G. Donald Bain: The Ferry Building Marketplace Behind the scene : how this panorama was made The Spring Equinox of 2005 came at a very busy time for me, the middle of the semester and the beginning of Spring Break. In addition to my own panorama I worked with two students on their contributions to Marketplace. Graduate student Rebecca Ghanadan and I went out to the Berkeley Horticultural Nursery early in the morning on Thursday. It was overcast, a nice diffuse light, and the nursery was closed to the public. The employees watched us curiously as we carefully considered locations and strategies. High school student Kaz George, working as an intern in the geography department, chose a radically different subject. We went to the Emery Bay Public Market, a lively scene at lunchtime, with lots of movement and tricky lighting. For my own panorama I had arranged with Equity Office, who manage the Ferry Building, for permission - thank you to Jane Connors. It was a day of torrential rain and I was very glad to be shooting indoors. The next day I was on the road, heading south to the desert to photograph wildflowers. Return
