1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: In the black box, student rep show week

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I was helping the designer create light for my dance piece

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: From a semester full of learning about light, how it works, what to do, what to consider, and many other thought processes, I was able to physically put my knowledge into practice for the student rep show. To see ideas flow into an assemble of systems and cues, I felt a deeper level of inspiration for dance and art. I felt a moment of gratitude for this class and what it helped me learn. I noticed how beautiful the light was in the blackbox and how cool is it to try to describe an emotion and see the light come into play. Lighting design is a beautiful thing and helps everything come to full circle.

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: Stop sign on front street.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The bright sun shining on a bright red stop sign

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Normally a stop sign would never put me in awe or fascination. The regular job for a stop sign is to simply stop a driver. However, front street is one of the worst streets in Hempstead. There are cars booming by, and normally this stop sign is always neglected. I always wondered why people would not stop for this stop sign. Then on this day, the sun was extra bright, the beam rays were at peak 10, and the stop sign has never looked more red. I drove by it and people were actually using the stop sign. The sun’s strong opacity made the stop sign a lot harder to avoid, and made people obey the law. On this day, I was very grateful for light, but without light, how to we avoid hazards?

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: Jones beach, last week, early afternoon

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sun was reflecting brightly on the waves

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The Ocean is always exposed to the sun. It has an endless supply of vitamin D. The waves move and whisper to the people on sand shining a deep blue to make any person wonder what is inside the water. However, there was something in the water this time that made me not thinking about the deep ocean, but instead the top of it. The crust of the waves, the first layer of H20. I was in awe of the top of the way because the sun was glistening. I am not sure if it was the foam produced from the waves, but the ocean was twinkling. It looked like there was glitter everywhere shining like a diamond from the sun.

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION:In my digital design class at Hofstra

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I was looking at my computer observing the designs I made for the class.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I think a light I do not often think about it from the computer. The digital light. If anything I learned from this class and the digital design class, there are the same elements for color. RBG, CMYK, how the value of the light can transform an object on the screen or in person. I look at my design and kept thinking that without digital light, then there is nothing on my screen. No emotion, no art, no linear object. Most things are created through light and how we see color.

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION:  Inside my house around midnight

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: My housemates and I were playing hide and go seek but with the lights completely off and using just out flashlights.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: It is scary to feel vulnerability. Especially when there is no light and you have no clue what is in front of you. The one light you have a single flashlight that only reveals a tiny area that is about a foot away from you. Everything is covered by blackness. Anything could be lurking around and ready to pop out and scare you. The single light because your most trust source but you still beg for more light from the fear produced without light

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: Hofstra lawn, right outside of Emily Lowe

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: the sun was low and it made shadows with the trees. The trees’ shadows were covering the lawns

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: As the sun begins to takes its rest, the last glimpse of its ray are touching the trees in front of Emily Lowe Hall; Creating a shadow or silhouette of the trees onto the lawn. I look at the lawn, and it doesn’t seem like I am on a lawn anymore. I felt like I was in a jungle, searching my way through the branches. The trees and the light made a gobo that transforms the atmosphere.

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: Car wash, Mineola, NY

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I went to a car wash where inside, there was a bunch of lights and decorations

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I let the car wash take my car in and I enjoy a ride with loud music and a show of lights. Inside felt like a carnival, there were disco lights, streaming LED lights, strobe llighs, and many other fun lights projecting onto my car. However, the coolest invention of a car wash was the creation of collaborating with the soap that gets put onto the car. All the bubbles and foam covered my windshield and the lights blended onto the soap, creating a colorful mess and variety. The lights looked like they performed, dancing and celebrating a new clean car.

1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: I driving was on the highway in the afternoon.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I was in my car driving on the highway, while a helicopter flies closely above me. It was getting closer to sunset and the helicopter’s wings creating a moving shadow.

3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: There comes a time when light does not appear to be real. I never imagined a helicopter being able to produce movement in the light. The wings of the machine were chopping the air and the sun rays that were dim for the day. The wings and the sun together created a shadow of circular movement. And never gave I see before, a helicopter creating movement with light
