Maybe all these cultural festivals in Toronto aren't your cup of tea, but with the summer season nearing a close the best may very well have been saved for last. The Festival of South Asia held on Gerrard Street East (between Greenwood and Coxwell Avenue) starts this Saturday at 2 p.m. and continues through to Sunday. With a short list of sponsors and a couple of them companies that actually sell Indian products, this... [continue]

The Daily Photoist: 14 on August 9, 2007

Every weekday, we pick an 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! The focus on the cyclist drew us to this photo by Jay Morrison. We really like the snippet of city life that it offers via such a narrow sight, and our curiousity is piqued by what may lie behind the enclosing... [continue]

After running around a city in sweltering heat, the intense colours inking the sky during a sunset can bring a sensation of calm. In this photo by Metrix X, the horizon melds into the intense orange and gives the impression of... [continue]

The Daily Photoist: Notes on July 31, 2007

Every weekday, we pick an 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! An astute sense of composition is often used in room929's minimalist and abstract photos to greatly enhance their impact. The CN Tower needle is cut across by electrical wires at nearly all the gradations in this photo to offer a somewhat... [continue]

Every weekday, we pick an 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 are absolutely in love with this photo by ayndroid. The wisps of clouds curling towards the peak of the pile, defined streaks of shiny folded plastic, and deep blue hues give it a dreamy quality reminiscent of the Impressionist painting... [continue]

Every weekday, we pick an 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! A decade ago the puffy shirt certainly wouldn't have registered in the fashion world. But with pirates everywhere and popular culture often inspiring the clothing we wear, it seems inevitable that it would sneak in. The themed outfit of the modern... [continue]

Photos by Vanessa Toye. Only three more people are ahead and the potent curry aromas are teasing everyone to keep waiting it out. The entire event has been spent standing in this line, two hours for a dosa, to try one of the foods at the Toronto Street Treats Event. Thankfully, satellite foodies circled around to other lines and snapped up a variety of dishes for Torontoist to eat that were quickly disappearing into... [continue]

Other than the obviously awesome perspective, there are a few other parts of this photo by UrticaDioica that really makes us take notice.

A photographer's roving eye can easily capture a quick movement, find a beautiful composition, and even a uh...interesting position at the macro level, such as this one caught by gardinergirl. While one insect is busily working away at the contents of... [continue]
