Spring Break at the Philadelphia International Flower Show 2010
Over the Spring Break I went to the Philadelphia International Flower Show for my first time. I actually went around 5PM on our last class day, which had been Friday, March 5, 2010. Once I was done work in North Philly, I headed downtown to get a fresh start on my assignment. I went solo for the event so that I could dedicate my attention to the event and not to entertaining anyone else, like my uninterested boyfriend.
Last Spring my Audio Visual Group had done an audio story on the 2009 Flower Show. I did not actually go, but I edited the interviews. I felt like most of the interviews I got this year were similar to the ones last year. This helped me decide to not do a slideshow, but rather a blog about the event. I did interview five people, but I wanted my story for this year to be about the visual aspect of the show.
The main reason why I chose to post on my blog is because I have been neglecting to post and I have been doing an excessive amount of slideshows lately. I need to start focusing on print and how I want my book to look, so I guess this is a nice step in that direction.
I am going to include photos of the people I interviewed and quoted, but three of the five people were shot in RAW which currently can not be read on my old Mac. However I am getting a new iMac Saturday and I am excited to finally have a Mac from this decade. Well I hope you enjoy my photos because this was a challenge for me. Anything with low lighting is a challenge for me and I guess that’s another reason why I chose to do another indoor event. Practice makes perfect!
