CTV Island News

Victoria, BC view map

Standing across the street with my camera and debating how to go about taking a photo of the old yellow brick building where the CTV TV station is in Victoria. A guy standing inside waved at me and then came out. My first thought was uh-oh, I'm in trouble. But instead…. he asked me if I wanted him to turn the studio lights on again to photograph. Couldn't believe my luck! So I took a few images with windows and the building and tried to line everything up. This one is simply the window only, from outside the TV station and through the window.

It proves the old adage, "it is better to be lucky than good" or is it "you have to be good to be lucky". Ah, it does not matter, great photo! V
