Week 4: Message in a Staircase


This photo was taken at "The CAMP" in Costa Mesa. The shopping center is filled with yummy places to eat and shop. The theme here is eco-friendly and buying locally, which I find to be awesome! I've walked past this staircase once in the daylight, and while the sun did an amazing job at allowing me to read every single line, I can't help but enjoy the lighting at night.

In this photo, we can almost make out all the words, even the ones that are far away, and I believe we owe that to the wonderful side lighting that is provided. I don't know about you guys, but my eyes are automatically drawn to the words in the middle of the stair case, "READ A BOOK IN THE HAMMOCK," etc. We owe that to the proximity of the light to the words, and I like that these particular sentences receive lots of attention. I do realize that the bright green also helps in the words being legible at night, but without those lights, the words would've been hard to make out!  Also, the green keeps in theme with the idea of "being green."

Enjoy! And definitely check out this cute place!

  1. Nice image and study in light and attention - the purple is helping offset the green and the quality of light from the sidelight is bringing out the green :)
