Light Observation
1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: March 19th 2021, 8:55PM, Constitution Hall booth, on facetime with my best friend.
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light coming from my best friends phone and shining on his face.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The bright artificial light shines on my best friends cheeks, nose and forehead, casting the rest of his face in shadow. The artificial light continues to change hue, from red to blue to white. Each color creates different highlights and shadows on his face. The contrasting colors represent the alternating society in which we live in, constantly dictated by the everchanging nature of social media and technology.
Lighting Observation
1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 3/17/21- 3:00 pm- Shapiro Family Hall- Blackbox
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: When my friend and I walked into the black box because he had forgotten something there, it was completely dark and we needed our flash lights.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Stepping into a blackness that completely envelopes you. You cannot see your own limbs and who knows where the edge of the floor comes to an abrupt halt. A few lights pulled out to fight the darkness and the white light bounces all around the room and off objects. It feels like a dangerous quest, for something as small as a laptop charger.

Attribution: this photo was taken by me in the Louis Vuitton museum in Paris in March.
Theme: Spring
Description: A random sculpture already has its essence of spring. The colors, the aesthetic, the little things that resemble spring. But the indirect light from the shading of the whole building gives the sculpture a nice light warm glow. The light is toned from the yellow but gives a light breezy glow to illuminate the colors.

Photo Observation
WHERE? Delaware River in Walton, NY
THEME: Spring
DESCRIPTION: Days are getting longer and in the sun I stay. Wading in the river as nights turn to days. The glowing yellow and orange warmth of the sun reflects on the water, it’s light intertwined with the rippling river, dragging the sun slowly out to sea.

- ATTRIBUTION: photo taken by me in mid-June 2020 at my boyfriend’s house in San Francisco.
- THEME: Spring
- DESCRIPTION: The sky may not be completely clear, but it is as bright and blue as ever. The sunlight shines on the leaves and brings out their vibrant green colors in a way that makes you appreciate trees so much more. Even though it is not fall, there are leaves of many shades. The shadows that land on the tree climber allow him to almost blend in with the branches.

2) Attribute the Photo, tell us where it came from.
This is a photo I took of my dog last March (2020).
3) THEME: Spring
4) DESCRIPTION:
The sun has emerged to stay and its inhabitants soak in its spreading rays. The playful beings bound about in the bright green grass and sniff around in the fresh dirt and crisp air. The sweet smell of budding flowers and growing trees. Sun covers all and wraps its warmth across blue skies and bright colors.

2) ATTRIBUTES: This photo was taken by me on March 5th 2021 at 11:42AM. Pictured is one of my prized possessions: Hue: The Hague House Plant.
3) THEME: Spring
4) DESCRIPTION: The photo represents the beginning of spring: a small succulent ready to grow into a strong plant once the spring weather hits. The morning sun shines on the tiny plant and illuminates half of the pot while casting the other half in a soft shadow. The contrasting light represents the transition from a dark, cold winter into a bright, warm spring.

3) THEME: Spring
4) DESCRIPTION: Golden sun rays bleed through the spaces between leaves, woods, and air, making its way to raise growing flowers and grass. With every second, nature gets greener. Blades shaded know they will get their attention as the sun moves throughout the day, coating the Earth’s floor, moving around the shadows of the tall trees that soak in the light. The grass the light hits is tinted by the light’s amber tinge, showing off a new, fresh season.
