let there be lights

let there be lights

A shop with light fixtures in Kolkata photographed from the street. What is the man doing... is he reading a book? I'm not sure if that's really appropriate for light fixtures like these...

I imagine some of those light fixtures hanging over tables surrounded by red vinyl bench seats in a dimly-lit, smoky disco somewhere in the 70's. Deep, funky bass notes are spilling out of the speakers like a waterfall, gently sweeping you away from the table and onto the dance floor without you realizing it's happening. The half-full glass of your favourite drink will still be waiting there on the table, gently glistening in the warm light from these funky light fixtures. [I may have listened to funky disco music from million dollar disco while writing this.]
