The blogTO Flickr Forum is a weekly sampling of themed photographs taken by Torontonians and aims to not only feature the talent they possess, but also spur dialogue and reveal the stories behind the images.

Today's collection of Toronto photographs is made up of responses to our call for photos that fit the theme "PORTRAIT". These images were all recently submitted to the blogTO Flickr pool.

To the photographers: we'd love to hear about your photos. A little info on where it was taken and the story behind the photo is always a great start.

To the rest of you, feel free to ask questions to the artists, submit photos to the blogTO Flickr pool for next week's consideration, or just sit back and enjoy our weekly mosaic.

I also really liked this shot by imarcano.

With a looming transit strike, how about "TRANSIT" as a theme. We're looking for TTC shots, strike shots, stuck in rush hour shots and every possible creative interpretation you can think of. They keep telling us the TTC it's worth a million, show us what do you think!

We're looking forward to featuring some of your images again, on April 25th.

To be considered for next week's selections:
- In Flickr, add the tag "TRANSIT"
- Add to the blogTO Flickr pool
- If you have a photo already in the pool, and you would like it to be considered, remove the photo from the pool and re-add it. Only photos added in the past week will be considered.

If you have a theme suggestion, feel free to leave a comment.
