rfmcdonaldJonathan Forani's Toronto Star article pointed me towards
McCabe's website is full of his work. I admire the scope of this project, quite a lot.
Toronto’s 2,433 laneways span hundreds of kilometers. One photographer wants to shoot ’em all. Meet Owen McCabe, 28-year-old city planner and hobbyist photographer. Follow his laneway project on Instagram: @owenmccabe.
McCabe moved to Toronto in 2012 and began his laneway project as an introduction to his new home. “It was really just a way — when I was trying to get to know the city a little better — to give me a purpose, to get out there and see different parts of it,” he says.
He’s shot 189 laneways and counting, but he doesn’t have a favourite. “I should have an answer by now,” he laughs, “but it’s more so the totality of them and the role they play in the city” that excites him.
McCabe knows his limits. It’s taken a few years to build a catalogue closing in on 200 laneways. It could take decades to finish at that rate. Join his project using the #torontolaneways hashtag on Instagram and see his work online.
