Week 8 - Mary Smith - Just Passing Through


 My mom and I were dropping off some Thanksgiving food to my sister and her family since we were not able to all gather this year and on the drive there, we passed by this small pasture with cows! So cute! Not to mention the wonderful sunset in the back. (It reminded me of all the sunsets being built by my peers in their presentations and just how spot on they were with it with the distinct colors and the arrangement of them). Anyways, we were just passing through and did a very quick drop off of the food at my sister's house which was so strange. We talked from across the drive way and I waved to my nephews and niece and then we left. The moment was fleeting just like that sunset. It's so nice and warm in the moment but disappears quickly. The holidays are very different this year but we're lucky we're all still here to celebrate even if it's from afar.

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.
