 phoenix |  April 11th, 2004Attended an orchid show at the Chinese Culture Centre. I was hoping I can take a lot of photographs but in the end it was disappointing. Didn’t take too may photos because the way they are displayed, they are all bunched tightly together making isolation of the flower very hard. And they all displayed too close to the wall making it really hard to produce a nice black background. So in the end I only have a couple of shot to show for.

The down side of course is that at home there’s not a lot of exotic flowers to shoot. But one does not needs to be exotic to be beautify. The spring is here and this is the first blossom of the spring in the house — A African Violet.

It’s a good time to do some architecture shots because it’s Sunday and the business district is finally empty of all the people. The two shots below are the fruit of the labour today. This is Allen Lambert Galleria or “crystal cathedral of commerce”, which is located at the BCE Place. The roof structure is designed by Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava. The roof is 130 meters long and 27 meters high with only 9 arches going up to support the roof. As the arches goes up they split into two and the further up split into two again making that a 36 sections on the top. The top is then covered with glass to utilize the natural light. This must be one of the sexiest roof that I’ve ever seen.

Drove down to the bluffs while it was still black, waited there for a long time on this chilly winter morning to capture the magic when the sun peaks over the rocks. It was wonderful, some Canada Geese flew by and created just the perfect shot. The shot below is a panoramic shot that was stitched together with 3 horizontal photos.

There are a few interesting ones although not all the good looking ones produces a good photo because the way they are displayed sometimes making it hard for me to produce a good background especially when I want to make a pure black background with my flash. These orchid flowers are actually quiet small, about 2 cm across, and not being paid much attention. I took a shot because I thought they looked like plum flowers. Howerver, after I got home, it seems the flower resembles somewhat a winged angel offering a gift.
