Capture the Hog: Photographic Observations

Posted by Tanja / September 20, 2005

september2005_tetris.jpgLast night, heading home on the streetcar after a late night blogTO meeting, I wound up across from a strange, yet insightful, old gent. Stirring up some conversation, he asks me about the blogTO sticker on my camera bag. I proceed to tell him, briefly, about the site. He sits back, nodding and reflecting on what I'd described, then says (and I kid you not),

"Interesting... Yeah, I like that. Interesting -- but what's the point? I've lived in Hogtown for all my 50 plus 20 years and it's never needed anybody to speak for it. *laugh* The hog needs NO WORDS!"

Ironically having no good words to respond with, I just laughed (moving slighly away from his leaning over) and responded, "Well, I guess it works that I take photos?"

He says, "Capture the hog."

And so it is: "Capture the hog" will be my ongoing series of photos that capture a bit about 'the hog'/TO and its indescribable self.

Today's shot: Loft Tetris.

"Capture the Hog" beats "Toronto: Unlimited" any day. :-)

Ha! I'm with you on that one, Sean. See what a public poll of our seniors could have done?

When he said "capture the hog," are you sure he didn't mean somehting else? Lots of sickos in this town where shoes strung on electrical wires passes as art.
