Jeff Chapman may have passed away in 2005, but Pete Forde is keeping his legacy of urban infiltration alive. Inspired by a Torontoist article on the deserted Canadian Domain Ride at the Toronto Zoo, Forde and two friends who wish to remain anonymous trekked from one end of the line to the other. An amateur photographer, Forde has decided to document the ongoing journey for a project he's titled 40 Days on the Monorail. Every weekday, he uploads a new picture portraying the rail line in a different way. The pictures are stunning: Forde captures the sense of dereliction through a combination of Polaroids, digital and analog shots, and an awesome video. He wants to showcase an aspect of the city that isn’t—and shouldn’t be—accessible to everyone, sharing the wonder he feels without promoting it as an alt-tourist destination.
