Nightlife.
Bright colors in a variety of neon hues illuminate the near-black backdrop of the sky. This image of Bangkok at night illustrates a bustling nightlife filled with crazy adventures. The soft glow surrounding each bright, piercing neon sign reflects of off every surface, weaving a multi-colored fantasy of adventures waiting to happen.
Photo by me, taken in Brooklyn, NY on January 1st 2016
Theme: Night Life
On New Years Day, just past midnight, a couple of friends and I went onto the rooftop of the apartment building and set off the extra sparklers I had forgotten were in my car. Night life can be about celebrating, often using “fun” light effects to enhance the mood of the situation. Everything from funky disco balls, to LEDs, to sparklers and fireworks on holidays. Also us humans aren’t afraid of the dark and we like to show it off by exuding a butt-ton of light pollution to prove our point.
Monday February 1st, 2016, a little after 10pm, Lowe 110
Objective: Light shining in through the windows, casting large, rectangular swatches of light across an otherwise completely dark room. They are different colors and shades from the lights outside the windows and the varying color temperatures.
Subjective: One of my favorite parts of rehearsal is the moment after everyone has left, the room is clean, the rehearsal report has been sent, and I turn back and look at the empty room with a sense of calmness. I flicked off the bright fluorescent lights, only to find the beautiful long swaths of light, enough that the room is still dark but that you can see the figures in the room in silhouette and the lines of the floorboard illuminated. I stand back and admire the room, seeing the stark contrast between Lowe 110 when it is filled with the sight and sounds of rehearsal versus only moments after everyone has left the room.
Date: December 4th Time: 6 pm Location: Vander Poel Hall
Objective Description: The light that is featured is the sun slowly beginning to twilight as it sets.
Subjective Description: The faint light from the sun flows into the blue from the sky, and I love how the street lights from the ground illuminates up towards the sky giving a base for the yellow as it goes into red, and inevitably into the blue as the clouds clump overhead.

Description: This is a photo I took on a bus trip down to DC last semester. I used the long exposure on my camera to capture the colors of the headlights going past in combination with the sun setting in the background. The whites and ambers really pop against the silhouetted background and are only further added to by the orange and gold hues in the sunset in the background. I liked how this imaged captured the hustle and bustle of DC at rush hour, showing everyone trying to get to wherever they were going to experience their own nightlife while I made my way to mine.

Description: So, what struck me about this photo was the lack of color. Something about the entire photo being in black and white makes me feel more immersed with the nightlife theme. Also, the oncoming cars emitting the white light causing the streaks, was read by me as showing the busy nature of living in the city.

Location: Radio City Music Hall
Objective Description: Driving into the city, various lights can be seen through the car window. Headlights, taillights, street lamps, traffic lights, bicycle lights, marquee lights, billboard lights, and store display lights all seem to flood any and every section of the city. However, once we approached Radio City Music Hall, the bright glow of the Christmas lights covering the trees next to the magnificently lit water fountain held my attention. We first passed by the same exact type of tree covered in red which gave me a really uneasy feeling. Then, however, we reached the the section of trees with the traditional white lights and the effect was more calming. The source of light was simply the Christmas stringlights and the lit water fountain.
Subjective: The massive concrete buildings reaching into the dark nigh sky glowed warm with an inviting white tint. The soft beams bouncing off of the pavement revealed a welcoming glimmer from the amiable stings of white lights hugging the trunks and branches of each proud tree. A collection of trees dressed eloquently as if a masquerade was to prompt each tree to dance. Extreme joy and excitement filled the air as the glamorous glow from each individual adorned with the sparkling strings of light gently greeted each guest. Flashes could be seen by spectators anxious to take pictures with the famous trees. A pool of light blue, shimmering water danced triumphantly as fountains of white light and foaming blues took center-stage, adjacent to its charismatic friends. The party of the century.

DESCRIPTION: This is at Hollywood Studios at Disney World. Two years ago. This is a Christmas light display that wraps around the second half of the park. When you turn the color and see this display you have to stop in your tracks and take in everything. When people turn the corner, everyone stops in their tracks and takes in this beautiful site and just stand there in awe. This year was the last year they did the display and I am glad that this event had such a big impact on me.

Description: When I think of night life, I think of going out and doing something fun and exciting – like a concert! This is a picture taken at a Coldplay concert during the Mylo Xyloto tour (2011-2012). The neon, laser-like lights perfectly capture the energetic mood of the event. When you see lights like this, you know your night is going to be anything but dull.
