- Luyện đọc đầu ngày: ALEXANDER HENDERSON (1831-1913)
Born in Scotland, Henderson emigrated to Canada in 1855 and became a well-known landscape photographer.
Alexander Henderson was born in Scotland in 1831 and was the son of a successful merchant. His grandfather, also called Alexander, had founded the family business, and later became the first chairman of the National Bank of Scotland. The family had extensive landholdings in Scotland. Besides its residence in Edinburgh, it owned Press Estate, 650 acres of farmland about 35 miles southeast of the city. The family often stayed at Press Castle, the large mansion on the northern edge of the property, and Alexander spent much of his childhood in the area, playing on the beach near Eyemouth or fishing in the streams nearby.
Even after he went to school at Murcheston Academy on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Henderson returned to Press at weekends. In 1849 he began a three-year apprenticeship to become an accountant. Although he never liked the prospect of a business career, he stayed with it to please his family. In October 1855, however, he emigrated to Canada with his wife Agnes Elder Robertson and they settled in Montreal.
Henderson learned photography in Montreal around the year 1857 and quickly took it up as a serious amateur. He became a personal friend and colleague of the Scottish-Canadian photographer William Notman. The two men made a photographic excursion to Niagara Falls in 1860 and they cooperated on experiments with magnesium flares as a source of artificial light in 1865. They belonged to the same societies and were among the founding members of the Art Association of Montreal. Henderson acted as chairman of the association's first meeting, which was held in Notman's studio on 11 January 1860.
In spite of their friendship, their styles of photography were quite different. While Notman's landscapes were noted for their bold realism, Henderson for the first 20 years of his career produced romantic images, showing the strong influence of the British landscape tradition. His artistic and technical progress was rapid and in 1865 he published his first major collection of landscape photographs. The publication had limited circulation (only seven copies have ever been found), and was called Canadian Views and Studies. The contents of each copy vary significantly and have proved a useful source for evaluating Henderson's early work.
In 1866, he gave up his business to open a photographic studio, advertising himself as a portrait and landscape photographer. From about 1870 he dropped portraiture to specialize in landscape photography and other views. His numerous photographs of city life revealed in street scenes, houses, and markets are alive with human activity, and although his favourite subject was landscape he usually composed his scenes around such human pursuits as farming the land, cutting ice on a river, or sailing down a woodland stream. There was sufficient demand for these types of scenes and others he took depicting the lumber trade, steamboats and waterfalls to enable him to make a living. There was little competing hobby or amateur photography before the late 1880s because of the time-consuming techniques involved and the weight of the equipment. People wanted to buy photographs as souvenirs of a trip or as gifts, and catering to this market, Henderson had stock photographs on display at his studio for mounting, framing, or inclusion in albums.
Henderson frequently exhibited his photographs in Montreal and abroad, in London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Paris, New York, and Philadelphia. He met with greater success in 1877 and 1878 in New York when he won first prizes in the exhibition held by E and HT Anthony and Company for landscapes using the Lambertype process. In 1878 his work won second prize at the world exhibition in Paris.
In the 1870s and 1880s Henderson travelled widely throughout Quebec and Ontario, in Canada, documenting the major cities of the two provinces and many of the villages in Quebec. He was especially fond of the wilderness and often travelled by canoe on the Blanche, du Lievre, and other noted eastern rivers. He went on several occasions to the Maritimes and in 1872 he sailed by yacht along the lower north shore of the St Lawrence River. That same year, while in the lower St Lawrence River region, he took some photographs of the construction of the Intercolonial Railway. This undertaking led in 1875 to a commission from the railway to record the principal structures along the almost-completed line connecting Montreal to Halifax. Commissions from other railways followed. In 1876 he photographed bridges on the Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Occidental Railway between Montreal and Ottawa. In 1885 he went west along the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) as far as Rogers Pass in British Columbia, where he took photographs of the mountains and the progress of construction.
In 1892 Henderson accepted a full-time position with the CPR as manager of a photographic department which he was to set up and administer. His duties included spending four months in the field each year. That summer he made his second trip west, photographing extensively along the railway line as far as Victoria. He continued in this post until 1897, when he retired completely from photography.
When Henderson died in 1913, his huge collection of glass negatives was stored in the basement of his house. Today collections of his work are held at the National Archives of Canada, Ottawa, and the McCord Museum of Canadian History, Montreal.

加拿大│VEGAN PIZZA。創意連鎖速食
吃pizza,一定要和朋友開心分享,這次我們4個人分別點了4個pizza,由於這裡超多pizza種類,而且搭配都非常大膽創新,所以約一大群朋友來,通通吃一遍吧 😁 這次的朋友們都不是vegan,但他們都給予超高評價喔 😉
「Virtuous Pie」是一家連鎖的速食vegan pizza店,分別在溫哥華 (2家店)、維多利亞 (新開)、多倫多和美國波特蘭 (Portland) 都有分店呢!薄批,爽脆,搭配不同的配料,獨一無二的pizza誕生了!
「Superfunch」CA14,不喜歡吃火箭菜的我,居然覺得火箭菜和菇菇原來很搭;個人首推「Grandma Pie」CA14,不同的vegan cheese搭配在一起,帶點酸酸的,但又特別開胃,吃不膩啊;喜歡吃辣的可以挑戰「Calabrese」CA14,我吃了一口,臉龐馬上發燙 (超不能吃辣)
號外,Virtuous Pie背後的團隊 - TMRW Foods,將於2020年初在加拿大推出vegan漢堡 👏
Canada│VEGAN PIZZA。Creative。Fast Food Chain
To eat pizza, be sure to share it with your friends. This time, 4 of us ordered 4 pizzas. Since there are so many types of pizzas, and the combinations are very diverse and innovative, better to invite a large group of friends to try them all 😁 None of my friends are vegan, but they all give a super high ratings 😉
"Virtuous Pie" is a chain of fast-food vegan pizza restaurants with branches in Vancouver (2 stores), Victoria (newly opened), Toronto and Portland, USA! Thin and crispy dough, with different ingredients, unique pizza is born!
"Superfunch" CA14, I don’t like to eat arugula, but I actually think that arugula and mushrooms are very good match; I personally recommend "Grandma Pie" CA14. Different vegan cheeses are mixed together, a bit sour but specially appetizingt; those who like spicy food can challenge the "Calabrese" CA14. I took a bite and my face became red and hot immediately (I can't eat spicy food)
Special, the team behind Virtuous Pie - TMRW Foods, will launch vegan burger in early 2020 in Canada 👏

“Autumn killed the summer
With the softest kiss”

Did I ever mention how much I love Autumn? Oh yes I did. At least 100 times. When the chilly soft breezes touch you and the sun ray keeps you warm at the same time is the time I love the most. Also because it is so colourful, and from my feed anyone can tell how much I love colours. This year autumn is even far prettier. Yesterday went for an Autumn drive, and my heart filled with joy! All the mountains afar became all red yellow orange. Such a riot of joyful colours. It’s a mesmerizing view. Too bad I couldn’t capture them from that far while we were driving. This is why whoever wants to come Canada for a visit, I recommend them to come in autumn. Best time of the year. ♥️♥️

When I went back home to Canada to visit my family, I brought back a little taste of Taiwan. They all really seemed to love the Kaoliang jiu I asked them to try! This is a fun video, and really makes me miss my friends and family back home. Stay safe, everyone!

After two years living and teaching English in Taiwan, it's finally time to go home and see my friends and family. I'm really gonna miss Taiwan, but I'll be back. It was amazing to spend Christmas and New Years back home. I got to see the snow for the first time in what felt like forever. It was even better reconnecting with so many people I care about. I really missed Canada!

If you know me personally, you know I have always had a special place in my heart for Canada, and I was finally back after nearly 2 years, as a spring break vacation. To be honest, I have not felt happy in a long time, I was not being myself at all. But 10 days in Canada, reunited with my really really amazing friends that I don't deserve, I felt happy. I cried so hard at the airport when I had to leave, not because spring break was over & I had to go back to college, but because I felt like I left a piece of me there & my whole entire body hurt so bad. I promise myself that I will try to find a way to come back to Canada every year, at least for the next 10 years (until my visa expires lol).
This is the proudest video I have ever filmed and edited, it took awhile but it's finally here now. I hope you enjoy!
Shoutout to Teeayz for being my personally tour guide and photographer/videographer, Fogii for letting me stay when I literally had no where to go lol and also for keeping me company, Angela for letting me stay at her house (in both Toronto & Kingston), Nishad for literally driving 2 hours just to pick me up and did carpool karaoke with me, Chedy for having Korean food with me, Đức Minh for paying for my noodles when my card got declined lol and also for letting me stay the night when i (again) had nowhere to go smh, Angela's boyfriend & guy friends for being such gentlemen & overall awesome dudes, Angela's mom for being so nice and cooked for me, Peter for being so crazy lol & made me feel welcomed when we literally just met...
I can go on and on and on.. See? This is why I love Canada! All my friends there are the real ones and I appreciate them so much!!!
