According to LIFE Magazine, Toronto has joined the ranks of Barcelona, New York City, Tokyo, and 6 other large cities as the most photographed in the world. LIFE’s process was not particularly scientific, but still telling, in that it appears that the stats come from casual or amateur photographers and not necessarily from any corporate-sponsored initiative:

A glance at the list of Flickr’s all time most popular tags reveals that a handful of cities are consistantly photographed by the users of the popular photo hosting site.

Kudos, shutterbugs!
