Harold A. Taylor and his wife Maud floral and botanical aficionados! They brought this love to Coronado and established the Coronado Floral Association - creating the perfect space to find subjects for his autochrome method of photography.

Harold A. Taylor used his own process of photographing color called autochrome. The process required the subject to be incredibly still ... which made flowers the perfect subject. Come back next week to see why this was important to Coronado!
