week 1: view from the freeway -Maisie

So, this was the view from the 605 early in the morning. I was still half asleep as I was looking at it. The rays of light set up my expectations to see a heavenly being fall from the sky. I felt serene and tranquil, even with 7 A.M. traffic zipping by. Even though the sky is not fully lit, the intensity and color made me feel happy. Maybe because this is such an unusual sky (at least for me because I am not normally up this early), but it inspired me to be in a good mood, if that makes sense.

    Beautiful photo and nice post. For the next guided post in week 4, make sure to include the word (inspiration in this post) to the subject line. Nice connections between light and your emotions.

Week #9 - Jackie - Comforting Moment's at my Tia's house

Image
This week I went home for the holiday break and I got to spend much needed quality time with my family :) During this break, my aunt and I went to go check on on my great aunt’s house since her, my mom, and my Grandparent’s are in Mexico for a family event. I absolutely love my aunt’s house since she essentially lives in a greenhouse due to all the plants that she owns. Inside of her house there are a whole bunch of old family photos hanging on the walls along with her personal paintings of nature scenes which give off an overall feeling especially due to the warm tones presented on the family portraits which I’ll show later on in this post.  As I was watering the garden, I looked over and saw this beautiful soft grayish-blue to creamsicle orange sunset that made the San Fernando Valley glow. The mountains were s ilhouetted and had a slight purple tint to them which made for an interesting sight, it also helped cool down the entire visual. Although the sunset uses a very warm ...

Week 9 - Spill the Beans Coffee - Vivian Juarez

 Week 9 - Spill the Beans Coffee - Vivian Juarez This weekend, I went to San Diego with my boyfriend, and we went to one of their most popular local coffee shops: Spill the Beans Coffee. I took this photo while we waited for our bagels. I did apply a filter to the photo, which to me gave it this Christmas feel, especially with the color palette of the cafe and the Christmas tree in the background. The cafe was bright and open. I felt awakened and welcomed when I stepped into the cafe which in part was due to the natural lighting and the bright paint palette. The overhead lighting fixtures added to the natural light and helped show off the cafe even more. As soon as you walk in, I think the first thing that caught my eye was the "Pot Head" light fixture on the wall. It adds great contrast to the black coffee pot behind it. I also love the color of the fixture, it adds a calm feeling to the overall atmosphere.

Week 9 - Lucas - Another day, another Tree

Image
 As we can tell by this point, I really love the natural lighting that I see and find while I am outdoors. What I really love about this photo is all of the vibrant colors throughout. The different tones and shades of green. The vibrancy of the blue sky that is wistfully painted with the white clouds. This photo really gives me the feeling of a bright sunny morning that signals its going to be a good day. I also am a big fan of how much the blue pops from behind the tree, and creates a cool perspective. It's such a lovely contrast and the fact that you can see the texture of the pine cones in the tree is just an added bonus. I love finding these little moments on my walks to, from, and around campus.
