Or they could run a joke feature in the newspapers claiming that the general contracting company went bankrupt, forcing suspension of construction operations indefinitely. Then again, that might not generate very favourable PR.

I love walking along Wellesley east of Parliament just to soak up all the beautiful gardens; that residential stretch is among my favourite in the city. I haven't even seen the rest of Cabbagetown yet, but it's definitely on my list.

Actually, just a couple days ago there was a line supervisor at Queen and Spadina, and he was ushering all metropass/transfer passengers into the rear doors. Granted, that's the first time I've ever seen one on that route.

Flar, quick question. What kind of aperture setting did you use for this shot? I'm guessing it was closed down quite a bit because of the high depth of field. Just trying to get tips for making shots like this. Also, how reliable are the broad-range zooms (e.g. 18 - 200mm) at either extreme...

Flar, thanks so much for the tips (as well as the lovely sample photos). I will keep all this in mind as I continue my research..

I looked around for a thread about this but couldn't find one, so I thought I'd post the question. For all you veteran urban streetscape photographers out there, what kind of cameras/equipment do you use? I am saving up for an SLR and have been doing some preliminary research, but frankly I...

love this building - until I started walking by Massey College to and from work, I never really batted an eyelash. Although it may shun the street (then again, quite appropriately for harbouring a veritable "secret society" of sorts), it's a delightfully complex structure that incorporates...

It's reminiscent of what would happen if the east building were assimilated by a funky, more modern Borg.

I personally don't mind the light green tiles constituting St. Patrick Station. I think the colour is quite appropriate given the name of the station.

I can see all those little alcoves being a nightmare for teachers with school groups trying to keep tabs on the children (in a fit of juvenile immaturity, I managed to conceal myself from my girlfriend for a solid 3 minutes when we were there for the opening party).

Nah, it doesn't. I kinda realized that AFTER I rotated it :o

Traffic was stopped to leave that section of Jarvis adjacent to the site clear. It actually took a few tries to finally knock it down (and traffic was stopped on two occasions). The first time, the taller of the two demolition grapplers tried to go at it alone but couldn't topple the...

Indeed. I snapped a short video of the fatal blow and ensuing destruction to the building from my fifth-storey window yesterday. Pardon the scene suddenly falling over on its side midway-through; it didn't occur to me that one can't simply rotate the computer monitor as easily as one can a...

My highlights were the Elgin & Winter Garden Theatres (excellent tourguides, although it felt a tad rushed) and the Carlu. In fact, I expected either an indifferent or a lukewarm response from my girlfriend to the Carlu; turns out she wants to get married there, and within several hours after...
