Synopsis
For over thirty years, Patrick Cummins has been wandering the streets of Toronto, taking mugshots of its houses, variety stores, garages, and ever-changing storefronts. Straightforward shots chronicle the same buildings over the years, or travel the length of a block, facade by facade. Other sections collect vintage Coke signs on variety stores or garage graffiti.
Full Frontal T.O. features over three hundred gorgeous photos of Toronto's messy urbanism, with accompanying text by master urban explorer Shawn Micallef.
Patrick Cummins has photographed Toronto's built environment since 1978 and has worked as an archivist in Toronto since 1986.
Shawn Micallef is the author of Stroll: Psychogeographic Walking Tours of Toronto and a senior editor at Spacing magazine.

Review
'As Toronto grows into a more mature, more compelling city, a new group of non-academic, street-smart urbanists has emerged to appreciate it – with-it young writers, architects and men and women about town who love big cities and see things in Toronto that most of us miss. Shawn Micallef is one of the sharpest of this sharp-eyed breed.' – Globe and Mail
'For the past six years, Micallef ... has become Toronto's unofficial tour guide, the flaneur of Hogtown.' – National Post

Full Frontal T.O.
Seller: BOOKS AND COMPANY LTD., Picton, ON, Canada
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Soft cover. Condition: As New. A beautiful photographic tribute to the unsung, everyday architecture that makes Toronto what it is. Patrick Cummings spent more than thirty years taking "mugshots" of the various buildings populating Toronto's streets and neighbourhoods. Various sections collect together photographs of similar types of buildings, such as convenience stores and garages while others are devoted to particular architectural styles from the various periods of the city's history. Of special interest are the combined photos of the same house prior to an after renovation. With an introduction and accompanying text by freelance Toronto Star contributing columnist Shawn Micallef, this book provides a fascinating pictorial account of Toronto's architectural history.
