Eaton Centre, Toronto

Eaton Centre, Toronto
Toronto Eaton Centre is a shopping mall in downtown Toronto that is a major tourist attraction.

The geese are a sculpture by Michael Snow called "Flight Stop". It consists of photographs of a goose over fibreglass and styrofoam cores. This is a re-edit of an old post that I deleted when the site seemed to be about to close. More photos of the Eaton Centre will be coming; I have created an album for them.

Since artistic copyright is a popular issue these days, I'll mention that in 1981 Snow sued the Eaton Centre when it put ribbons on the birds' necks for Christmas. He had to prove prejudice to his honour or reputation, and he won the suit. Since then the Canadian Copyright Act has been amended so that any modification to a painting, sculpture, or engraving is always considered prejudicial.

Well, I didn't think there was a particularly valid point in drawing a mustache on the Mona Lisa just to be doing it, but protecting all art by law??? Like, which of our recent presidents was threatening to sue Saturday Night Live for making fun of him? Oh, well.

I remember this one from "that other site." Fantastic shot.

The one thing I do miss that Flickr had was the ability to tag people. As in "hey @JohnFitzGerald, did you see the traffic cone photo I posted just for you :-) "

Thanks, Keith. Yes, I don't think they'd let Coca-Cola insert a can into Jesus's hands in Bruegel's "Adoration of the Kings".
