On August 19th we welcomed 10 lucky people for our first #emptyROM tour. The concept is not new, but new to Toronto.

One of the photogrpahers that took part was Jamaal Merrick, better known as @jamaalism on Twitter and Instagram.

Jamaal sent us five of his photos from the tour, we'll let them speak for themselves below!
