which has been replaced with the 26 Dupont bus, same thing, different name). I remember as a kid in the 1980's waiting for the bus to roll on by, they were so quiet, just a swoosh of vehicle going by.

Thank you Wikipedia.

There is an old shot of the buses I used to see, so awesome looking. Ok so now we all know about my love for transit and well the TTC (Toronto Transit Commission). I do wish that I could ride in one of those trolley buses, but they removed all the overhead wires years ago, and most of those buses are in museums or rusted out somewhere. Bummer.
