Photography Blog
After my first review I was asked to take explore more with my photography.
I decided to revisit Cubbon Park and Lal bagh.
After four days of extensive morning to evening photography i compiled all the images and created an online photography blog.
Here are the some of the collages of the flowers.

More
extensive research-facts and images
Look
at the blossoms in Bangalore in a larger context.
Visuals(photography)
-Isolate flower to get full impact of form,
detail textures and colour palate.
- Experiment with impressionism – light,
time, contrast, isolation of colour.
- Looking into macro and micro features of
blossom trees.
- Exploring different contexts by isolating
blossoms from their natural surroundings.
Create
a central thematic story(through the visuals) which would then be translated
into my colour palate, textures and design.

Inspirations
Ursel Arndt
Art project "Curtain 10,000 flower" arose after an initiative by the trade union for textile education in Germany.
"They are always around us, with all its Farben und form. The flower has no sound, and is only one thing - zu Liebe (love). Give me a flower, and you get a smile back."
She has used all kinds of techniques like crocheting, knitting and embroidery to modern methods
in unusual materials.- The curtain has more than 10,000 flowers, but not
one of them is withered or dead.The carpet has become more of a
story about patterns than real flowers.

Bouquet Unstringed
Gul Mohur
Delonix/Poiciana regia.
Blooming of the Gulmohur announces the arrival of summer. It is one of the most popular trees, and there are many beautiful specimens to see all over the city.
Rain tree
Pithecolobium saman
The beauty of the pink and white
blossom , shaped like silken tufts, is largely lost to the eye because of the
height at which the flowers appear.
The Rain Tree (Samanea saman) is a wide
canopied, umbrella-shaped tree that flowers through a large part of the year,
from March to September. The tree is locally known as 'Male mara'.Flowering Season: March to September
Bougainvillaea
Bouugainvillaea’s colours range from
magenta and purple to crimson , brick red , pale pink, salmon and yellow- even
white.
Tulip tree.
Spathodea Companulata
The African Tulip Tree (Spathodea campanulata)
is one of the most common trees in the city and like the Gulmohur, it is one of
the most recognised and familiar trees too.This variously
–named tree(scarlet bell tree) bears up turning clusters of brilliant orange
and crimson flowers which again , are variously described as “crumpled bells”,
“ancient Lamps”.
Flowers during
October- January and again during August – September.
The Queens flower
The tree is also
known by the name Pride of India' and is locally called 'Hole Dasavala'.
Flowering season :March – May
Tabebuia
Flowering season:January- February(sometimes even March)
Firangipani, Temple flower, Pagoda
tree
Plumeria alba and Rubra
There are two species of temple flowers
that are met with often, the red firangipani plumeria and the white Firangipani
Rubra. These trees are planted in gardens and parks and often used for urban
landscaping.
The secret of its popularity seems
to lie in its almost year long bloom and the rich fragrance emitted by the
flowers. Many regard it as symbolising immortality because it can keep
producing leaves and flowers even after it is uprooted from the soil.
Flowering season : March- April and
again during July- September
Cork Tree
Millingtonia Hortensis
Called ‘Akash Neem’ –sky climbing Neem, in apparent
recognition of its exceptionally trim and high stature. It is favoured as an
avenue tree more for the figure it cuts and delightful sprays of its tiny white
flowers and buds.
This fast growing tree flowers at night and sheds flowers early in the morning. The flowers are used in rituals. Because of he perfume of the flowers they are very much sought after. The waxy characteristic of the flowers ensure their freshness for a long time.
From April until the rains and again in November and December, a profusion of silvery-white, delightfully fragrant flowers crown the foliage.
