Here's another sweet reason to get an iPhone (aside from it soon being able to copy and paste!): easy panoramas. Photojunkie, née Rannie Turingan, has spent the past week and a half gallivanting around the city, shooting streetscapes, subwayscapes, and skylines with the sadly-$9.99 Panorama application for Apple's phone. You can see plenty more photos (and all of those above way, way larger) in Turingan's Panoramas set on Flickr.

A little more of the renovation of Museum subway station has been revealed, showing oddly contrasting purple columns and white moulded volutes. (See also Rannie Turingan's video taken from a train pulling into Museum station.) Still under wraps until the official unveiling in April are the individual column designs themselves.

On Sunday night, Team Bloggers kicked some cab driver and celebrity impersonator ass on CBC's Test the Nation: Trivia. The evening ended with the cleanest sweep in quiz show history: bloggers had the best team score with an average of 50; team captain Samantha Bee had the highest score of all the Canadian celebs; teammate Rick Spence had the top in-studio score of 57.

The Too-Explicit Injustice of Kind Population! is: a) a popular Engrish t-shirt slogan in Tokyo b) a Sufjan Stevens hidden track c) the title of this month's photo blog show at the Whippersnapper Gallery If you guessed "c," many hand claps and cheers! You've just won yourself admission* to the opening reception of this must-see exhibition featuring Toronto's top photo bloggers: Sam Javanrouh, Chris Altorf and Jessica Hayes, Adam Hool, and Rannie Turingan.

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!

The Art Gallery of Ontario's latest exhibition features the work of two photographers: Alfred Eisenstaedt and Ansel Adams. In the early 20th century, both photographers were pushing the limits of their craft -- though in opposite directions. Eisenstaedt took to the streets and snapped people in cities, while Adams sought out wild landscapes and untouched mountain passes. The AGO's special exhibition fills three large rooms with B&W images, most of them from the 1930's and '40's, when both photographers were honing their skills.

Toronto's annual Zombie Walk is today, and in case you're wondering, the event is rain or shine: "Rain has not been known to kill zombies, and their motor functions are usually good enough to hold an umbrella. The Undead will Spread come rain or shine." Torontoist wants to remind you of the hilarity last year when the horde of brains-hungry zombies crashed an anti-violence rally at Dundas Square and the DJ dropped "Thriller".

The Contact Photo festival is always a little bit overwhelming and we're always glad that the events span the entire month of May. That being said after a couple of hours perusing the 128-page guide there are a few shows we're looking forward to.

A few reasons why you should check out In Transit, opening tonight at the Toronto Free Gallery (660 Queen St. E.)

A handful of terrific TO photobloggers will be at the Yorkdale Apple Store tonight at 7pm to show their work and chat. It'll be a good time, and you'll finally get to check out Apple's 'genius bar,' so get yourselves there.

Eli Singer, of Singer.TO, signs on to a lifetime of hyperlinks and inspired comments from Billonlogan today, as we launch his weekly feature, Tech Tune-Up. Today, Flickry photographers. Tomorrow, the world:

The Tall Poppy Interview - Rannie Turingan, Photojunkie

And tomorrow a show featuring work by both Rannie and Sam, and a handful of other awesome local shootfromthehippers, will open for a five week run at the Toronto Free Gallery. The exhibit is all about "examining Toronto's urban landscape and public spaces as captured by the city's top photobloggers," and there's a launch party on Thursday too.

Spacing Mag launches its third issue tonight, with a par-tay at the El Mocambo. Audio by Reid Jamieson and Audible. Work and Play in Public Space is the name of the issue, and it'll be available round town following the launch. Torontoist is particularly interested in the mag's new public space etiquette column, 'Ask the Manners Duck.' If only we didn't have to 'duck' every time an absentminded, umbrella-wielding spacehog shared the sidewalk. The issue also includes a spread by the city's top photobloggers, pics by the likes of TO talents Rannie Turingan, Sam Javanrouh, Matt O'Sullivan, Jonathan Day-Reiner and Davin Risk. Ergo, you'd best elbow your way to the Elmo.
