The Star interviewed the four women and nine men whose photographs were chosen to fill the pages of the MYTORONTO calendar and grace the cover.
Disposable cameras had been given to 100 people and those 13 photographs were chosen from more than 2,400, after two rigorous rounds of judging and debate.
Both the contestants and the images they produced were colourful, complicated, joyful, thoughtful and almost wildly diverse. The common thread binding the photographers was that during one time in their lives they had been without a place to call home.
During the actual contest most participants were in permanent housing, or well on their way. Each of their winning images has a story and all of them have a message they hope the people who view their photos can take away.
