Seems I’m blessed with the ability to create rain, lots of it too!
All that’s needed is the annual rush on architecture awards submissions and ta dah! it buckets down. There is definitely a history of this, the BOM has been tracking it too, they call it La Niña but really its all started when one of my architecture clients picks up the phone and calls me.
Proof is in the numbers; 2011 – I photographed about 7 projects for architects towards the end of January and beginning of Feb 2011.
BOM says “February recorded more than double the historical average to be the 7th wettest on record. Most of this was due to a significant rain event across NSW in the first week of the month, with daily falls of over 40 mm recorded at the Airport on both the 3rd and 5th, and ACT totals reaching 103 mm at Mt Ginini and 83.6 mm at Tuggeranong on the 3rd. Rainfall also increased towards the end of the year as a weak La Niña developed, with November the 8th wettest on record for Canberra. Much of this was due to a low pressure trough that brought 45 mm to Canberra Airport on November 6th, reaching 91.6 mm at Tuggeranong.”
This year I photographed a couple less and the rain was constant but the overall amount less. See the trend! Feel the pain….I have a love hate relationship with architecture photography, stemming from the fact that I can’t control the weather. I’ve managed to control the light on large scale buildings but the weather still challenges my control freak tendency’s.
