Photo Observation

3) THEME: Nightlife

4) DESCRIPTION: In this photo, the lighting is dark and there are a lot of shadows. To me, nightlife sounds both exciting and seedy. Somewhere in between what Las Vegas looks like on a pamphlet, and what Las Vegas feels like at midnight- the streets covered in images of half dressed women, trash scattered, and the heat bearing down. This images captures the duality of nightlife. Pn the one hand, the food and drinks are well lit; highlighting the pleasantries of a speakeasy. On the other hand, the characters in this speakeasy are obscured; hinting that they have something to hide (which they did).
