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 "B&W". 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.

9. Subway Train by redkulas

The next theme is "MUSIC", and as always, is open to creative interpretation. We're looking forward to featuring some of your images again, on March 7th.

To be considered for next week's selections:
- In Flickr, add the tag "music"
- Add to the blogTO Flickr pool
- If you have a photo already in the pool, and you would like it to be considered, remove the photo from the pool and re-add it. Only photos added in the past week will be considered.

If you have a theme suggestion, feel free to leave a comment.

Many thanks to MikeR & BlogTO for inclusion in this week's Flickr Forum.

My photo "Alone" is an expermential work that I played around with for awhile. I wanted to capture some stark emotion. The use of B & W, with the subject nude (yet not really showing anything), seemed to convey the grittiness I sought to express.

The set up was a bit dicey....the hallway of an apartment building, but I knew the surrounding tenents were gone for the day.

A good weekend to all.

Your photo is inspired, HighPlainsDrifter, and is great as the centerpiece here. But it's the title of #8 that I really love.
