I miss these buses, the GMC buses. They remind me of caterpillars, now they are rusting away. That could make a great photo as well, now I must be in search of them. Remembering riding on these buses, they used to rock back and forth in a rolley kind of way and that is how I remember them, by feel. Not saying I don't like the new buses, of course I do. They belong to the TTC and that equals awesome.
Out of all the subway stations in Toronto Runnymede Station is my favourite, it feels like home. In the past I've taken many pictures of it. The subway is part of my everyday life and I wouldn't have it any other way.
The above shot, taken with my Samsung Note 3, is a vision I needed to put into art. I would see this everyday and never take the time to shoot it, except this one night where everything lines up perfectly. The street light shining in the top left corner, the angle, the fact that it was night time. All made sense.
Here is a vision, looking at a TTC LRV Streetcar in motion. I was standing at Spadina Subway Station where the 510 Spadina Streetcar come in, getting that in motion photo. I did take many, also looking for the ghost like view of people entering the trolley.
The above is what I managed to get at the time. I was still experimenting at the time with my style in hopes to do this again one day. You know how busy life can get, where you don't have time to dig out the Nikon to have all this fun. Hell, I still have many photos that I need to edit, time permitting.
So for the love of the TTC, hug a bus. Ok so I'll hug the damn bus. I will also find the perfect moment at the magic hour to get the perfect shot of the perfect bus in my eyes. There will be so many future stories of the TTC to come. Just one of my obsessions.
