Pictures of Moments Tell More than Thousand Words. (1)

Photographer – Zilvinas Valeika

Theme: All of the Feelings

I don’t think this photo even needs a description as to why it fits all of the feelings. This photo could be so many things. Is the dancer the past of the girl in the wheelchair? A dream she gave up on? A hope that she feels paralyzed to pursue? A hope she still holds on to despite it all? I find it interesting that the way the light hits the dancer illuminates her body and highlights the edges of her limbs, lending definition to her pose and yet leaves her face, her identity in shadow. In contrast, the girl in the wheelchair is looking into the light, her face and the one wheel of her chair catch the light as she looks on mostly from the shadows. Also, I can’t figure out why, but I get the sense that these two figures do not occupy the same reality, as though they are separated by time, or one is merely imagined.

Photo Observation #12 – Funny Feelings

Posted on May 4, 2012 by previousstudent

Theme: #allofthefeelings

This picture, to me, exhibits all of the feelings. Just from this picture I can get emotions like happiness, sadness, and even maturity. The young puppy is here to replace the older puppy. The young puppy is full of energy and can bring anyone peace, happiness, or success. The cuteness can be felt from the picture. Many pictures of funny animals can be seen as true a picture of a puppy or grown dog. These puppies contain all of the feelings. What may bring love and warmth to one person, may be seen as hyper and dangerous to another. The innocent colors, makes the puppy seem helpless. The natural lighting really reminds me that they are outside, apart of nature. The colors of Spring fill the background telling us the time period, weather, and feelings that go along with this picture. These feelings are funny.

Light Observation #12 – Hofstra Gala

Posted on May 4, 2012 by previousstudent

May 3rd, 8PM, Hofstra Gala

My friends martini began to shine in the ambient light.

I was lucky enough to be invited to Hofstra Gala, the biggest event Hofstra has every year to ensure its scholarship endowment. It was a fun night of dressing fancy and eating food that I wondered why Lackman didnt serve to us normally. Nonetheless, we entered the arena to find it completely changed and transformed. It was beautiful. There were intelligent lights that kept slowly rotating and changing gels. My friend went to get a pink martini and while she was holding it, the light was shining through the glass. The pink concoction began to glow. It seemed so pure and hopeful. It made the martini look more appetizing as well. I think light has a huge influence on food and drink. It can make us hungry or thirsty. Right away, I wanted a martini, which was a problem because it is illegal for me to consume alcoholic beverages at my age. The pink color became alive and started to dance around in her glass. It seemed like something this beautiful cannot be controlled, but there it was, in her martini glass.

This picture represents all of the feelings because there is just so much going on, and you can’t even see all of the colors with all of the feelings. The light pouring from the window creates beautiful shadows on the floor. There is something so elegant about the combination of lighting, architecture and costume in this picture, and something mysterious about her reflection in the mirror. There are just so many different things that could be happening and so many possible feelings.The possibilities of feelings are ENDLESS.

3) Theme: #Allofthefeelings

4) I believe this photograph represents #allofthefeelings, because when looking at it, I really do feel a sense of many feelings rushing in at once. This is a long exposure photograph of car lights hitting a path in the woods giving it a greenish tint with an orange sky in the background. The colors work really well together they give off an eerie feeling because they are so bright, but it is clearly late night. The picture itself seems kind of frightening, because there is a spooky path in front of the audience, but there is still an sense of excitement and wanting to explore. The creepy eeriness wants you to pull back, but the lit path draws you in, it’s a complex contrast of emotions.

Light Observation

Posted on May 4, 2012 by previousstudent

1. 4/30/12, 10:32, Bits

2. I was sitting in the glass area of bits with Athena when I put my head down on the table and looked up and the sun was shining over Athen’s head through the glass.

3. Athena, Bryan and I were eating breakfast in the front of bits with the glass are. Bryan said something that made me put my head down on the table and then Athena said something so I looked up and saw the sun right above her head. She looked like a heavenly figure with the sun right above her like that. It made me think of Joan of Ark or another martyr. It was really amazing to look at and would have made a great picture. Especially with the angle I was at.

4. This is one of the many pictures I took my freshman year during April vacation. There was a tradition while my sister was at Hofstra for her and a couple of her friends give a bunch of Hofstra people tours of Boston. Because I was now going to Hofstra I got to go so I brought my digital camera and took as many pictures as possible. I love taking pictures and as anyone who knows me well, knows that if you give me a camera I take hundreds of pictures. That day I took a few hundred in a few hours. It was the most fun I had had in a long time. So many different types of photographs I was able to take as we went from one end of Boston to the other. It was beautiful out that day so the lighting was perfect when we got to the water. I chose this one because it had really nice lighting over the water but it really makes me remember taking pictures as we walked and the beautiful day. I was with some great people and we had a great time. Every picture is a memory filled with all of the feelings of that day.

4. I love the story that this photo tells. The possibilities are endless since there are so many variable factors. To me, this girl is surprised as the light breaks the horizon catching her eyes which become the brightest area of the photo. The blurred reflection on the water also contributes to the lightness of the photo. The low angled light adds intensity to the girl due to the shadows. I think she is unsure how she feels about being discovered but has been by an authoritative figure that is somewhat interrogative. The focus is taken by her eyes and face since they are the brightest thing. This is by no means the only story this woman could have. What do you think?

Lighting Moment #12

Posted on May 4, 2012 by previousstudent

1. May 2nd 2 am Hempstead Turnpike

2. Thunderstorm clouds rolled in with bolts of lighting

3. Driving home, it had started to pour. The kind of thunder storm that shakes the ground under you.In front of me is not only the road but alot of angry sky. As I drove a few bolts connected to the ground but one stuck out. This one was directly in front of me and bright. It was a shock to my eyes that were trying desperately to digest the lights in front of me. Knowing the nature of light and the colors it can manifest into this blue beam streaking down seemed mysterious since it not only had a unique color but it somehow brightened the entire sky. Depriving eyes of intensity would also cause some sort of starvation that has been shown to work very successfully on stage. Thus this was just nature making a statement and adding variety to the lighting it already supplies us with.

Photo by me.

Theme- All of the feelings!

To say I’ve had a rough semester would be putting it lightly. It seemed that every moment I pulled myself up by the laces, something came and knocked me down again.

I was having a really hard time coming to terms with things and dealing with the schoolwork piling up, so I wasn’t looking forward to Spring Awakening tech. However, tech was exactly what I needed.

I realized how happy I was to be working on this show and the work I put into it. I was so proud of how it turned out and how lucky I was to be working on one of my favorite shows.

This is a picture of one of my favorite songs, “And Then There Were None.” Although the song is terribly depressing, because the character of Moritz feels so lost, the number is always exciting.

I managed to get this picture tonight at rehearsal of our Moritz soaring through the air after leaping off the crate he was standing on.

I guess at the beginning of this semester, I was feeling an awful lot like Mortiz (without the angst. and hair) but because of this show, I was able to pull myself out of it.

Thanks, Spring Awakening!
