While the banality of blogs is now widely agreed upon, photo blogs—the best of them, anyway—continue to hold a certain charm. 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 Photo­junkie, 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.

Artwork $1–$500. Dec. 6 to 23. Whippersnapper Gallery, 587A College St., www.whippersnapper.ca.
