All you need is a camera and a curiosity for the city. 

Join us for a photography adventure, as we explore the city through our pictures, neighbourhood walking tours and conversations. 

September 7 - 16, independent photography adventures - go out and take pictures of how you see your city. We will send you a theme every day to help you get inspired to look at our city and to show your perspectives. 

Throughout Through My Lens, we will be hosting neighbourhood walking tours for more opportunities to meet photographers and to take a second look at our city. 

We will be collecting your images and they will go on our Nuit Blanche exhibit in Parkdale. We want to know how the community sees the city. What do you focus on? What will grow? 

Join us for 1 day or all 10 days, we want to see your pictures! 

More information when you sign up, themes for photography adventures, dates and times for neighbourhood walking tours and how to send your pictures to us for Through My Lens will be sent via email.

Bringing city building to the streets - everyone is invited to participate in capturing their perspective and stories about living in the city!  An interactive, community based project which seeks to encourage action, inspiration and bring personal stories of the city to life. What is your favourite part of Toronto? What do you see in your day to day? How do you move through the city? What do you seek to change?  If you were in charge of changing the city landscape, what would you do?

Through My Lens is a 10 day (September 7 - 16), multi-city, interactive photo-voices project to bring out stories to lead to community action. Through My Lens only happens when people become involved. Through volunteer led neighbourhood walks, self-guided photography adventures and pure curiosity, we imagine that Through My Lens will ignite a new way to look at our spaces and to re-imagine what the city could be. 

Leitmotif Project - Parkdale's Nuit Blanche project (October 1)  will be taking the Through My Lens images to the streets, literally! The exhibit is an interactive community based dialogue of images, stories and people connecting with the city; in a rental truck, on pedestrians, on buildings, on sidewalks, on anything we can get our hands on. We will be collecting stories all night to showcase stories of city building and designing new ideas. Come visit us at our exhibit and make your mark on the city. The intersection of Queen Street West and Dowling Avenue will be animated throughout the night with images, scrawls, scribbles and laughter. Together, we can make an impact on the city.
