I was in San Francisco (haven't been there in years since school). The Fine Arts Palace in Hayes Valley (in the Marina) always feels like home. I feel like 'all artists belong here. Here we can be in awe.'
A great way of showing scale and size is to compare something we all are familiar with. In this case, some random people (fellow artists, I assume...most likely, probably tourists
), were taking photos. I decided to snap at it with 2 exposures (later stitching it together in CS5) hoping it will reveal the magnitude of the dome. I decided to go sepia because of the ancient Roman and Greek architecture inspiration.
(this dome was ginormous!)
