Happy Saturday! “Ada” 2018 On display @chicagobotanic until Oct. 28th. This beautiful orchid was truly a Big Bloom from @zezeflowers 💗 before I even photographed it! #bigbloomsorchids #paullangebigblooms . . This Big Blooms Orchid honors Ada Lovelace, (1815-1852) an English mathematician, known as the world’s first computer programmer for her work on Charles Babbage's design for the Analytical Engine. Her notes include the first coded algorithm for the calculation of Bernoulli numbers that would program the the machine. She predicted that machines like the Analytical Engine could go beyond mere numerical calculation, and that they could be used to compose music, create graphics, and be useful in science. “We may say most aptly, that the Analytical Engine weaves algebraic patterns, just as the Jacquard loom weaves flowers and leaves.”—Ada Lovelace . . . . . #photoexhibition2018 #chicagobotanicgarden#krehbielgallery #visionariesandtrailblazers #zezeflowers #orchids #fiftyacresproject #orchidlover #adalovelace #womeninstem #womeninscience #stempower #orchid #phalaenopsis #flowers #flowerpower #fineartphotography #contemporaryphotography #artinbloom #womenwhorock #inthepink #thinkpink #paullangephotography (at Chicago Botanic Garden)

Another peek from my new series “Big Blooms: Orchids.” I’m so excited to be presenting this new body of work created in collaboration with @chicagobotanic with extraordinarily generous donations of orchids from them, and from dear Peggy and Zeze @zezeflowers and @croft_ogawa. . Rosalind, 2018. This orchid is named after Rosalind Franklin (1920-1958,) an English chemist and X-ray crystallographer, best known for her X-ray photographs of crystallized DNA, taken in the early 1950s, that proved the molecule was a helix. Her infamous “Photo 51” was used without her knowledge, by James Watson and Francis Crick in the discovery of the double helix structure, which they published in 1953, without crediting Franklin for her research, and for which they were awarded the Nobel Prize in 1962. . . . . #paullange #BigBlooms #orchids #chicagobotanicgarden #zezeflowers #orchidshow2018 #asiainbloom #fineart #contemporaryphotography #miltoniopsis #orchid #flowerpower #flower #photograph #photography #photographer #photo51 #rosalindfranklin #womeninstem #womeninscience (at Chicago Botanic Garden)

Repost @kevinbearhill. Can't tell you how thrilled I am to see my Big Bloom, "Amanda" in this exquisite room! #contemporaryphotography #fineart #fiftyacresproject #zezeflowers #paullange #BigBlooms #peony #pink

Regram @suzannekasler. Just love the way my Big Bloom, "Carrie," looks in this exquisite room designed by Suzanne Kasler! #suzannekasler #milieumag #BigBlooms #paullange #peony #fineart #contemporaryphotography

The "Celine" makes her Big Blooms debut in Rizzoli's gorgeous new book: "Dior, The Art of Color," paired with a photograph by the great Serge Lutens! Just received my copies of this book from @dior and I'm so honored to have my work included! When I was starting out as a photographer, my wife and I used to go to the Rizzoli bookstore on 5th Avenue to see all of the latest European fashion magazines and we always looked for Serge Lutens unforgettable cosmetic ads for Christian Dior. #BigBlooms #paullange #poppy #photograph #fiftyacresproject #zezeflowers

The "Jocelyn," 2017 A rose is a rose is a rose... except when it's a Big Bloom named in honor of an exceptional woman. This beauty is named for the astrophysicist,Jocelyn Bell- Burnell, who discovered pulsars- little rotating neutron stars that emit radiation. The work earned her graduate supervisor a Nobel prize in 1974- a man who later referred to her as "a jolly good girl who was just doing her job." #bigblooms #paullange #womeninstem #jocelynbellburnell #zezeflowers #rose #thinkpink #floralfriday
