Lighting Observation (Overdue from last week)
Location: Times Square 7AM – Friday
Objective: Right around sunrise, my friend and I got off the bus at 42d Street and 8th Avenue. The whole sky was pink and orange and left a pink tint on the cars and on people’s skin. There were also the huge lights from buildings and signs in Times Square.
Subjective: The lighting created a contrasting feeling. The pink and orange sky seemed created a warm, calm, and early morning feel. However, the big bright lights from the buildings made the light very abrupt and it did not feel like morning. Together, it felt like both types of lighting created dissonance.
