Crandall Historic Printing Museum

I had the pleasure of photographing this amazing man Louis Crandall, who is the founder of Provo's Crandall Historic Printing Museum. He welcomed me warmly into his Museum. Above is a photograph of Louis standing in front of the only fully working authentic Gutenberg Press with a complete set of the actual movable type made in the same manner as in the 15th Century Gutenberg Print Shop.

The Flower Basket Boutique

Had the joy of photographing this lovely little flower boutique specializing in artistic floral arrangements. This shop is a hidden gem among the small town of downtown provo. Along with flowers this store offers quite the selection of handmade accessories, candles, foreign confectionaries and aromatherapy collections. With such colorful displays all over the store, I found many things that inspired me. I also could not escape without the purchase of a beautiful pair of loop jade earrings (shown in the last image of this post) made by a local company named "Phyllis & Larue."

St. Peter & Paul Orthodox Church

With my recent find of the Cathedral of the Madeleine, I started out on an adventure to uncover other religious treasures located in Salt Lake City. Just 3 blocks South East of the epicenter of downtown is a small hidden masterpiece. Walking through the doors of the chapel you come across a painted blue sky surround with beautiful icons reminiscent of the byzantine era.

The Cathedral of the Madeleine

  

Located in downtown Salt Lake is a stone Cathedral with massive gargoyles. When one walks through the doors they stumble across an overlooked treasure in the community. The interior is exquisitely painted with rich colors and massive murals.

Residential Interiors

Some facts that many don't know. When photographing interiors one must use a very wide angle lens to capture as much space in a room as possible. The down side is when you use a wide angel lens the images are skewed. Straight lines start to bend and objects get malformed. The dilemma photographers have is to attempt to correct these deformities in Photoshop without destroying the quality of the image.
