Week 6 - Shadows of Sultan- Lu

 



This is one of my foster kittens, Sultan. I went to LA for the weekend to spend some time with my family. One day everyone in the house went out and I was left alone with the cats. The older ones are always on their own, but the kittens like to be around. I tried to take a nap while my parents were out, but the kittens kept staring at me. It was a cloudy day but the sun would come out from time to time. I played with the kittens when I noticed the sunlight coming through the blinds, and while the other two kittens were running around, Sultan laid down and looked at the window. The sunlight made his black hair shine even more and make these contrasts of black and grey on his hair. His little eyes turned into some color between green and blue. When cats are babies, their eyes always look blue, and they eventually turn into their actual color as they grow up. I like the shadows that were created by the sun and the blinds, and the color combination of green and blue with the warmth of the sunlight and the floor. His name is Sultan because since I met him, I always thought he looked majestic, and I also get that feeling from this picture.

Week 2- La Jolla Cove-Sophia Perez

Image
  I took this picture about 4 years ago during spring break of my senior year in high school. This is the beach in La Jolla. I'm from San Diego so I love going to the beach and have so many fond memories of La Jolla. This picture was taken about mid afternoon and it wasn't as bright and sunny as when I had first got there hours prior and thought it looked beautiful. Since the pandemic has started, I haven't visited the beach at all due to the crowds. As much as I love this picture, I can't help but feel sad to think about the fact that I took simple outings with friends for granted. During this time in quarantine, I've realized that I can't take moments with my loved ones for granted and cannot wait to be able to spend time with them in person.

Week 4 - L'arc en ciel - Grace McCarney

Image
  While I'm visiting California for these few months I'm staying at my partner's parents' house. They have a chandelier in the front of the house that is next to a window. The window is facing west so during late afternoon/early evening everyday the light comes through and creates a stunning array of rainbows all throughout the second floor. This week they were especially bright and distinct. I also just learned how to say rainbow in french so that's what my title is. Whenever I see a rainbow like this, that appears somewhere I didn't expect it, it always brings a huge smile to my face. I know there's a science to it but it really feels magical. I think that is something that lighting does in theatre that not many other design forms can do. Depending on how it's lit and what is lit, it can truly make the stage feel magical. I remember seeing Finding Neverland and there's a sad but beautiful moment at the end. If the lighting wasn't so soft and sp...

Week 10 - Plant Mom - Erica Batres

Image
  This is a picture of my plants at around 4:30pm in the afternoon. The sun was not yet set, but it was definitely "golden hour" peaking through my bedroom window. I love the way the warm yellows from the sun brings out the warm earthy tones of the greens in the potted plants. Looking at all these colors together puts me in such a relaxing mood, and makes me so thankful that I have brought plants into my bedroom. There is a soft cascading yellow that makes this photo feel so warm and fresh to me. When I look at this picture I can feel the temperature of the room, slightly warm, but not stuffy.
