Lighting Observation
1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 3 am, the neighbors house behind me, last tuesday
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light was coming from a single window at m neighbors house directly behind my house. I am assuming it was the laundry room.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I wake up in the middle of night to complete darkness. I am confused and half asleep from my slumber but a curioisity takes over my cloudy mind. I turn my head to look at the window and see my neighbors window. It was so dark outside that I could not even see the house. But what I did see was an orange square glooming through the earyness. The single light created a story in my head. Imagining my neighbor doing late night laundry and forgets to turn the light off. I think my head was going through a series of thinking and questioning; Probably the same thinking my neighbor went through to then forget to turn the light off. The orange souffle color of a light gave me enough energy to tire my eyes, lay back down, and doze off back to sleep.

WHEN? March 26th, 2021
WHERE? Hofstra dorm
OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: light shining through the blinds of my dorm window
SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The white light stamped across my sight, I lay on my sheets as the tiger strips cross my lips. The parallel lines coat my paintings and warm my room leaving a haze in my gaze.

Light Observation
- WHEN/WHERE: Midnight, March 24th 2021, my bedroom
- OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The only lights on are my roommate’s fairy lights which are on one half of the room.
- SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The room is as dark as night except for a few twinkling stars. The warm yellow glow is not so bright as it keeps me from falling asleep, but just light enough to allow me to wind down with ease without being sucked into blackness. This cozy wash of light reminds me of lying outside and looking at a starry sky, minus the cold.
Light Observation
WHEN? March 26th, 2021
WHERE? Hofstra Campus
OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Sun casting shadows of trees onto the grass
SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The warmth of the sun touching my skin, the trees overhead rustling in the wind. I duck underneath the branches, finding a retreat from the day within the shadow cast along the grass. Yet I still see sun, just one step beyond the shade.
Lighting Observation
1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 3/25/2021 – 6:30pm – Uniondale
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The sunlight is dispersed through the clouds as it begins to set, creating a salmon ring that can be seen through the clouds. The clouds soften the light blurring the light.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light tries creeping it’s way to me, filtered by the clouds, stopping it from brightening the world and tinting the sky. The clouds soften the usually blinding light of the sun, creating a gentle, pastel color, making the two a perfect pair and creating a sense of calmness.
Photo Observation 7
This is an ad for Taco Bell when they were selling “Double Stacked Tacos”
Theme : Advertisement/Desire
This is an ad for limited edition tacos. The light is set up to make it appear that they are on a stage being showcased. It appears as though there is a light hitting it from overhead as well as in the front of where they’re facing. The tacos look great.
Photo Observation 6
This photo was taken by me on May 24th, 2020 on Hofstra’s campus.
Theme : Spring
This is a picture of freshly bloomed flowers at the peak of the day when the sun is almost straight above. The light is hitting them directly, allowing them to nearly glisten. The angle of the light perfectly models the flowers and adds contrast to their shape.
