I’m from Maryland so I grew up seeing these lights many nights. I like this image a lot for a few reasons. The most obvious is the reflection of the lights on the water. I also love the way you can see the state house illuminated by blue light below and standing out against the brighter yellows from the busy section of town.

I took this picture at a Delaney Bailey concert in the city last semester. We were very close to her, and it was a very intimate venue, so the darker lighting really added to the energy. The dark and vibrant lighting helped to draw attention to the focal point on stage and eliminated the background distractions. The lighting here made me think of the nightlife theme because it reminded me of club/party lighting, although it was at a casual concert. The vibrant red and purple lights added to the fun, playful environment.
This is a photo I took on February 13th at a concert at The Paramount. Something about the color purple just always reminds me of “night life”, and even if a photo is taken during the day but has hints of purple lighting, it very much signifies night time for me. The dark shadows on the saxophone player also create a feeling that it is night time.
Photo from pinterest. I like this image as it illustrates the more secluded and intimate with only one warm light. It gives a sense of reality of “night life” being a moment of comfort and unwinding from the day.
This photo was taken by me at a club called Somewhere Nowhere. This is my favorite club because you get to see the beautiful skyline, and there is a lot of disco balls and other lighting aspects that create cool lighting concepts around the entirety of the room.

This is a picture I took this past December when I went to see the Rockettes at Radio City Music Hall. This picture is a good representation of what I like to do when I partake in nightlife. Although it is dark out, the bright lights of Radio City and the skyscrapers around it light up the night, and the streets are still bustling with people. NYC is called the city that never sleeps, and the juxtaposition of the dark sky and the bright lights accurately portrays this nickname.

There are multiple lights lit up in the surrounding area, making the energy of the space feel alive. Usually when it is dark out, it is the brain sign to go to bed and recharge, unless you are nocturnal. But with the lights in the water fountain, the street lights, and the pizza joint, this makes the scenic view not closed out.
Location: St. Matthew’s Church, Conneticut (on a film shoot)
Time: 2/25/24 1:00pm
Objective: Sunbeams show through light haze inside of a church, creating overlapping beams with areas of light and shadow.
Subjective: Yellow spears pierce through the air. The whole of the room holds its light like a cool, each moment closeley held with mist. You’d feel compressed if not for the lightness that eminates from your chest. The cool air and the warm light intermix in a symphony and in a church you see god.
2/26/24 – 9:07 PM – Friend’s House
Objective: The string lights hung are the only light in the room, and are set to a light blue/green color. The color drains out some of the other colors in the objects around the room, but bright yellows and oranges are still visible.
Subjective: As the world outside was dark, these lights provided an interesting take on the room before me. I saw colors, yet not so vibrant as they may appear during the day. While one may find this choice eerie, it was strangely calm, as the pops of color still visible reminded me of their normal appearance.
2/22 – 5:17pm – Sitting in my car outside my house
Objective description: The whole sky is clouded over, and it is beginning to rain. The sun is nowhere in sight, and everything is a darker, grey color.
Subjective description: It looks and feels very bleak outside. The dark grey color of the sky makes everything feel very small and sad. I am in a good mood, but going outside makes me feel sullen and reminds me that it is still winter.
