Flickr Forum: July 4th, 2008 - Pride
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 "PRIDE". 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.

The next theme is "Harbourfront" - and as always, is open to creative interpretation. We're looking forward to featuring some of your images again, on July 4th.

To be considered for next week's selections:
- In Flickr, add the tag "Harbourfront"
- 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.

I guess I'll start this discussion off then...I took photos #1 (White Punks on Dope) and #12 (Mel C). Both were taken at the Wellesley stage on Saturday night.

#1 - This girl was one of the backup dancers for the amazing, energetice White Punks on Dope show, fronted by local DJ Dwayne Minard. Part of the show included some fantastic old-school break-dancing and this girl really knew how to move. As well as a great look she also had some great 'tude and I really wanted to shoot her up close and capture that whole look in her face.

#12 - Mel C really knows how to play to the camera and this was one of those shots you just wait for - where they look right at you for one split second. Just one click and it was gone. Perfect!

Thanks for including me in this great group of images.

My pic of Mayor Miller's lipstick marks, courtesy of Enza, is evidence of the first action he's gotten since he took over the mayor's office.
