I recently had another chance to get out and take a few more photographs for my Old and New project. I can't begin to describe how this project has affected me. Some people would call it busy work but thats the fun of it. The fun of the search, the intrigue of the story behind the photograph and then figuring out where the person took it from and all the other characteristics of making it work with the new photo. This recent one of 2 Ave South and 5 Street South - Street Car, as I was editing it into the new photo I kept wondering to my self where were all these people going? Did they know one another? Then my mind wandered to thinking about the death of the rail car. The trolly replaced by bus and car. I think it would be cool to wake up get your coffee, hear the ding of the bell and the clack of the metal on meta read your newspaper as the trolly took you to work. Seems it would be a little simpler, slow things down a little in this fast paced world. I guess this is what makes this project so enjoyable.
