Flickr Forum
Flickr Forum - November 23rd, 2007 - ONE
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 "ONE". 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.

This photo was taken two days after the first snow fell on Toronto. I went out to the new Canadian Tire on Leslie and Lakeshore. I took the camera with me seeing the sky had a beautiful texture of grays and blues. I had no particular place in mind to go to so I headed to Cherry Beach which isn't too far. I know this lifeguard station had been photographed a thousand times. It was the snow that I wanted to take a photo of so I put the station higher on the left side. The clouds were a nice addition and completes the scene. I changed the white balance in PS and voila!! It would have been called winter blues if I made the WB cooler.
Thanks again for getting noticed.
The hawk (not falcon, as I'd thought) ran into the window of our building, and sat on the ledge for over an hour. I took some shots, but unfortunately, the light and the reflection of the window made it difficult to get a good shot. I was pretty happy with this one, though, especially when I converted it to B&W.
This photo was taken on Queen street somewhere near the St.Lawrence market. I love taking pictures of people, but not in the studio. Toronto provides many interesting backgrounds, and I am in constant search for them :)
This was my first Method Man show and my first time shooting a show with a wide angle lens. The crowd was pretty enthusiastic, if not a little stoned. And Meth pranced about on stage like a little kid. I tried to capture the energy between the performer and crowd here.
