Howdy!
Elevators are extremely difficult to photograph. I think I need to get a special lens.

Unfortunately, I didn’t keep any notes when taking the pictures.

So while I have some vague memories of where these are, I’m not 100% certain
![An elevator in Montreal An elevator in Montreal](https://i0.wp.com/zeke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/S1840007-560x315.jpg?resize=474%2C267)
100% of the time, and as a consequence prefer to leave them all unidentified
![An elevator in Montreal An elevator in Montreal](https://i0.wp.com/zeke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/S1840005-560x315.jpg?resize=474%2C267)
Instead of identifying some of them, and not identifying others.

After these, which are just a tiny, tiny selection of elevators in Montreal
![An elevator in Montreal An elevator in Montreal](https://i0.wp.com/zeke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/S1720009-315x560.jpg?resize=315%2C560)
I might have to start taking pictures of escalators that are not in the metro.

There are probably fewer escalators than elevators by a factor of at least 10, if not 100.

Which would mean, theoretically, that I might be able to get snapshots of all the escalators in town.

That all being said, I could also try to find a very wide angle lens
![An elevator in Montreal An elevator in Montreal](https://i0.wp.com/zeke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/058-372x560.jpg?resize=372%2C560)
And use some website like this

Combined with a spreadsheet

To actually enable me to photograph all the elevators in town in an organized fashion.

But somehow, I don’t think that beyond the concept of paying attention to things that we normally don’t pay attention to
![An elevator in Montreal An elevator in Montreal](https://i0.wp.com/zeke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/120130-032-420x560.jpg?resize=420%2C560)
That there would be any real demand, desire or interest in compiling a pictorial database of the Elevators in Montreal.

That all being said, are there any quote, cool or interesting, unquote elevators that you think are particularly noteworthy?
![An elevator in Montreal An elevator in Montreal](https://i0.wp.com/zeke.com/wp-content/uploads/2012/05/20120514-028-560x372.jpg?resize=474%2C315)
201 Notre Dame O would have been a good one to catch before it was turned into “luxurious living spaces.”

And are there any express elevators in town?

And if I were to do this seriously I probably should also snap pictures of the panel

And the plate to identify the manufacturer.

it sounds like an awful lot of work.

Let’s see if I get the wide angle lens first.

And then we’ll see what happens.
