This is a photo from summer of 2020 when I was visiting my friend in New Hampshire.
3) THEME: Summer
4) DESCRIPTION:
The surrounding darkness creates suspicions that rain is on the way. When it comes, there’s no way of stopping it, so why not enjoy it? After all the storming and thundering comes light, excitement, and beautiful colors. Picture-worthy moments along with sights you’d have never gotten to see otherwise.
1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 4/26/21- 7:00 pm
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Walking back to my dorm from the Student Center as the sun was setting and shining through the trees.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Orange light pushes through the trees, their branches, and their leaves. As it does it casts a patterned glow onto the building ahead. Foliage playfully shadowed on this manmade structure.

This is a photo my friend took of me in 2018.
3) THEME: Wild Card
4) DESCRIPTION:
A soft face surrounded by stark darkness. The shadows sweep and shroud as much as possible. And yet, a small light manages to harmonize with the shadows in order to create a fanstastical photo. Simplicity at its finest. Two girls, a camera, a light, and some darkness.
1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 4/20/21- 5:00 pm
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I was in my dorm hallway when I noticed the light from the windows in the lounge was being casted through the doorway.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Nearing the end of the day, the light shines as brightly as it can before the sun continues its steady procession towards its vanishing. As it marches on, the windows capture that light and throw it all around the room, aiming for the nooks and crannies of the area. Light carries straight until it is cast through the door, creating a rectangular shape on the hallway floor.
1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 4/16/21- 2:00 pm
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: I was on the second floor of Lowe in the women’s bathroom when I noticed light coming in from the window.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: The frosted window bathes the bathroom in a soft glow. The harsh light from the sun tries to penetrate the blurred window but only a kind shine makes it through. The warmth, the brightness, the color are all there but slightly muted by the window’s protective frost.
1) DATE-TIME-LOCATION: 4/7/21- 10:00 am
2) OBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: It was raining on and off and I was in Lowe 106 during my Speech class.
3) SUBJECTIVE DESCRIPTION: Rain drops sit on the window, sparkling as the sun pokes in and out of view. Dazzling reflections in the tiniest of droplets. Scattering bursts of light in so many directions. The glass of the window is home to these lost spots of rain.

This is a photo I saw in a Tik Tok about places in your dreams.
3) THEME: Surreal
4) DESCRIPTION:
In my dream I often go no where, run around in circles with no place to go. The light is unnaturally even. No shadows or highlights. Just bright white light from every direction. The white light. A subject of human consideration. Running around, seeking the natural in a world created in my head.
1) A Fall sunset in Vermont
A fall sunset in Vermont in my mind means lots of warm tones due to the leaves and the bright sun as it sets. I chose a gobo and used green and red for the foliage. The cyc lights are meant to look like the sun, and the subject is covered in hues of orange and yellow.
2) Easter sunrise in a Gothic Cathedral
Gothic cathedrals are infamous for their stained glass windows that seem to glow during sunrise and sunset. I wanted to capture that energy as much as possible in my use of the window gobo. Additionally, sunrises typically have elements of soft yellows and oranges, but they also have the remaining cool tones left from the night disappearing, hence my use of purple on the cyc.
3) Noon on a hot Summer day in the Caribbean
The Caribbean has lots of vibrant blues and greens between the sky, water, and foliage. I chose to use the cyc to represent the sky, and the gobos to show the plants and water. Additionally, noon is one of the hottest times of the day and especially in tropical areas it shines quite brightly, which is why I used the direct yellow light to shine straight down on the subject.
4) Winter afternoon just before the snow
Right before a snow storm, it is usually bleak and full of gray. I used different shades of gray, white, and blue in order to create the feeling of the coolness before snow. Additionally, I used a cloud gobo in order to further the effect of an overcast sky during winter.

This is a photo that my friend took of me during my graduation photos.
3) THEME: Inspiring
4) DESCRIPTION:
On the same stage 10 years later, just as much appreciation for the space that felt like the world the first time I performed. The warmest of atmospheres that heats my heart. On to the next chapter but first a thankfulness for the lights that hid the audience when I did not know yet how to enjoy their presence.
