4) I find this picture fascinating by how the light reflects on the ice. Winter for me is like cold, icy glass that surrounds me especially when it snows. This photo reminds me of a glass mirror that I can see my reflection on. It looks so smooth and too delicate to touch. My eyes are concentrated on the bright light making everything else seems dim. The bright shining light makes me feel hopeful.
January 31st, 1 pm, the quad in front of Emily Lowe
The weather is overcast and snowing, everything is grey and cold. There is a break in the clouds just above Adam’s. The light only hits the far side of the Quad.
It had started snowing again, the snow was unwelcome and cold. I was walking back to Lowe on an overcast afternoon. The quad was empty and there was not snow in the middle, where the geese huddle in the winter. A shaft of light slipped through the clouds just above Adam’s illuminating the trees on the far side of the Quad. The snow was going in two different directions, counteracting each other and stopping time. It was one moment frozen in time, then the clouds moved and other people appeared. It had all been so quiet, I walked away thinking maybe the snow wasn’t so bad after all.

Theme: Hot
Description: I was amazed when I saw this picture, and it was even more impressive when I zoomed in on it. The way the orange sunlight filters through the clouds makes it look as if the sky is on fire, and few things in the world are hotter than fire. The stark contrast of the bright sky against the dark, quiet forest almost gives you the illusion that you’re standing on a mountain observing an enormous forest fire far away – but it’s just an optical illusion, which makes it particularly cool (or should I say hot) … (sorry for the lame joke.)

4. The entire campus is covered in a blanket of snow, and the air is swirling with more of it coming down, between that and the morning sun being diffused through thick cloud covered, everything is bathed in a grayish, sterile glow. The 10-foot statue of Benjamin Franklin (which may or may not be life sized, historians just don’t know) stands solitary in the whiteness, his dark form a contrast to the snow that has covered his features.

Theme: Cold
Description: This photo was taken last Friday right after it snowed and I was walking past the Cafe on the Quad. Everything was pure white except for the branches and a few parts of the bench which looked black, so the two contrasted greatly. Besides the fact that this photo is of snow which is obviously cold, but the blue-white lighting makes it feel cool. The sky was grey and colorless, which made the photo seem bleak. Also, the photo has an overall blueish tint which most people associate with the cold. The bench is empty and there is no person in sight, which makes it seem cold in the sense that it is a frigid and distant atmosphere.
2/8/16 – 6:00pm Student Center Hofstra Shuttle Stop
The light is a ground light in a little island with a tree in the middle of the walkway that is nearby the shuttle stop. When this moment happened, the light was buried in the snow but still on. It glowed through the snow.
The little ball of yellowish wonder that was the light shown through the snow like a porous sea sponge. The light poked happily through the pores and holes of the snow. The little fire encased by the snow was warm and comforting; its warmth and blaze was like that of a hearth at home. Although shrouded in the snow, the light was not mysterious, hidden, or imposing but rather it was inviting, charming, and marvelous in nature when compared against the other street lights and its immediate surrounding. Put up next to the darker hues or shades of the not as well-lit snow around it, the golden light only seemed more gentle and kind. Simply put, the light in this moment had a warm, homey feeling in its small gentle but not dim glow that issued from beneath the snow.

4) Description: This is a picture I took directly outside of Lowe. The trees had just collected the snow that had fallen and the sun was just starting to peek out. The light in the picture fades from gray on the outside to a brighter white in the middle. I associate this with the feeling of “cold” because of the sensory response to snow. Cold also seems to be associated with “bare” to me and while the snow is clean it also looks bare.

The gray clouds and the white-out of snow falling coming in through the window of the classroom bounces off half the desks, while the depth of the window sill cuts a sharp shadow across the row closest to the window. The light is quite bright, and monotonous across the sky, even as the constantly-moving flurries of snow provide lots of minute movement against the backdrop.
The blank, bleak fuzz of snow whirling against the bare branches of the trees is one hell of a white noise, mind-numbing static to this dreary Monday morning. Though there is a lot of energy in the flurry of snow in the air, as it falls and melts, it seems to sap any energy out of those on the ground.
