Photo of the day... “IT”
Distillery District, Toronto, Canada

“IT” is an artwork installation by Michael Christian located within the Distillery District. It is a 40 foot tall, "spider-like" statue originally created for the Burning Man festival, where people could go to the top to view the horizon.

You will find plenty of meaningful public art pieces throughout the area, but this one is, perhaps the most interesting. Due to its size, shape and many different possible backdrops, it can be photographed many different ways.

I went for the dramatic, life-like alien, looking over its shoulder, people stomping, "War of the Worlds" feel for my photo. I think I nailed it!

The juxtaposition of the wavy subject against the backdrop of those very linear buildings is brilliant!
