Photo Tour of Frank Lloyd Wright’s Taliesin West – Part Two
Architectural Photography, Arizona Photography, Scottsdale Area Photography 1 CommentOne post of six images from the Frank Lloyd Wright School of Architecture at Taliesin West is not enough to do justice. So as a follow up to my first post of images from Taliesin, here are six more photographs.
The Iconic View
f/6.3 – 1/40 sec – ISO 100 – Focal Length 50 mm
This view of Taliesin West is probably one of the most photographed of the campus. The school has been served by natural ground water since construction began in the 1930s. To this day it still in not hooked into the city water system.
Many of the roofs at Taliesin are canvas. The original intent was to build a desert camp making canvas a fitting material. Today some innovative methods have had to been devised to prolong the life of the canvas in the harsh desert climate.
f/7.1 – 1/80 sec – ISO 100 – Focal Length 50 mm
Frank Lloyd Wright had an infinity for Asian art. There are hints of it placed through out the property such as these figures which Wright bought in pieces and had an apprentice reassemble.
