3) THEME: Sunrise/Sunset
4) DESCRIPTION: The snow sits upon the trees illuminated by the last light of day. The sun still shines bright, its light peeking through the trees even as the light fades into night. Blues, pinks, oranges, and yellows mingle together, their pastel gradient gives a sense of peace and calmness. Everything is quiet yet so bright. Sunsets in the snow leave a subtle smile on those around.
DATE/TIME/LOCATION: 2/10/2021 – 2:51 – My kitchen window in Uniondale, NY
OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I am standing in my kitchen cleaning the dishes when I look out my window. Bright, white snow is blanketing the ground, perfectly untouched except for the small pawprints of animals. Although bright, the light cannot reach inside of the molded snow. Wispy, stringy clouds diffuse the sunlight as it filters through the leaves of a tree, turning it pastel. A long, skinny shadow flows out of the pine tree.
SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: This moment evoked curiosity within me. I can only assume that those prints are from little critters, but I wouldn’t know a raccoon print from a squirrel print. There is discomfort that comes with not knowing what is so close to the place you sleep. Can it get in? In addition, the sun can’t quite reach in the holes of the prints, darkening them and adding to the mystery. Curiosity also comes from how the sunlight leaks through the clouds and trees to reflect off the snow and light our world in a candied yellow. Its brightness is aweing.
1) Photo was taken by me. It is the sunset on a bay in Cape May, NJ
2) THEME: Sunset/Sunrise
3) DESCRIPTION: The sun glistens over the horizon, peeking through flat clouds, wishing a good night to the creatures that live below and kissing the still water as a good morning to the nocturnal beauties arising. Shading the path in the grass, it gates the bay in safety, keeping strangers out with its coming darkness. The light still remaining ripples down the center of the water– a sparkling path to the land. Its amber beam splits the bay, radiating a salmon glow that gradates into a purplish-blue. The lavender and blushing streaks of sky will soon make way for black as the setting sun says its last goodbyes.

I took this photo in January of 2021 on my way home from Myrtle Beach, SC. (So this picture was taken somewhere in SC.)
3) THEME: Sunset/Sunrise
4) DESCRIPTION: The sun always manages to fight through its cloudy roadblocks in order to brighten the sky. Amber glows bright and warm amidst the continually darkening skies. A layered farewell before the night sweeps across the golden light.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Lighting of a seating area
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION:
The glowing bubbles above the heads of students cast a soft amber hue across the room. The glare reflects up from the glazed dark wooden floors. Bodies cast soft shadows among the dark auburn leather seats. The dark corners of the room are left dim from the yellow-ish hue that glosses the room.
DATE/TIME/LOCATION: 2/5/21 / 3:57 PM / Mall Parking Lot
OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Light on the snow casting shadows.
SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The white snow pure except for the gravel, gasoline and other gross resources brought to you by humans. The mound leering over my car as I pull up closer and closer to it. Imperfectness plagues this snow heap as we see in the disturbed surface. Indents and objects casting a hazy filter of blue over those places the sun can’t quite reach. I sit there for a moment, amazed at the beauty and confused by the question: Is it soft or hard? The world may never know as I drive off, still thinking of that forbidden snow cone.

The crystal salt lamp glows in my bedroom window. It makes the white curtains shine orange against the dark blue sky in the window. The lamp is not strong enough to light an entire room, nor an entire corner. But anything within a 4 foot radius has a highlighted creamsicle hue. It provides warmth and comfort to the harsher colors in my room.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Driving through a tulip farm at sunset
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I loved to just get outside and do something especially being all cooped up during quarantine. it was fun to drive through and see the flowers during sunset. I got some great pictures with my camera of the lighting going through some of the petals of the flowers as well as reflecting off the lake in the background.
