The photos of the week: February 27 - March 2

Posted by Staff / March 2, 2012

Toronto skylineWe've run a photo of the week contest on blogTO for a little over a year now, and given the loyal following it's developed, we thought we'd give it a bit more visibility by posting each week's candidates on Fridays (as opposed to Sundays). Given that this is the first week in its new time-slot, there are only five photos to present, but that'll obviously correct itself in subsequent weeks. Aside from the schedule change, everything else about the contest remains the same.

The photos of the week collect each of the editor-selected photos of the day into one post for a contest to be decided by our readers. Sponsored by Posterjack, the photographer whose image receives the most votes will be awarded with a voucher code for a 24"x36" poster print of their work.

All the rules and fine-print can be found in the original announcement post on the blogTO Flickr page. One thing to add, however, is that the voting period ends at 12:00 p.m. on Monday, after which the winner will be contacted with the good news.

For those photographers whose images are featured below, please feel free to give us a little information about your shot — i.e. where and when it was taken — in the comments section. Who knows? Maybe your description will sway voters in your favour!

My pic "Broken City" was taken last month from the vacant Tower Automotive building on Sterling Rd. near Bloor and Lansdowne.

Toronto is not broken - the place is booming! Look at all the construction cranes across the city

Great photo, Vic. Solid pictures all round this week in fact.

My image is from the Dufferin bridge, I like this weathered old sign hanging in front of a set of stairs down to the tracks that haven't been used in decades. I stopped by one day at sunset to take this photo.

Good solid selection this week. Congrats to all.

My preference is for ~EVIDENCE~'s selection, but I'd say all the photogs have some good stuff here.

hey BlogTO - why can't I FB anything from this site?

Maybe it's because of the fact that if they wanted something from this site on Facebook, they would put it there.
