"Toronto is lucky enough to have an active community of quality photo
bloggers recognized the world over, who are making our often humdrum
city seem utterly extraordinary. And Whippersnapper Gallery is
welcoming the crème de la crème: Sam Javanrouh of Daily Dose of
Imagery, whose picture-a-day project has an international audience of
tens of thousands; Rannie Turingan of Photo junkie, whose chatty page
corrals a wide variety of local shutterbugs; stylish portraitists
Istoica, a.k.a. Chris Altorf and Jessica Hayes; and Inconduit's Adam
Krawesky, a self-described "pedestrian first and photographer second."
As much a sculptural installation as a collection of photographs,
Krawesky's offering gathers together hundreds of miniature prints to
form a constellation of Toronto's colourful denizens. One of them,
Clockwork, is a composite, taken over half an hour, of various workers
crossing the four corners of Bay and Wellesley. It illustrates
perfectly the conceptual possibilities within the photo blogger's eye,
which, provided it's sharp and sedulous enough, can transform even the
most fleeting of urban gestures into haunting, painterly tableaux."
