During this work, he met the garden designer and horticulturalist Gertrude Jekyll. He began his own practice in 1888, his first commission being a private house at Crooksbury, Farnham, Surrey. For many years he worked from offices at 29 Bloomsbury Square, London. It was here that he first met Sir Herbert Baker. After college he joined the Ernest George and Harold Peto architectural practice. Lutyens studied architecture at South Kensington School of Art, London, from 1885 to 1887.
He was named after a friend of his father, the painter and sculptor Edwin Henry Landseer. His sister, Mary Constance Elphinstone Lutyens (1868–1951), wrote novels under her married name Mrs George Wemyss. Lutyens was born in Kensington, London, the tenth of thirteen children of Mary Theresa Gallwey (1832/33–1906) from Killarney, Ireland, and Captain Charles Henry Augustus Lutyens (1829–1915), a soldier and painter. He was elected Master of the Art Workers' Guild in 1933. Many of his works were inspired by Indian architecture. In collaboration with Sir Herbert Baker, he was also the main architect of several monuments in New Delhi such as the India Gate he also designed Viceroy's House, which is now known as the Rashtrapati Bhavan. In recognition of his contribution, New Delhi is also known as " Lutyens' Delhi". Lutyens played an instrumental role in designing and building New Delhi, which would later on serve as the seat of the Government of India. The architectural historian Gavin Stamp described him as "surely the greatest British architect of the twentieth (or of any other) century". In his biography, the writer Christopher Hussey wrote, "In his lifetime (Lutyens) was widely held to be our greatest architect since Wren if not, as many maintained, his superior". He designed many English country houses, war memorials and public buildings.

Spell-It-Out Photos offers custom letter art photography. There is a good collection for customers to choose from, but they will continue to add to images from every sport. However, it is difficult to find A-Z images of every sport.
They decided to launch it now, because they had so many requests to use sports letters. Sue and Lynn want to make it clear that this gallery is a work in progress. The use of shadows and lines is a clear example of their out of the box thinking. Besides, we knew how much our customers would love the sports gallery.”Īs for the gallery itself, it is filled with vibrant and creative images. So it only made sense that we would create a gallery that not only represents many of our favorite pass times, but somewhat documents our journey through parenthood. Lynn continued, “It’s definitely a labor of love. They are planned around games, meets, access, favors, and drive by discoveries”, explained Sue. And it’s not like a baseball game or swim meet breaks out as we pass by. Unlike our other galleries, where we could simply go on a hike and find letters, it’s more difficult to find the right equipment or a decent field. However, it definitely took longer than we anticipated. We loved the idea and started working on it from day one. Something fun, where you could spell words and names using sports equipment or fields. “Ever since we started Spell-It-Out Photos, we envisioned having a sports gallery. There are plenty of options for all budgets. Custom creations can be matted and framed, printed on glass, made into a banner, etc. Customers can spell a word or phrase using these alphabet images. The images are then placed on their website. They crop each image to isolate and enhance the letter. The concept is simple, Sue Tenerowicz and Lynn McAuliffe, co-owners of Spell-It-Out Photos, have taken photos of equipment, fields, pools, etc. This gallery joins the established Countryside and Winter galleries in a letter art collection like none other. 9, 2011 - PRLog - Spell-It-Out Photos, a letter art photography online store, launched their long awaited sports gallery August 2nd.
