Convocation Hall, Toronto 2009
Photographed at The University of Toronto. Convocation Hall is a famous historic hall that holds concerts, lectures and U of T's graduation. Photographically I was interested in the large piers and the beautiful wooden doors. The doors had reflections of the trees off in the distance. I changed the image to Black and White and then toned the doors and windows back to their original colour, because of their brilliance and the resulting contrast with the other parts of the stone structure.
Photography and Architectural Simplicity By Randy Romano Architectural design has always been a way for man to triumph over nature's 足harshest elements. Its initial roots were largely to provide practical shelters and places of 足worship where people could be safe and comfortable. However, architectural designs soon gained a greater complexity, providing cultures with buildings that reflected the greatness and creativity of our civilization. Technology and creative innovation worked hand in hand to create long standing buildings that have stood the tides of time.
