Toronto Snapshots 2010-2011

Posts

My first smartphone was an Apple iPhone 3GS purchased sometime in 2010 and used into 2011. I seldom shot any photos with it because the output quality was so grainy and colors were smeared into oblivion (hence rendering here in black-and-white), but here are a few I kept around for posterity. Almost all were shot in Toronto, with one taken north of the city at Harvest Festival.

I am a web application developer, photojournalist, urban explorer, and history enthusiast passionate about the open web and documenting my experiences on this planet. This project was founded in the early 2010s and has evolved into a sort of personal Wikipedia of places that interest me (and often the photographs I’ve taken there). I’m originally from Toronto, Canada, but spend most of my time residing in Taiwan.
