Movable Monument Project: UVIC

We had a lot of fun shooting this project. It was a warm but overcast Sunday morning on the university campus and when we started, there were very few people. Shooting conditions were perfect to capture quality shadow detail and in this case there was a second photographer as well as myself. We did have time however to talk to a few interested passers-by.
Why is the little girl smiling? The expressions, captured on film, resulted when I opened an inspection plate to show them the interior of the vessel. The interior of the object is the antithesis of the smooth flowing lines of the outer shell. You can see, in the image below, a black plastic inspection panel used to dry the vessel's interior. When the hatch is removed, hundreds of square wood blocks, from which the outer shell was carved, are revealed. The interior was very different from what she expected.
We had a great time talking about how the work was made before getting back to our project.
