Well
yes, sort of. You see, ARTIC stands for Anaheim Regional Transportation
Intermodal Center. I think it’s one of those acronyms that was dreamed up
before they put all the words to it… Anyway, it’s been under construction
for quite some time, and I’ve been watching the progress of that construction
with great interest on a weekly basis each time I ride my bike up the Santa Ana
River Trail.
Lately,
the ARTIC had been taking shape (pun intended I guess given its unusual
architecture), particularly the multi-colored lighting on the interior—which
also happens to be visible from the exterior through the translucent building
panels. The ARTIC is now open later so I thought it
was about time to plan a shoot and show off its beauty, as well as its
proximity to Angel’s Stadium (the “Big A”), and the Honda Center (previously
known as “The Pond”).
My
planning involved several major components…where to position myself to get the
desired composition, when to be there to get the best combination of lighting,
and how to get to that point with the least amount of walking, and with the
greatest amount of safety—the Santa Ana River Trail can be a bit dicey after
dark. I settled on my plan and scheduled my
outing. The results speak to a combination of shoot planning and the exquisite architecture of the facility.
