The Crystal Garden (2): The Crystal Garden takes up the majority of the Event Hall and is an expansive collection of hand crafted crystal flowers created specifically for this event. The garden is impressive and magical; while there is little effort to make identical replicas of the flowers used for inspiration, each cut of crystal seems to capture the light and make the flowers glow. Many of the flowers are easy to recognize and are true to life in size and shape, but there are sections of the garden with flowers that come in fantastical sizes and shapes. It feels like stepping into another world. During the daytime, the natural light from the glass windows and sunroof makes it easy to see fine details, and when the sun goes down, the artificial lighting spreads beautiful rainbow prisms across the ground and walls. No matter what time of day you visit the garden, you’re guaranteed a beautiful sight. There are several locations specifically designed for photographs you can take on your own, but the venue has also hired professional photographers to help you capture yourself in the moment.
Contributing artists are credited along the back wall, and if players have characters with glass or crystal skills they are permitted to have donated to the display. If your character is a professional photographer, you can also play them as employed at the venue. It had been a while since he done an event outside of weddings, but Ryan was enjoying himself and he was really in his element. He truly loved photography so getting to capture the beauty of this garden and the people visiting all day was right up his alley.
He had been trying as well to see how many pictures he could get that captured rainbows, as garden was completely made of color glass, sparkling under the lights. At the right angles rainbow could be seen throughout the garden.
He take a break shortly to check out the other art in the gallery and give his husband a break from their youngest who was having a day, where he just wanted him and his husband.

Isolde strolled through the winding path, reveling in the vibrant artwork displayed on every corner. The gallery was filled with sculptures, paintings, and installations that overflowed with creativity. Isolde's eyes danced from one piece to another, her heart expanding with awe and inspiration. Everything looked quite beautiful. She couldn't deny it. She wasn't sure about Destiny City when she learned she was going to start living there. But she really like what she was seeing from the city so far.

Ryan moved to another area that was set up for taking photo. He stopped and changed out his memory card as the current was nearly full and he didn't want to have to change out in the middle of taking someone's pictures. He saw a blonde woman walking near when he finished and gave her a nod in greeting before pointing the bench with crystal climbing flowers wrapped around it, behind it were giant morning glories and it was all together beautiful.
"Would you like a picture," he asked.

Isolde smiled appreciatively at Ryan's offer. The allure of the crystal-climbing flowers and the giant morning glories beckoned to her, urging her to capture their ethereal beauty in a photograph. She smiled gratefully at Ryan's offer. She had been lost in the enchantment of the artwork surrounding her, but the idea of capturing a moment within this mesmerizing garden enticed her. "Oh, yes, please!" she exclaimed, her eyes gleaming with excitement. She gracefully made her way towards the bench, her fingers lightly brushing against the delicate crystal flowers as she settled onto it. She thought about giving the picture to her grandparents as a thanks for letting her stay with them.

Ryan didn't even wait for her to sit down because the look of happiness and excitement was so genuine he had to capture them. He snapped a picture of her touching the flowers so gentle and smiled as she sat down.
"Just pose however you feel comfortable and I'll take a couple shots then we can move to another spot. Once we've got a bunch of shots you like, you can pick the five you like best and pick them up at then of the event."
He waited to see what she would do and for her to signal to him that she was ready to start.

Isolde gracefully adjusted her posture, her eyes still sparkling with excitement. She placed her hands gently on her lap, her fingertips barely grazing the delicate crystal flowers. Taking a deep breath, she let out a soft sigh of contentment, allowing herself to fully immerse in the enchanting atmosphere of the garden. It had been a long time since she took any type of pictures. She was little then. Then she went into her rebellious teen years and became too much for her parents to handle. She signaled to Ryan that she was ready.

Ryan gave her a thumbs up and brought his camera up moving to get a could angle and grinning when he managed to capture a rainbow. He wondered if she was be amused by it, snapping the picture and moving to grab the image from another angle.
After a few shot, he walked over to her and showed her what he'd got so far. "Would you like to try another pose or move to another spot?"
There was another spot about 30 feet away with what looked like a wisteria tree, but all the hanging flowers were glass. There was a swing hanging from he tree and it would make for a great pictures.

Isolde's eyes widened with delight as she admired the photographs Ryan had taken. The vibrant colors, the delicate rainbow captured in each shot, it was even more beautiful than she had imagined. "These are stunning!" she exclaimed, her voice filled with awe. Isolde looked over the pictures and thought that maybe another spot would be good to have more options to pick from. "If it's no bother can we also do another spot?"

There were a lot a spots around and Ryan nodded, "I don't mind at all. Its what I'm here for." They'd hired him to do just that and even if they hadn't Ryan would have been there taking pictures anyway. He taken all sorts of pictures during the weekend and was going to provide them to the event coordinators and a connection at the new paper. It would make a good feel good article for the newspaper.
He pointed out the swing and a few others spots around them and left it up to the young lady to choose where she wanted to move to.

Isolde's eyes widened with excitement as she saw the swing hanging from the magnificent wisteria tree. The glass flowers swayed delicately in the breeze, casting shimmering shadows on the ground beneath. She couldn't resist the allure of capturing that ethereal moment. "The swing, please!"

Ryan chuckled in amusement and have a nod, letting the young woman lead the way over to the swing. Personally he thought it was the best place to take a picture other than the glass poppy field, because it was amusing to get the Wizard of Oz-esque Dorothy shots. He had many several with people pretending to be sleep covered in small rainbows from lighting shining on the glass flowers.
"Alright, sit one the swing and move back with the swing like your going to swing, hold it for a second." He intended to snap a picture with her about to start swinging before he got a few shots of her actually swinging.
"Good, now we can get a few of you swinging on the swing, then a few more of whatever poses you can think of. Swings are always pretty easy to pose on."

Isolde beamed with anticipation as she settled onto the swing, feeling a surge of childlike joy course through her veins. She gripped the swing's chains gently, her feet hovering just above the ground, ready to push off and let her heart soar with each back-and-forth motion. Isolde pushed off with her feet, propelling herself back and forth on the swing. With each arc, a sense of freedom washed over her, reminding her of carefree days spent in her grandparents' backyard. She leaned back, her hair billowing in the wind, and closed her eyes for a moment, savoring the sensation. This was the first time since being abandoned by her parents that she felt carefree.

Ryan found the young lady was a wonderful subject to photograph, her emotions clear on her face. He snapped several photos of her enjoying herself and when he looked through they he already knew he found a few gems.
He approached her to show there the images, pointing out two he especially like. "I would like to ask permission if its okay with you to add these to my portfolio on movement. It something Ive been adding to since before I graduated from college. I'd especially like to display this one in my studio."
He fished out one of the business cards he had for his studio and hand it to the young woman. "I'm Ryan Boltnikov."

Kaori_luv I am so so so so sorry for the late reply. I didn't even realize it was my time to tag. neutral Isolde's heart swelled with gratitude as she looked at the images that Ryan had captured. The pure joy and sense of liberation on her face were captured so beautifully in each photograph. She couldn't help but smile at the genuine emotion that emanated from the pictures. As Ryan spoke about adding these photos to his portfolio on movement, Isolde felt a rush of pride. To be a part of someone's creative journey was an honor she never expected to experience. She took the business card from Ryan, her eyes scanning the name "Ryan Boltnikov" with admiration. "Thank you, Ryan," Isolde said softly, her voice filled with sincerity. "I would be honored to have my photos included in your portfolio. It means a lot to me." “I am Isolde Chambers.”
