Light Observation #2
DATE/TIME/LOCATION: 2/14/2021 – 1:00 pm – Rivaaz, Indian restaurant in Pequannock, NJ
OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light is leaking through the curtain, providing a slim amount of natural light. It is a huge difference from the bright, cool lighting reflecting off the snow from the outside. The white light from the fixtures in the restaurant is bright for 1 pm on Valentine’s Day, but the warmer than the light outside, highlighting the yellow walls and orange tables.
SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The crisp winter air pushes you through the door, allowing warmer lighting to warm you. As soon as I walked in, I felt comfortable, despite the entryway being physically almost the same temperature as the outside. There was not a huge gust of heated air, but the warmth of artificial light was enough to warm up to. The light provided a homey feeling after surviving the winter cold and the blinding, reflected light from the outdoors.
