sunset in Jamaica (Treasure Beach), 2024.
the bright, warm toned sun peaks through and under the clouds, and reflects beneath the ocean bellow. The light is the clear, main focus of the picture- as it’s front and center of the picture. The cool tones of the foam from the ocean and the clouds above (in the front of the photo) frames the bright light too, which further emphasizes the light.
1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 2/9/26, 8pm, Lowe 106
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: the large room is lit by bright, cool/neutral toned overhead lights. occasionally car headlights will shine in through the windows from the parking lot outside, but not often.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The lights are stark, and seem to replicate lighting like a hospital room, however it is not unsettling or uncomfortable. It is clear the room is meant to be used productively, rather then a room meant for relaxation that might be lit by warmer, dimmer tones.
Many small Christmas lights strung around the border of my room at the top of the walls. They light up my room.
I put up these lights on the day I moved into this room almost 2 years ago now. They have always given off warm, welcoming glow. They’re dim and have never completely lit up the room. There has been times where things have been hard to find or visualize due to the lack of light shining from my favorite lights, but I didn’t mind. I love the lowlight peaceful feeling that the lights create. Over the past few months many of the little bulbs have been burning out and it’s starting to create the feeling that the life of the room itself is dying, and in a way, it is. I will be moving out in 3 months and warm, sweet lights of my surprisingly large room will fade and the chapter of it being my home will close with it. The lights, or rather the growing lack of lights, perfectly suit this moment in time.
1) 2/6/2026 – 10:13pm – Outside of HofstraUSA
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The street lamps around Hofstra USA and Dutch Treats and the interior of the two buildings. The streetlights were cooler toned, whereas the interior lighting of the dining halls was warm. The light reflected off of the snow and ice on the ground and the snow falling in the sky. Occasionally, a car would drive by on the street supplying more light to see with.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The cooler lights of the lampposts outside of Hofusa aid to the low temperature of the nighttime snow fall that is occurring. Despite standing on the street waiting for the night shuttle, I can see into HofUsa and Dutch Treats. Warm light pools out of the windows and doors, showing me the relief that I might feel by stepping into the heated dining hall. The occasional car that drives by raises my hopes that it might be the shuttle to take me out of the cold.
