2/6/24 – 1:00 PM – Bits & Bytes
Objective Description: The sunlight was shining through a window with blinds, and the light coming through the route holes created little ovals of light on the table and chair next to the window.
Subjective Description: Each droplet of light projected a small moment of peace. They wouldn’t be there for long, but they shone brightly as the sun tried to pry its way into the room.
Date: 2/04/2016 Time: 9:40 p.m. Location: Outside of Lowe/Bits
Objective Description: It’s dark out and the only the light is coming from the street lamps around campus. There is also some glow coming from classrooms and offices in Lowe and Memorial. The few people that are out around this area of campus are mostly silhouetted and hard to make out.
Subjective Description: Many people feel scared or anxious in the dark. I usually feel that way a bit as well, except for tonight which is why this lighting moment caught my attention. The gentle glow of the street lights accompanied with the light from a few random offices was actually a wonderful moment. The lamps were not bright and harsh so the light coming from them was warm and comforting. It was very peaceful out and the darkness, with the accompaniment of the lamps, was beautiful instead of frightening. The silhouetted people and dark buildings made everything feel abstract and almost dream like.

2. There was light shining through the trees and the fuzzy glass. The glass gave the light a gross color and spread it out.
3. We were sitting in the back of bits when I looked up to sort of see the sun through the glass ceiling and a tree branch above. The glass made the light really gross and futuristic. It made me think of what life will be like in the future. Will the sun only be looked at in this manner. Through dirty glass and never with just eyes. Will we remain undercover in domes because something has gone wrong with the planet and it is not safe to be outside. It would be really sad if we could never see the sun without some sort of screen separating us. Never to enjoy a beautiful sunny day.
