It is amazing what light can make us feel. This photo I took right after I left the ARC on campus is an example of what I mean about the mood light brings to us. I could make a dozen stories with this photo because of the lighting. In my production theory class, which I'm sure most of you are taking or have taken, we are on the light design and this quote that really drew my attention was "lighting discriminates between where the show is happening and where it is not. Lighting is the opposite of masking. It says "Look here. This is the show." Lighting helps with all sorts of story telling. What I really enjoy about this photo I randomly took is that it has sunlight but it really doesn't. This photo gives me hope, like there is something at the end waiting for me, some sunlight, even though it was clearly a grey and gloomy day. I can really relate to this photo because I am still new to Southern California and I really don't know my way around here, so for me, this literally makes me feel where I am, lost but not forgotten. I think that is why I am pretty stoked to work on our projects because I would love to share and express my feelings through lighting.
