The Jockey Club Innovation Tower, Polytechnic University, Hong Kong
I was mesmerised by the building when I first saw it and I knew right away I had to come back to explore this building with my camera. I was drinking a Japanese beer with a friend of mine who studies at this university; she mentioned that this building is actually designed by the late Zaha Hadid and a lot of people have taken photos of the building but they all look the same. Arrogantly, I immediately said I will come back and take one you have never seen before. I am pretty happy with the result but please call me out if you ever come across a take similar to this dated before 25/11/2016 ;).
Some technical points, this photo was taken at ISO2500, 1/60, f/5.6 with a Sony A7. Sometimes you get these noisy purple-ish tone in the shadows especially when the ISO is starting to be high. However I actually have stopped doing noise reduction in my photos for a long time and I didn't do any noise reduction again with this photo despite the higher than perfect ISO. The point I want to make is that don't be afraid of high ISOs and noise. The purpleish tone from the noise and the refracted street lights are playing an important role with the overall mood in this photo in my opinion. It's also important to note that different cameras have a different level of ISO tolerance so the ISO number I provided is only a reference but the overall main point remains.
Thanks for reading and have a lovely day :),

Для Національного технічного університету України "Київський політехнічний інститут імені Ігоря Сікорського" найважливішим є те, що Никола Терещенко як один із промисловців, зацікавлених у підготовці вітчизняних кваліфікованих кадрів для економіки, був одним із ініціаторів відкриття в Києві політехнічного інституту та його засновників.
І саме він під час вирішення питання про створення комітету для розробки питання заснування в Києві політехнікуму пообіцяв, що в разі схвалення урядом цієї ідеї він від себе та своїх синів, Івана Николовича та Олександра Николовича, перерахує на цю справу 150 тисяч рублів.
Свою обіцянку він виконав. Тому офіційно жертводавцями вважаються батько і два сини Терещенки, хоча в літературі найчастіше називають ім'я Николи Артемовича.
Мурал (огромное изображение, которое нанесено на стену здания) на стене Центра культуры и искусств КПИ.
Автор - канадский художник Аарон Ли Хилл.
Аарон Ли Хилл: «На Мурале изображены протоны, которые движутся навстречу друг другу с огромной скоростью, а при их столкновения высвобождается энергия. Стены ведущего технического вуза Украины наилучше подошли для воплощения замысла".
В росписи, по словам художника, соединились фотография начала XIX века с людьми в движении и образ большого адронного коллайдера. "Мурал в Киеве, пожалуй, является одной из самых сложных и невероятных работ, над которыми я имел честь работать", - отметил Аарон Ли-Хилл.

This amazing building is the design child of famed architect, Dr. Santiago Calatrava. The automatic fins on top of the structure open and close to allow efficient use of available light. This IST (Innovation, Science and Technology) building is home to an ultra fast super computer, a 3D printing lab and a host of additional teaching and learning devices. Oh, and there are a number of very intelligent geeks hanging around, as well, with more on the way.

This is an image of the main building at Florida Polytechnic University , in Lakeland Florida.
I made the image for the Group 52 weeks , and the assignment was "repeating patterns".
Not my usual landscape . But you can see a Great Blue Heron flying on the right side . The building is surrounded by water . It is a very unusual building, hard for me to capture .

There is a feeling of freedom walking around a city with a camera. At 66, I still have that feeling but it was more pronounced when I was in my mid twenties, studying photography as a student at Ryerson Polytechnical Institute (now Toronto Metropolitan University.) I took a lot of photographs in my early years in Toronto, capturing street scenes and ordinary aspects of daily life that happened to catch my eye. American photographer Henry Wessel sums up my approach in this way: “Part of it has to do with the discipline of being actively receptive. At the core of this receptivity is a process that might be called soft eyes. It is a physical sensation. You are not looking for something. You are open, receptive. At some point you are in front of something that you cannot ignore.”
Back in the 1980s I would shoot a roll of film (usually black and white), process it a few days later and make a contact sheet. After that I might make an enlargement of one or two of the strongest shots, and then move on. The contact sheets may have been reviewed from time to time when I was preparing for an exhibition, but basically, I didn’t look at them for years and years.
For a long time, my photos were almost all black and white. I paid a great deal of attention to lines and form and the abstract qualities that monochrome provided. My influences had been Robert Frank and Lee Friedlander who were all about documenting the social landscape. It seemed that this type of photography was so much better suited to black and white, or as Frank called it, “the colours of hope and despair.”
I had no way to anticipate how significant these Toronto photos would seem to me 40 years later. They show things that no longer exist, even though it hasn’t been that long. Without necessarily trying to, I caught images of buildings, cars, fashions, gadgets that are no longer part of our world. Toronto’s entire skyline is utterly changed, part of the inevitable growth and evolution. I sometimes think about the children and young adults in these photos who are now in their 50s and 60s. How have their lives been?
Looking back now at the photos I spent my precious film on back then, so much comes back to me about dropped into a new environment. We use our creative tools as extensions of ourselves; they help us understand and define our place in the world. For me, having a camera in my hand at all times helped me remember, You only get to do this once. We have to take time and see it, as clearly as we can.
