I plan on doing my photo essay on the upcoming annual Orchid Show at the New York Botanical Garden. The theme of the show this year – which has run for 18 years – is “Jeff Leatham’s Kaleidoscope” which promises to have “dazzling floral creations” and “bursts of forms and colors—in purples, reds, oranges, and hot pink,” according to the organization’s website. Exhibits from previous years that I have attended were very colorful, lively, and unique which I believe will be best captured through a photographic medium. For the essay portion I will explain the history of the Orchid Show and the inspirations for this year’s show. I will hopefully also be able to interview staff members and guests for their insight and opinions on the show.
