Knoll Toronto Showroom

by Andrew Ross.
No comments yet

I had the good fortune recently to be hired to produce some interior photographs of Knoll’s new Toronto showroom. It is a beautiful space filled with iconic furniture, including the Barcelona Chair and Couch by Mies van der Rohe, and it is also the first independent furniture showroom not located in a LEED building to receive a LEED Platinum rating in all of North America. This is one of only three projects in Canada to receive a LEED-CI Platinum rating. So it is really quite an accomplishment, and it was a pleasure to photograph it. The photo below is one of my favourite images from that shoot, and I used it recently in a promotional email. If you would like to receive future email promos like this, please drop me a line with your contact details.

Fresh bread in five minutes… sort of.

I have started baking bread recently and decided to capture the results in a few photos.

Fresh bread in five minutes

I love bread and have to have it with most of my meals, but I never thought I would have the time or patience to make fresh bread. That changed recently when I discovered the book Artisan Bread in Five Minutes a Day: The Discovery That Revolutionizes Home Baking. The title sounds too good to be true, but it really does only require about five minutes of actual work. The secret is that you mix a batch of dough in advance (it only takes a few minutes) and keep it in the fridge. On baking day you grab a hunk a dough, quickly form it into a loaf, and then let it sit for about 40 minutes while you preheat the oven. When the oven is hot, you slide the bread in and about 30 minutes later you’ve got hot, delicious, freshly baked bread. It’s awesome and if you like bread I definitely recommend the book. You can also use the dough for pizzas, flat breads, cinnamon buns, and all kinds of other recipes.

The authors also have a new edition coming out this month called Healthy Bread in Five Minutes a Day: 100 New Recipes Featuring Whole Grains, Fruits, Vegetables, and Gluten-Free, so you may want to watch out for that.

Sunday Breakfast – Homemade Waffles

Vintage waffle maker from the Goodwill.

Vintage waffle maker from the Goodwill.

I was browsing at the Goodwill the other day and found this wonderful looking vintage waffle maker. It was half-price day as well, so it only cost me a couple bucks, and it still works fine. I also found the vintage radio that you see in the photo, and a few nice vinyl records that day, so I was glad everything was half price. The cookie jar in the photo is not from the Goodwill and has been in my family since I was kid.

This morning I decided to try my hand at making waffles and was pretty happy with the results of my first attempt. They’re a little undercooked, but hey, it was my first time with a waffle iron from the Goodwill ;-) I used the recipe for Quick and Easy Waffles in the cook book How to Cook Everything by Mark Bittman (highly recommended by the way), and the next time I will try his more advanced Overnight Waffles recipe.

SlideShowPro honours arossphoto.com

SlideShowPro honours arossphoto.com

I was very pleased when I learned that arossphoto.com was picked as one of the Top Ten Sites for September 2009 by SlideShowPro. I have used SlideShowPro products extensively to display and manage images on my site, and I highly recommend them. They are very reasonably priced and with a little knowledge of Flash and web design you can produce some very nice sites. I am not a web designer or programmer, and my skills are pretty rudimentary. So to have my site recognized as one of the best user examples is a real honour. To see the other great sites that where chosen please visit: http://slideshowpro.net/news/

    Andrew

    Hi! My name is Andrew Ross and I am a photographer in Toronto who specializes in shooting interiors and food. This blog is more informal than the rest of my site, and follows both my personal and professional life. The content here may range from recent jobs and marketing materials, to personal projects or some of my favorite obsessions like coffee (I roast my own beans at home), single-malt scotch, or music (I still listen to vinyl records). Thanks very much for visiting and I hope this blog gives everyone a sense of who I am, and what I am all about.
