This photo, to me, is a transit version of Robert Frost’s Poem, “Two Paths Diverged.” If you look closely, the rail is set out before the handle on the streetcar and it is
divided with one going left and one to the right. The handle at the fore front
of the picture is what the conductor uses to traverse the streetcar forwards
and backwards at the end of each route. I purposefully snapped the picture with
the intention on having the viewer see the handle.
While traveling in Tampa’s Historic Ybor District during their annual Italian Festival, I snapped this shot while on a Streetcar because the signage was overwhelming- yet organized. The building that we had just passed also appears as a reflection on the streetcars window and then sitting there in the streetcar, I could still see the passengers in their cars to the left, obeying the traffic signals. The juxtaposition was inspirational to me. We are all coming and going in all sorts of different directions. Passing by or coming thru, things are imprinted on us in indelible ways…just as the building on the streetcars window. And really, there are signs all around us, we just have to pay attention to life’s decorum as we are coming through…
