I wonder if mac and cheese tastes better in a gilded chair? Does the governor really live and entertain in this building?

Not sure. I think some do and some don’t.

Is that a tree in front of a mirror in the center? Whatever, you did a great job of capturing the “immenseness” of the place. I want to sit in one of those chairs and drink a Pabst from a can. I want to eat corned beef hash from a can. I want to wear shorts and a Hawaiian shirt. Barefoot. There is something about these kind of places I just admire the hell out of, and immediately need to control the projected power they emanate.

I don’t think it’s a tree – some kind of greenery, though.
I don’t think they let people like you into the Governor’s dining room with Spam and Pabst, though.

Echoing Greg: Shooting interiors is demanding. Like he said, you captured the immensity of the space.

The funny thing is that it’s not really that big. The mirror makes it look a lot bigger, and the wide-angle lens does the rest. But yeah, this shot conveys a lot of space.

What I’d love to do is get back in there one day on my own. I took this leaning across a velvet rope from the adjoining room and trying to wrestle off the crowd. This was taken in extremely shooter-unfriendly conditions, and if you gave me the run of the place for a few moments I could do a lot better.
