The Daily Photoist: There Is Light
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!
Over the past few years, it seems that The Brickworks are the new Whitby Psych Hospital (now torn down) for urban exploring photographers — just about everyone’s done it, and it’s now turned into a bit of a cliche. We thought we’d seen every detailed angle and nook, but then came across ~EvidencE~’s shot in our Flickr pool, and were surprised with how refreshingly different it is. It was taken inside one of the oven tunnels, which seems apt, given the warm treatment of it. The photographer used tealights down the middle and a long exposure to get the full light effect. Kudos for originality.
Rumour has it that The Brickworks will soon be open to the public, which makes us wonder — what will be the next Brickworks for photographers in the city?
