Nuit Blanche, Vistek Love, the CN Tower and Gear

Nuit Blanche is a photographers playground, thousands of people, interactive art, massive installations and the city at night as a backdrop - it just doesn't get much better.  Since 2006 (in Toronto), thousands of photographers have flocked to downtown Toronto to capture something awesome from Nuit Blanche.
