Daily Dose of Imagery

2 comments

Maybe I'm the last person in Toronto to know about this, but Sam Javanrough's Daily Dose of Imagery is an absolutely incredible photoblog in the city. I was actually in BCE Place for the first time today and was going to make a post encouraging anyone who visits the city to take a quick walk though the beautiful atrium there, and when I was looking for an image to go with the post I discovered the Daily Dose.

Apparently Javanrough, who is art director at Optix, has been publishing his photos on the site since July of 2003 and the archives are filled with incredible imagery largely from Toronto but also from France, Iran, and all sorts of other places. Some of my favourites include today's image of Union Station (which I happened to pass through today as well), a yellow streetcar, and this shot of the entrance to a building. The entire archive is worth going through if you have the time. There is also an RSS feed to truly get your daily dose.

Well, the last to know in Toronto and possibly the last to know on the Internet. According to Photoblogs.org, the Daily Dose is ranked number 2 as all time favourites.

Daniel Burka

My name is Daniel Burka. I'm a web designer living in San Francisco. Currently, I'm one of the founders of Milk Inc.. For several years I was the creative director at Digg and previous to Milk, I was the director of design at Tiny Speck. I grew up in PEI, Canada, where I was one of the founders of silverorange. Aside from obsessing about interface design and css selectors, I'm a frequently-falling rock climber, a lazy cyclist, and an often out-of-bounds disc golfer.

Summary

I'm a web designer living in San Francisco, California. I sometimes get the chance to present lectures and workshops at conferences around the world, where I speak about iterative design strategies, designing for large online communities, and more broadly about interface design for web applications. I've posted many of the slides from past presentations I've done on Slideshare.

Currently, I'm the director of design at a small gaming startup called Tiny Speck. Until October 2009, I was the creative director at Digg. I was also one of the co-founders of the social content-sharing site Pownce, which is now a part (heh heh) of Six Apart. Back in 1999, I helped found silverorange, a stellar web development and design firm based in Prince Edward Island, Canada. I continue to work with silverorange, but as an inactive partner.
