The blogTO Flickr Forum is a weekly sampling of themed photographs taken by Torontonians and aims to not only feature the talent they possess, but also spur dialogue and reveal the stories behind the images.

Today's collection of Toronto photographs is made up of responses to our call for photos that fit the theme "CHANGE". These images were all recently submitted to the blogTO Flickr pool.

To the photographers: we'd love to hear about your photos. A little info on where it was taken and the story behind the photo is always a great start.

To the rest of you, feel free to ask questions to the artists, submit photos to the blogTO Flickr pool for next week's consideration, or just sit back and enjoy our weekly mosaic.

Continue for links to larger versions, and to check out the next theme.

Mine was more of a test shoot than anything else. I shot my friend Sean and the scene separate from each other, then blew him up to super size in that scene in photoshop afterwards. Sean was given some fill from camera left from a wireless flash unit.

The final result is thanks to about an hour of photoshoppery. If anyone has questions, ask; I don't care for hording so-called "secrets".

Because this shoot was successful I've started a series of "Larger than Life" portraits, all with the people and their scenery actually making a bit more sense than this test shoot. The next one should be hitting Flickr sometime next week...

Good selection this time around, my favourite is probably the deep impact one. But they're all good!

Thanks for including my shot. Mine was taken as I waited for the Sherbourne bus in Allan Gardens. I loved how the leaves were almost trimmed with colour. I assume it's because they got frost-bitten since the outside rim is crispy and dead.
It's interesting that just a couple of days later these same leaves are under snow.

Thank you so much for including "geared"! I had been checking out my rust-ridden bike when I realized the bevy of reds and oranges was actually quite beautiful!

thanks for including my photo!

development beautiful is part of my ongoing series of buildings going up and buildings coming down. what can i say, i like rubble.

The identi-condos in the photo are on Turntables Avenue (very cool street name), and on the site of General Electrics Davenport Works Factory that manufactured everything from uranium pellets to televisions. Allegedly it's safe to there although the soil was/is contaminated with trichloroethylene and PCB's...

I just started shooting the location during the last year or so, it will be interesting to see what goes on that spread of dirt.
