The lines of a building change so drastically from the street depending on the angle at which they are viewed. The angle working with the light cascading down plays such an important part in capturing the drama of a large building. I seem to spend far more time chasing light or waiting for light then anything else. Frequently I will wait for an hour or more for the ideal lighting conditions to appear and many times the wait is for nothing as the desired conditions never play out. This photograph is the 10th addition to "The Zen Metropolis". It will be added to BlackandWhitePhotography.ca at a later date.

The Zen Metropolis
I was shooting at the exhibition grounds this week and was asked to leave by the security people. Hmmm I've been taking photographs at the CNE for years and have never had a problem. I have a couple more images to add to the Zen Metropolis collection and #8 to the left is an image from the Chinese Cultural center on Shepard Ave in Scarborough. This interesting aspect of the structure is off to the side of the main entrance. I am concentrating on this project as much as possible. It seems that tracking down the locations of unique architectural style is the hidden challenge in this project.
