Photographers in the Sewer

An interesting article in the Toronto Star today that's gotten lots of play. Two photographers were arrested in the west end for walking around in the sewer system. Insert your own photography joke but they're actually a couple of 'urban explorers', that is guys who check out abandoned buildings and infrastructure like tunnels and, well, um, sewers.

I actually learned by accident years ago that Toronto is pretty much considered the urban explorer capitol of the world. The craze was started by the late Jeff Chapman (AKA Ninjalicious) who published the underground and online magazine Infiltration. It's pretty a fascinating pursuit actually. Personally though my idea of exploration is trying to find stuff in my closet. That's exciting enough for me.
