The photos of the week: July 28 - August 3

Posted by Tom Ryaboi / August 3, 2012

island musicThe 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 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, 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!

Assuming no good pics will come in on August 3rd worthy of posting?

Is the shot of the idiot texting while he's biking a social commentary? Let's hope a cop sees this and charges him. It's only a matter of time before his unfortunate end under a car is the fault of every nasty mean car driver in the city.

This picture shouldn't have been added here. It's going to detract from the contest itself. I'm surprised BlogTO would condone this type of action.

I agree with you. And based on previous contest entries, and Blog TO's position that photoshoping images is not a problem, we can't even be sure that the lightning one is real anymore.

Right, but pictures should not just be a reductive record of events that actually happened; they should be more a full record of what was intended to have happened. I think that's the more accurate version, don't you?

You mean the guy with the guitar might be shopped in too? I wish he wasn't there, he ruins an otherwise nice photo of TO!
