Attributes: Taken Tuesday night at the Bowery Ballroom
Theme: Summer
Description: I went to a Peter McPoland concert this week, and the lighting was really awesome throughout the whole show. This one moment in particular I thought fit the theme of summer really well. The amber beams coming from above mimic sun rays shining through trees, and the red of the front light gives off the energy of the summer heat.
Google image of Rehoboth Beach Boardwalk
I chose this photo because this is summer to me. The boardwalk in Rehoboth is just about the only place to go in the summer that isn’t just a beach, and I spend 6 out of the 7 days a week working here. There is a serenity yet a lot of movement in this photo. There may be no people crowded like normal but the orange clouds in the sky feel like a swarm of people rushing in and the blue sky is being trampled by it yet remains beautiful. The white lights of the street lamps draw focus because of their lack of color. The iconic Dolle’s sign is a pop of dark orange next to the peach color of the sky, creating a nice contrast.

4) DESCRIPTION: This photo reminds me of all the summer days I spent lying on a beach with the sun in my eyes. Even if I closed my eyes, the sun was so bright that it would give my eyelids an orange tint. The sun is also reflecting off of the water, making it even brighter.
1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 5/2 – 11:43 PM – Colonial Square, New York House
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The light was on in the hallway but not the bathroom or the bedroom.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: As I walked from the bathroom to my bedroom to go to sleep in my first night of quarantine in the new and unfamiliar room, I noticed the light coming from the hallway, and the absence of it in the bathroom and bedroom. Emotionally, it signified my transition from the crazy day I had had where I had no control over what was happening next to the week of venturing into the unknown that I have ahead of me. Covid is still a relatively new disease, especially to me since I have never had it before, and while this week may be scary, I still have to enter the dark room and go on with my life until I can finally go through the door that takes me back into the outside world.
DATE – TIME – LOCATION : April 29, 2022 at 11:36 am, Jones Beach
OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION : The sky is clear blue, and the sun is brightly reflecting off the ocean. The wind blows the sand around, creating a haze-like illusion.
SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION : The dusted sand creates the feeling of extreme heat as it blurs the vision of the ocean. Replicating an almost heat stroke like mirage, the sand distorts the view of the vast expanse before me. The bright blue of the sky flows uninterrupted by even a single cloud, making me feel at ease, staring into the vast expanse. Both the ocean and the sky seem to lead on forever. The washed natural lighting of the sun leaves not a single shadow behind. It is as if the space continues on forever. There is nothing to worry about, and I am able to relax, knowing that whatever troubles that I may have can be ignored for the next few hours.
4/28/22 – 10:41 am – Netherlands Core
Objective: looking out the big windows in the Netherlands core is a perfect view of a tree with pink flowers and green trees around it in the natural sunlight. The comparison between the sunlight shining in and the artificial lighting of the core highlights the pink of the tree.
Subjective: An ocean of pink flowers surrounded by greenery pops in the beautiful beams of sunshine. From the inside looking out into this isolated, magnificent tree I am envious. This tree is the one getting admired every day while the others fade into the distance. The light makes this tree pop and noticeable while the others simply create shade. This tree is made of magic and sparks creativity, and all the other trees highlight its beauty.
Theme: Wild Card
Attributes: I took this photo at 7:12pm on April 17th at home
Description: I like all of the different soft shadows and geometric shapes. There is a beaded bird hanging on the lamp that is also reflecting the light. I just find all of the different lines on the wall to be exciting and also a bit confusing because there wasn’t more than one light source in the room- only a window to the right so I wouldn’t have expected the shapes being created.
