Photograph by MIKE PALMER

Taken from a helicopter, we see a breathtaking view of downtown Toronto through the lens of photographer Mike Palmer. The aerial photo is part of a project entitled Born & Raised. Palmer gives himself a single day, from sunrise to sunset, to capture the streets, vibe, and culture of his (and the Sifter’s!) hometown of Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
From the fruit markets of Chinatown to vantage points high above the city, Mike gives the audience an intimate view of Toronto, combining still photography and motion picture.
