For his latest project, Posterchild (Torontoist fave, and, yeah, Torontoist staffer) bought five dollar-store disposable cameras and stuck them to walls along Queen Street West and College Street inside homemade boxes he'd painted "Take A Photo, Leave A Photo" onto. Torontonians took care of the former half of the instructions by taking photos of themselves and their friends, and, weeks later, Post fulfilled the latter—with the three boxes that hadn't been stolen—by developing the film, framing the photographs, and mounting them on the same walls they were shot from. Genius.

Poster is an amazing street artist. He is extremely innovative and imaginative, whether its urban flowers or plaster molds he never cease to amaze.Props to pc
A friend of mine told me he read an article about modifing a disposible camera to work as a video recorder, as well as a 2 shot taser.
Not an entirely original idea:

But the follow through to put the photos back where they were taken is a nice touch.
Yep, gotta agree with Stay. Awesome struff even if it aint original. Hell, ideas are a dime a dozen, its the follow through whot separates the artists from the..uh..idea men..?
evan if the plug did it first, pc definitely made it his own the idea by improving the method of capturing stranger photos
PC single handedly makes this city more livable.
