I am not a famous online photographer. I merely post photographs online. Sam Javanrouh, however, is.
And this is what he looks like.
Or what the back of him looks like.
If the more famous you get the more hirsute you get, there’s hope for me yet. I’m about halfway there.
I met Sam at one of the Spacer events, held, curiously, on the border of Riverside. I enjoyed many of the exhibited photos of the Toronto transit system, particularly Sam’s, Liz Clayton’s, and Chris “NOT THE DJ” Shepherd’s.
On the way in, some guy taking a drag from his fag looked right at us and said to his companion, “Is that him?” Why – why, yes. Yes, that was the Free City of Leslieville’s architecture critic. You couldn’t say hello?
