Dayanim, Feature Fiesta

This first set of photos is from the Museum of Illusions, an interactive tourist attraction in Toronto.

This second set of photos explores photography and tourism. I thought it would be an interesting street photo project to take pictures of people taking pictures. The first photo is from Niagara Falls, and the rest are from DC the past couple weeks.

The next four pictures are from the cherry blossom festival in DC. I wanted to capture some classic sites as well as how much traffic the festival caused.

This last set of photos is from Graffiti Alley, a public art exhibit and project in downtown Toronto. Some of the graffiti is very lighthearted, and some is very poignant.
