Billboard

Dundas Square is Toronto's answer to Times Square with many advertising billboards. It is also site for outdoor concerts and festivals. It was a place for protests and demonstrations, until the authorities decided that in the name of Democracy, protests are only permitted for approved causes and for freedoms in countries far away. I was crossing the square, when the billboard above flooded the place with colour on otherwise grey drizzly day. The square was not always there. It opened in 2002 in effort to revitalize the area. To be honest, I should, but do not remember what was there before.

Times Square. Arguably New York City's most crowded outdoor place. And rightfully so, as when you stand at any spot on that square your eyes are overwhelmed by the amount of light and information around you. A ton of billboards advertising anything that your mind can think of. And then you feel so small being surrounded by all these high rises. So much energy and vibe on this square. Even if it's 2.00 in the morning, there will be a ton of people wandering around and taking pictures. Maybe that's why they say New York is the city that never sleeps.

A billboard at the corner of Seventh Avenue and 42nd St. just outside of Times Square. There was something about the red truck and the girl that struck me as the photo to post of the ones I took. And I’ve always loved the question “what if?”
Photo taken somewhere around the early 1980s. Film is Tri-X. I didn't keep very good records then so I don't know the exact date or the exact camera. It was either a Pentax ME or a Nikon FM. Those were the 2 I owned at the time.
This billboard seemed to be all aflutter with a wee bit of a sparkled from the diamond in the ring... one of the most delicate billboard images I've ever seen in... don't have a clue tho, who it represents.. must be a diamond jeweler in the city...
At the bustling intersection of Yonge and Dundas, a sea of pedestrians surges across the crosswalk, each person a fleeting story in motion. Towering buildings loom above, their facades plastered with vibrant ads and digital billboards that pulse with urban energy. Amid the visual noise, windows punctuate the architecture. These windows, both literal and metaphorical, offer glimpses into the city’s rhythm: a marketplace of attention, a canvas of consumption, and a mirror to modern life.
À l’intersection animée de Yonge et Dundas, une foule de piétons traverse la rue, chacun portant une histoire en mouvement. De hauts immeubles dominent la scène, leurs façades couvertes de publicités colorées et d’écrans numériques vibrant au rythme de la ville. Au milieu de ce bruit visuel, des fenêtres ponctuent l’architecture. Ces fenêtres, à la fois réelles et métaphoriques, offrent des aperçus du rythme urbain : un marché de l’attention, une toile de la consommation, et un miroir de la vie moderne.
The temporary camaraderie of these "plywood men" will only last the duration of the billboard campaign.
An Indian casino 60 miles away advertises the tribe's environmental awareness in Chinatown, home to lots of casino goers.
A CSX local powered by an SD40-2 from Charleston's Bennett Yard heads towards the Peninsula. That the Billboard is not what it seems is coincidental.

Shot in Soho in Manhattan. Billboard posters like these can seen in many parts of the city esp in Manhattan.Many Manhattanites don't approve of them because they block their view of the street. Others find them distasteful and offensive because some of them border on pornography,esp the Calvin Klein ones,as far as they're concerned and they don't want their children being exposed to them.Some landlords however like them because they promote business.
