Each weekday morning, we pick a recent image from the Torontoist Flickr Pool and feature it here on the site. It’s our way to give the many excellent photographers in our pool the attention they deserve!

We love the look of this image taken by Redroom Studios at St. Lawrence Market. It was processed by blending 10 duplicate layers to achieve specific colour tones and texture was added for an aged look that harkens back to a time of slow food and motley crews of vegetables straight from a garden.
The postures of the vendor and purchaser evoke a calm morning of browsing and easy conversation, something not as easily found at the Market these days. But with over 20 farmers markets soon to be available within the GTA over the next couple of months, perhaps we’ll find that atmosphere again.
