Lighting Observation #1
1) Thursday Feb. 3 2011, 12:00 P.M.
2) The noon-time sun reflecting off the snow in front of Constitution Hall.
3) The sun at noon was strong, and my eye was unaccustomed to the brightness after days of cloud cover. Walking out of my building, I was struck by the brightness of the sun reflecting off the snow. The light-colored brick of the graduate building caused the whole scene to blend together. It felt abrasively cold (emotionally speaking) and very jarring. The brightness felt out of place in an area as developed and urban as Hempstead.
