Lighting Observation #10- Don’t text during dinner. It’s rude.
1. April 8th 2012, 5PM, North Jersey -Grandma’s House
2.Objective: I was eating Easter dinner when my phone illuminated behind my glass of water. The water was glowing a strong aqua blue.
3.Subjective: Hopefully everyone had a great Spring Break. I stayed here. On campus. Alone. With no friends. Luckily my grandmother only lives an hour away in North Jersey so I went there for Easter. So I was texting on my phone when my grandmother came over, hit me with a wooden spoon and told me to stop texting. She then filled my glass of water and placed it in front of me. My phone then received a text message and the screen illuminated the water. The water was glowing a bright, crisp blue. It was such an amazing observation that my violent Italian grandmother found it interesting and did not hit me. The condensation on the outside of the glass was very noticeable and detailed with the backlight. The water soaked up the light like a sponge. I think it would be interesting to test out different colors. The blue made the water seem pure and flawless. The water seemed more appetizing just because of a lighting effect. It was calming yet so spectacular. Until my grandmother hit me upside the head for texting.
