Canzine Toronto Vendors: DAYTRIP

In the summer of 2014, photographers Erich Deleeuw, Andrew Savery-Whiteway and Matthew Volpe came together to form the DAYTRIP collective. Bringing their varied visual practices together into a singular lens, their self-published bi-yearly publication is centred around documenting the Canadian cultural landscape.

Their second issue After Frank is an homage to The Americans, a photographic book by the eminent street photographer Robert Frank. After Frank is a poetic visual archive of Canadiana in all its kitsch, detritus and natural splendour, as the DAYTRIP boys drive from Toronto to Mabou, Nova Scotia in an attempt to find the reclusive Frank.

They are currently working on their first submission-based project, a choose-your-own-adventure zine set to release next year.
