Photographing the abandon Auto Building.

I photographed the abandon Auto building in Toronto 8 years ago on large format 4x5 film and a medium format digital Hasselblad camera.

Thanks for the channel. The tension created with the musical choice that accompanied the photographs really conveyed that "spooky" feeling for me. Great choice!

[@jimwlouavl]

What a neat story and creative urban planning. Thanks for sharing.

[@toddkorolphoto]

Indeed, thanks.

[@williamorford6966]

Excellent as usual Todd.

Thanks!

Nice.

This is cool as hell. I went to a rave at that building before the restoration, but I'd never seen it in its decayed state like you've shown.

[@toddkorolphoto]

That's great would have liked to have done that back in the day.

I got a chance to visit Tower Automotive while it was still empty and abandoned, I wish I had gotten more photos. Still need to check it out as the new museum!

[@toddkorolphoto]

Oh cool, very cool place, the new Museum is great, glad it's now in Toronto, I was just there last week. Cheers

Fantastic! So glad you were able to document the point in time before the building's rebirth. Thanks for sharing!

[@toddkorolphoto]

Thanks for watching, cheers!

[@fredsons2241]

That was good…….!

[@danielscheerer3032]

So cool - and what a great project to be hired to do! As much as I love photographing the exteriors of abandoned places, I hardly ever get inside, so I'm jealous! ;-) Cheers!

[@toddkorolphoto]

Thanks it was a very cool project.

spectacular photos!!!

[@toddkorolphoto]

Many thanks!

[@paulstillwell]

Fantastic photos! I performed in that neighborhood many times (electronic music) and was always curious about that building. I need to go back and check it (and the neighborhood) out again.
Also, the music you chose to go with the images was awesome! Who is that?
Thanks, as always, for your cool work!

[@toddkorolphoto]

Thank you. Yes it's a great part of the city. Music by Eden Avery and Rayo Z. That's what I was going for, and underground electronic vibe that suited the place, and a music that you might here in a video installation at a modern art museum, thanks for noticing. Cheers

Thank you so much!

You documented a nice piece by FATHOM at the 4:37 mark 👍

[@toddkorolphoto]

Nice, thanks for the info.

[@chriscard6544]

I wish my town would create such art center in the old chocolate factory, but they prefered to build expensive lofts for rich people

[@toddkorolphoto]

Money almost always wins...

[@paulstillwell]

The sad thing about this neighborhood is that the revitalizing of that building prompted rents in the area to go up in a crazy way. There were many artists who were forced to move out of their studios because they could no longer afford rent.

[@toddkorolphoto]

@@paulstillwell yes for sure. I photographed a lot of those artists at the time very sad. I am all for having places for artists to create. Unfortunately across the country rents are now crazy, this country has become very hard to live in.
