Week 2: Spotlight

When I walked into my apartment after the Welcome BBQ at Verano Place yesterday, I was astonished by this mysterious spot light effect that welcomed ME home ;) I love the fact that the lighting seemed to be hiding something from my while bringing something else to my attention at the same time. Coming from a lively event right outside of my door, entering into my apartment to this lighting completely changed my mood, I suddenly became focused and interested in what was in the line of the light: it seemed to highlight the tiny fall decorations I bought (little pumpkin and little statue sitting at the edge of the counter). I appreciated the fact that there was a sense of mystery in the room. With this lighting, I also realized that I am drawn to shades and shadows in opposition to other things being revealed.
(PS: This lighting came about by the evening sun entering the room through a small opaque window I have in the living room. )

  1. What an intriguing image! Loved how you situated the image in how you came across it. It made an even more mysterious impact.

  2. Great image and great instruction on how light can tell us where to look, give enlightenment while still making us lean in to see what else there is
