Virens (Latin for greening)
My profession: Landscape Designer and Nature Photographer
Location: New York City
My collection of botanical photos documents the individual characteristics of many species of New York City street trees and plants, including some weeds. In the tradition of botanical illustration of the 1800s, I have titled each image with genus and species names so that they have educational as well as aesthetic value.
My full collection of 1,000 images documenting 100 species can be found on flickr at http://bit.ly/virens
If you are interested, please email me a request to import more images into QOOP for creating prints and posters. virensviridis@gmail.com. Thank you.
My images are either:
2592 x 1944 px 8.6" x 6.5" (300 dpi); or 2448 x 3264 px 8.2" x 10.9" (300 dpi);
PLANTS AS ECOLOGICAL THREATS:
Many of the descriptions of my images are concerned with the ecological threat that many alien and/or invasive species have to our region, the Lower Hudson Valley of New York State. You may pursue further reading on each invasive species under the links I have provided, mostly from this source: Plant Conservation Alliance's Alien Plant Working Group www.nps.gov/plants/ALIEN/fact.htm
It is important to note that many of these invasive species can be purchased from plenty of mail order nurseries on the web, where they are sold especially for their attractiveness. It is our custodial responsibility as landscape architects to recognize these threats by sight.
SPECIAL THANKS:
I would like to thank my two teachers who lent me their knowledge and inspiration on countless walking tours in pursuit of plant identification. Kenneth Kammeyer, CLARB, has been a UCLA Extension Landscape Architecture teacher for 30 years. He led us to many parks and nature preserves in Palm Desert, Encinitas, La Canada, Arcadia and Santa Barbara, California. Professor Jess Hanks, Botanist, City College of New York, died of cancer in 2001. He led us through the wilderness of Van Cortlandt Park, Inwood Hill Park and Central Park and described the ecological and Native American history of these areas as well as the plants while he was in chemotherapy. Happy memories of both those bearded men were often with me while I traipsed through the woods of New York City with my camera.
I would also like to thank the knowledgeable horticulture staff at Wave Hill Public Garden in Riverdale, New York for taking the time to help me to identify plants by name.

Luis Avilés-Ortiz
“With an acute eye for detail and an innate ability to view the world as an art form, Luis Aviles brings a unique and very special talent to the photography forum. He makes the inanimate, animate. With growing popularity and being increasingly acknowledged by fellow photographers and advocates of his work as a passionate and charismatic artist, Luis executes brilliantly, capturing moments-in-time in each image. His poetic and sometimes quirky style translates into pictures which tell stories without words and which evoke an emotional and immediate bond with his audience.”

CK-12 FLEXBOOKS
About CK-12
CK-12 is a non-profit organization dedicated to the objective that every K-12 student in the United States and worldwide deserves access to the highest quality and lowest cost textbooks and course materials. By using an open source, collaborative, and web-based compilation model, CK-12 aims to enable the educational community to author enhance, and publish these course materials to suit specific needs and environments.
CK-12 Philosophy
Today, textbooks that are used in the K-12 educational system are limiting, expensive, and difficult to update. Because of this, K-12 teachers find it hard to introduce new concepts and cater to different needs. What we need is a more flexible and less expensive system to create and distribute books and online content. Our approach is to have high quality online content that is easy to create, update, and print. This new platform utilizes an open source model to place free content online that can be mixed, modified, and printed to suit instructor needs.
