- Luyện đọc đầu ngày: ALEXANDER HENDERSON (1831-1913)

Born in Scotland, Henderson emigrated to Canada in 1855 and became a well-known landscape photographer.

Alexander Henderson was born in Scotland in 1831 and was the son of a successful merchant. His grandfather, also called Alexander, had founded the family business, and later became the first chairman of the National Bank of Scotland. The family had extensive landholdings in Scotland. Besides its residence in Edinburgh, it owned Press Estate, 650 acres of farmland about 35 miles southeast of the city. The family often stayed at Press Castle, the large mansion on the northern edge of the property, and Alexander spent much of his childhood in the area, playing on the beach near Eyemouth or fishing in the streams nearby.

Even after he went to school at Murcheston Academy on the outskirts of Edinburgh, Henderson returned to Press at weekends. In 1849 he began a three-year apprenticeship to become an accountant. Although he never liked the prospect of a business career, he stayed with it to please his family. In October 1855, however, he emigrated to Canada with his wife Agnes Elder Robertson and they settled in Montreal.

Henderson learned photography in Montreal around the year 1857 and quickly took it up as a serious amateur. He became a personal friend and colleague of the Scottish-Canadian photographer William Notman. The two men made a photographic excursion to Niagara Falls in 1860 and they cooperated on experiments with magnesium flares as a source of artificial light in 1865. They belonged to the same societies and were among the founding members of the Art Association of Montreal. Henderson acted as chairman of the association's first meeting, which was held in Notman's studio on 11 January 1860.

In spite of their friendship, their styles of photography were quite different. While Notman's landscapes were noted for their bold realism, Henderson for the first 20 years of his career produced romantic images, showing the strong influence of the British landscape tradition. His artistic and technical progress was rapid and in 1865 he published his first major collection of landscape photographs. The publication had limited circulation (only seven copies have ever been found), and was called Canadian Views and Studies. The contents of each copy vary significantly and have proved a useful source for evaluating Henderson's early work.
In 1866, he gave up his business to open a photographic studio, advertising himself as a portrait and landscape photographer. From about 1870 he dropped portraiture to specialize in landscape photography and other views. His numerous photographs of city life revealed in street scenes, houses, and markets are alive with human activity, and although his favourite subject was landscape he usually composed his scenes around such human pursuits as farming the land, cutting ice on a river, or sailing down a woodland stream. There was sufficient demand for these types of scenes and others he took depicting the lumber trade, steamboats and waterfalls to enable him to make a living. There was little competing hobby or amateur photography before the late 1880s because of the time-consuming techniques involved and the weight of the equipment. People wanted to buy photographs as souvenirs of a trip or as gifts, and catering to this market, Henderson had stock photographs on display at his studio for mounting, framing, or inclusion in albums.

Henderson frequently exhibited his photographs in Montreal and abroad, in London, Edinburgh, Dublin, Paris, New York, and Philadelphia. He met with greater success in 1877 and 1878 in New York when he won first prizes in the exhibition held by E and HT Anthony and Company for landscapes using the Lambertype process. In 1878 his work won second prize at the world exhibition in Paris.

In the 1870s and 1880s Henderson travelled widely throughout Quebec and Ontario, in Canada, documenting the major cities of the two provinces and many of the villages in Quebec. He was especially fond of the wilderness and often travelled by canoe on the Blanche, du Lievre, and other noted eastern rivers. He went on several occasions to the Maritimes and in 1872 he sailed by yacht along the lower north shore of the St Lawrence River. That same year, while in the lower St Lawrence River region, he took some photographs of the construction of the Intercolonial Railway. This undertaking led in 1875 to a commission from the railway to record the principal structures along the almost-completed line connecting Montreal to Halifax. Commissions from other railways followed. In 1876 he photographed bridges on the Quebec, Montreal, Ottawa and Occidental Railway between Montreal and Ottawa. In 1885 he went west along the Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) as far as Rogers Pass in British Columbia, where he took photographs of the mountains and the progress of construction.

In 1892 Henderson accepted a full-time position with the CPR as manager of a photographic department which he was to set up and administer. His duties included spending four months in the field each year. That summer he made his second trip west, photographing extensively along the railway line as far as Victoria. He continued in this post until 1897, when he retired completely from photography.

When Henderson died in 1913, his huge collection of glass negatives was stored in the basement of his house. Today collections of his work are held at the National Archives of Canada, Ottawa, and the McCord Museum of Canadian History, Montreal.

🖐🏽 五分鐘來關心國際時事— 葛萊美獎🇺🇸
📰 At Grammy Nominations, Nods to Beyoncé and Taylor Swift but The Weeknd Is Snubbed

The music awards offer an unusual mix of conventional and little-known artists, who also surprise with top nods

📌 這篇文章關於流行音樂，用了生動、屬於口語的詞匯，值得大家學習。Grammy就是美國著名的格蘭美音樂獎，標題提到格蘭美肯定碧昂絲和泰勒斯，所用的字是nod (點頭)，威肯則被冷落了(snubbed)。

The Grammy Award nominations are out, and there is a glaring number of unexpected nods and snubs: Less-known artists like Jacob Collier and Black Pumas and rock institution Coldplay scored nominations for top prizes. But The Weeknd? Shut out completely.

📌 這段提述格蘭美獎給公佈了(out)，一些不太爲人所知的藝人(lesser-known artists)和在搖滾音樂裏是出名的人 (rock institution)獲得提名大獎 (top prizes)，但是 The Weekend被摒棄(shut out)。

It’s a surprising turn: A year ago, the annual awards show seemed to have a finger on pop music’s new guard. But the nominees for next year’s prizes, announced by the Recording Academy on Tuesday, are a mix of quirky and conventional, with small, niche artists receiving high-profile nods, widely favored and zeitgeisty acts getting snubbed and established names instead of newcomers dominating overall nominations. Next year’s Grammys will take place on Jan. 31 in Los Angeles, hosted by “The Daily Show” host and comedian Trevor Noah

📌 這段形容這是令人驚訝的事態的變化(surprising turn)。一年前，格蘭美獎似乎確定(have a finger on)流行音樂的新衛士派(new guard)，今年情況不一樣。
.
Three of the eight nominations for the most prestigious prize, Album of the Year, went to R&B singer Jhené Aiko, genre-crossing music prodigy Jacob Collier and retro-soul duo Black Pumas. These are less commercially-successful artists that have currency with Grammy voters but may be unfamiliar to most music fans. Veteran rock band Coldplay was also nominated in the category, a surprise given the lack of buzz in the run-up to the nominations. And the only rapper recognized for the top award is Post Malone, who straddles the fence with pop music. Other nominees in this category include pop star Dua Lipa—considered a major contender—Taylor Swift and rock sister-trio Haim. Beyoncé, who leads the pack with nine nominations overall, is the most nominated female artist in Grammy history.

📌 這段交代各得獎人的細節，當中使用流行音樂常見的詞匯，學了這些詞匯可以提高這方面的表達能力。

In perhaps the biggest upset this year, R&B-pop crooner The Weeknd was shut out of all award nominations. The Canadian superstar was considered a frontrunner by many in the music business, having released one of 2020’s most successful and praised albums, “After Hours.” (The Weeknd is also playing next year’s Super Bowl.) On Monday, “Blinding Lights,” one of The Weeknd’s recent songs, became the longest-running Top-Ten hit in the 62-year history of Billboard’s singles chart.

On Tuesday evening, The Weeknd criticized his Grammy shut-out on Twitter. “The Grammys remain corrupt,” he said. “You owe me, my fans and the industry transparency.”

In response, the Recording Academy’s interim CEO and President, Harvey Mason Jr., said it was an “unusual and competitive year.”
“We understand that The Weeknd is disappointed... I was surprised and can empathize,” Mr. Mason Jr. said. He also addressed speculation that The Weeknd was asked to pick between performing at the Super Bowl and the Grammys. “Voting in all categories ended well before The Weeknd’s performance at the Super Bowl was announced, so in no way could it have affected the nomination process,” Mr. Mason Jr. said.

📌 這三段關於威肯指責格蘭美獎腐敗的(corrupt)，缺乏透明度(transparency)，格蘭美獎負責人的反應(response)是今年是不尋常的(unusual)和競爭激烈的(competitive)。 他也回應一個揣測(speculation)，說威肯不獲提名獎項跟在美國橄欖球超級杯大賽(Super Bowl) 表演無關。
