The Bare Truth About Being Naked in the City Lights! Camera! Activism? Toronto is full of liberal minded people; someone's always pushing the "norm" or trying to shift any law that infringes upon personal rights. Whether it is the pursuit of gay marriage, legalization of marijuana or freedom of expression there is always some form of social movement attempting to bring about change. But what about nudity on the streets? How do Torontonians feel about baring it all? A photographer from Liberty Village recently held nude a photo shoot in and around the streets of Liberty Village.Naturism in TorontoNaturism...
