About Toronto: Street
Hi there. This is a moderately curated pool of street photographs taken in the Greater Toronto Area. If you submit a photo taken outside of the GTA and it ends up in the pool, then shame on you. Is the rest of your life a lie as well?
Guidelines Photographs don't literally have to be taken on the street… but they should be street photographs. Your image captures a curious or interesting moment of sub/urban life in Toronto. Take a look at the group pool.
Types of photos that wil most likely be rejected from the pool
- photos of street performers like the silver Elvis on Queen outside the Eaton Centre. Or the guys that play the drums at Yonge & Dundas
- photos of homeless people
- photos of the CN Tower and other tourist attractions
- candids snapped with an 85mm lens
- anything HDR
- cat photos

We're going to be small to start but hopefully we'll grow. With any luck, a loose collective of Toronto based street photographers will emerge. Cheers.
