1.) 2/11/11- 7:55 am- Quad outside Bits and Bytes
2.) Sunlight on bare tree branches, only the upper half is lit the bottom branches are still in shadow
3.) The lit tips of these branches reflect a golden light, a magical light as only a small portion of the whole tree is highlighted by the sunrise. The highlights of gold in the branches are like golden wands, a golden tree of life, reaching into the skyline, reaching into a world beyond. The bare bones of the tree transform from
2) Taken in a backyard in California.
3) Sun theme.
4) Its interersting that the sunlight drowns some of the edges of the tree. The light blinds the background of the corner of the photo as well as the some of the gaps in the tree. The sunlight actually reflects off of object and beams the portion of the tree not actually facing the sun. By drowning out some of the gaps and kind of blinding our view of the corners, it causes us to focus on the rest of the tree and below it. Also we get to focus on the darker oranges towards the top center.
2) Taken on vacation in Turks and Caicos on the beach.
3) Sun
4) This was taken on the beach, it was not as dark as it actually seems in the picture, although this was a great golden hour. It seems like the rays are popping out from all around the cloud because it cannot be contained. The picture has almost a biblical or a fictional look to it.
1) 12:00am 2/4/11- Dounkin Doughnuts parking lot
2) One car was there with frost on it user a lone flickering light.
3) In walking by the Dounkin Doughnuts in the parking lot there was one light in the middle and it was shining down on one last car in the lot. The car had been sitting there for a while because it was all frosted over. It gave a irrie feeling like you do not know what is going to happen next. The areas behind the Dounkin Doughnuts was not lit and a few times you could see shadow figures moving back and forth. The light was reflecting off the frost on the windows so you could not see who was in the car if their was someone in there at all.
1) 3:30pm 2/5/11 driving on a road adjacent to West Hampton Beach
2)Driving down the road next to beach when sun is starting to set, and is casting shadows upon everything.
3)Driving down the road adjacent to West Hampton Beach, it was later on in the day about 3:3opm the sun was starting to set. Just the positioning was amazing the way sun caste shadows gave everything a menacing feeling. It felt like a horror movie in a way. The atmosphere was aided by the empty beach parking lots and closed up lifeguard towers. As the farther I drove there was close to no one there at all.

Objective Description: nightlight in the kitchen onto the box of cookies I was after.
Subjective Description: on my nighttime voyage for snacks, I noticed the nightlight on the counter. It was facing down and was the only light on in the whole house. Directly under this single white beam of light was a bag of Pepperidge farm cookies. As the bag was being lit from above, flickering, it became more defined. This ominous glowing made a halo effect. And just as important as the light, was the darkness. The other snack food on either side of this holy bag of cookies was just shy of hitting the light, and could only be seen by the silhouetted against the back wall. This effect made it appear as if the less important snacks were in these cookies shadows. After I saw this “light moment” I proceeded to eat a cookie… it was delicious.

Objective Description: harsh blue sun light on bottles of soap
Subjective Description: As I was hanging out in my bathroom early one morning, I was blinded by the harsh blue sunrise coming from the window. Although the paneling effect from the blinds was interesting I was looking past it to find a more impressive “lighting moment”. As the light with harsh edges past the translucent shower door it began to spread out to a more respectable area. This made my eyes focus more on the bottles of soap that were being lit from the top/right side in back. The shadow cast made a perfect silhouette, telling it was a soap bottle, without fully defining itself. The blue wavy effect from the lights path made me feel as if I was in an ocean.

3) THEME: THE SUN
4) DESCRIPTION: Total solar eclipse. The sun is blotted it and all that is left are rays jutting out around the black pit in the center. It is scary that the sun, which we need so much, can be reduced to this hole in the sky. It looks like the center of a sunflower; the black hole being the center of the flower and rays shooting outwards as the petals. The sun in this picture holds power still, but seems weak, and more destroyable than I want it to be.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Dark. The lamp I’m sitting under has gone out. The lighting is adequate, however none of it is focused towards me, all of it is spill. It is dark outside the windows.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION:
The light is barely on me, and I feel like without any focus from the light, I can barely be noticed. I know this is not the case, and it is not actually too dark, but because the areas around me are much better lit, I feel like I am in a different place than that which is shaped by the light around me.

2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light is completely fluorescent. It is bright white. It lights the entire room. Some orange light spills in from a lamp outside, but it is washed out other than right by the windows.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light seems harsh and unfriendly. However, it is, more than anything else, neutral. This light neither adds to nor takes away from the room, and illuminates everything equally. It is the perfect light for rehearsal, as it holds little weight other than to make everything visible; a function it fulfills well.
