1) April 30th, 2026 around 7:30 (Outside of the student center)
2) I was walking out of the student center with some friends when my friend noticed that the sun was hitting the Bill of Rights at a beautiful angle It matched the brightness in the sky as we continued to walk
3) As the semester comes to an end, it made me think about the next day to come. As the days inch closer, the lighting reminded me of summer and how close the summer is to now.
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: While watching “The Death of a Salesman” at the Winter Garden Theater last night the lighting struck me as a major component of the storytelling. The cool, grey lights were used to show the current time while the warm/golden light was used to represent hope, memories, and happiness of the Loman family.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light conveys the memories and dreams of Willy Loman. It is his hope for his sons and his memories of when he was fulfilled by what he does. The warm, golden lights shining on the car to make it seem freshly painted and cleaned, creating a stunning red. While in the cool, grey lights it seems old and weathered, as if it too is tired.
1. April 30th, 2026 – 7:15 Pm – Walking outside of Hager Hall
2. The soft light peaking out from the dark gloomy sky after the very grey day was very beautiful and made me very happy and at peace after a very interesting week.
3. As this was the last lighting observation of the semester I really took it into consideration and really took it in. It was very peaceful and relaxing to look at and made me look back at the semester and the growth I experienced along the way.
April 16th, 2026 – Netherlands North
I chose this photo due to the warm lighting hitting both the ground, and the tree. The shadows on the ground due to the tree interested me, and I liked the composition of the photo as well. I find spring and summer closely intertwined, and although some may say this photo is more springlike, I believe that the lighting encapsulates the feeling of running towards summer.
August 9, 2025; Ferry from Vashon to West Seattle
I took this photo in august of last year. My friends and I were taking a ferry home from Vashon at 5:30 in the morning because we spent the whole night up in Vashon just wandering around and walking on the beach. This photo represents summer to me because summer is all about making memories and being free from the things that would normally keep you busy (school, work, etc.) Summer is where you get to travel and see things you normally miss. I’ve seen a lot of sunrises being in Seattle during the winter but this was one of the few summer sunrises I have ever seen and it holds a special place in my heart. I love the way the sky is a gradient of red to purple as the sun is slowly rising over the water.
July 4th 2024, 9:23pm, the end of the Ventnor board walk NJ
Theme: Summer
I took this picture while watching the 4th of July fireworks with my friend. This is a tradition that we do every year. The firework bursting out reminds me of the that feeling I get sitting there every year. Happy and excited and calm all at once. That truly exemplifies summer for me.
July 3rd. 2025 at 8:20 pm outside of my apartment in Brooklyn
Theme: Summer
I took this photo outside of my balcony in Brooklyn because I liked how almost saturated the colors looked. Compared to how the summer skies look in general, it was a bit more gloomy outside that day. However since this was taken pretty late in the day, this is showing the sky around 30 minutes before the sun goes completely down. I was happy because for months, the sky was always so gloomy and the temperature was always wishy- washy. But this day was particularly nice because my family was getting ready for the 4th of July the next day so we went outside and sat for a bit, allowing us to relax for even just a little while.
3/28/2026 Central park 6:38pm
Summer
Taken on a bridge in the south part of central park overlooking the city, after the sun had begun to set. For me this encapsulates everything I want my summer to be, the warm lights over the city with an expanse of trees and water to accompany it. This is the view I’m hoping to attain next summer but that means I’ll have to work for it this summer.
