Alleys are the behind-the-scenes part of cities. Sometimes dark and threatening, sometimes gritty and damaged, but also sometimes strangely peaceful. Whatever their character, that back-to-front character requires that the traveler along an alley make a deliberate choice. They are the urban version of the road less traveled. In this sketchbook, Michael Cho has made that choice, to explore, practice his art and to document the back alleys and less-traveled parts of Toronto.
