The Daily Photoist: it started to rain
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 this photo because it breaks all the supposed “rules” of photography — that a picture needs to be in focus, or that it needs to have a clear subject matter. Instead, Toronto photographer — jenny — (jenny p) presents us with this gorgeous impressionistic view of a city street. It’s painterly, mysterious, and poetic. She’s done a whole series of these images, taken from public transit through rain-soaked windows.
With weather forecasters predicting rain in the next few days, we hope images like these will remind us to look for some beauty in the street-soaking drizzle.
