Lighting Observation 2 (Week 7)
1) Wednesday at 830 pm, walking back to Nassau/ Suffolk, at the weird looking tree in the circle near the graduate housing
2) 5 or 6 street lights, casting light on me, and the tree
3) As I was walking back, I thought I saw someone walking behind me out of the corner of my eye, I turned to see it was my own shadow even though there was another in front me. It was then I noticed that I had many shadows surrounding me, created by the circular arrangement of street lights. Some of the shadows were sharp as the light was close and direct, but others were more blurred and obscure as the light was diffused through the tree. It created a very strange, almost star shaped pattern of shadows surrounding me. This was a very unnatural scene because usually I am accustomed to only seeing one shadow from one light source at a time, but this threw me off and unnerved me. It made me feel like people were following or watching me.
