Flickr Forum: March 14th, 2008 - Vanishing Point
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 "VANISHING POINT". These images were all recently submitted to the blogTO Flickr pool.
If you photographers like being featured on blogTO, then you're going to love this new call for submissions! Check out Tim's Flickr Pool post about submitting your photos to Contacting Toronto.
Continue for links to larger versions, and to check out the next theme.
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.

The next theme is "TEXTURE", and as always, is open to creative interpretation. We're looking forward to featuring some of your images again, on March 21st.
To be considered for next week's selections:
- In Flickr, add the tag "texture"
- 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.

Now about the photo. It's just a different take of a place which has been photographed by many before. So for those who do not recognize where this was taken, this is the Skywalk pedestrian walkway connecting Union Station to the CN Tower. I have no real profound insight as to the story behind the photo other than I was on my way home from the Canadian International Autoshow and this section of the skyway caught my eye. I've walked through it many times before but it seemed different this time and I somehow was just mesmerized by the top half; hence that's the image I photographed.
I have been trying to feel good about this year's endless snow by taking a lot of photographs. This one was taken in Allen Gardens. There was an old guy feeding pigeons just out of frame to the right, so there was a lot of serendipitous bird activity.
My photo, Toronto Islands (15), is part of a set of images from a photo-expedition to the Islands during one of our seemingly unending series of snowstorms. I went there early on a weekday when I knew it would be free of people and I could concentrate on capturing the silence and emptiness that accompany such cold winter weather.
I am drawn to the soiltude & coldness of the season and many of my themes revolve around harsh temperture conditions.
I hope all have a wonderful weekend.
This was shot as I made by bleary way into work one morning and I noticed the seemingly infinite and empty sidewalk stretching off into the fog in front of me. The scene matched my anticipation of another seemingly infinite and foggy day at work :)
My photo is number 6 in the set for this week. I took this photo while looking for security cameras which was part of my subject for a photo exhibition i was doing. This photo is between two buildings with utility pipes running through the space. i liked the bright color of the yellow pipe contrasting to the overall dark space. the buildings are located on emily st. just off of king. http://maps.google.ca/maps?hl=en&;ie=UTF8&ll=43.646611,-79.385104&spn=0.002768,0.004989&t=h&z=18
