Light Journals.

From this window, that lamp appears to have a ghostly double coyly peeking out from behind it. The window has tiny raindrops trapped in the screen and tiny dirt smudges that make it seem as if the light itself, hot and wood colored, were made of particles and splatters. The wet sidewalk looks like silvery alloy, which perhaps changes colors in certain lights. The water puddles and the distance and angle make it look distinctly curved, like the brass on a trumpet. The brightest reflections are matte while the shadowy parts are smooth.
Further down the sidewalk, there is less illumination on the concrete, t he silvery tones are less present, there is more of a coppery tone, with a little more brilliance. The buddles are not so much gray as black with copper outlines.
The white on the buildings trimming has a similar warm radiance, the coppery, maybe sepia tone, except that it has more reds. maybe from the bricks.




Chili pepper lights in the hallway. They are red except for three white/clear/amber ones and one green one to the right. These are some radical lights! The lights are around the door at the end a hallway see, and they are real smooth and reflective. Ergo, when you blur your eyes it's like there are two sets of lights. Nice ambiance going on in this hallway. The lights shine like starssss. They really make the rug pop, as well as totally keep this small butler man statue really creepy. Normally his eyes would be blue, but in this light the're black. Like the kid with that alien virus in the x-files movie, or Wes Borland of "I dId It AlL fOr ThE nOoKiE" fame. Other lights of mention in the vicinity are a nice blinking duo on the smoke detector, a strip coming from under the door, and the TV. The smoke detectors lights are LED green, blink every few seconds, yada yada yada. Not too much light there. Under the door is partially obstructed, not too powerful, still not much of a contribution to the color tone described so far. The TV on the other hand adds a dynamic opposition to the warm reds in the hallway. The room adjacent is filled with cold blues and whites which accent the green and blue couches/seating arrangements. I feel warmer than that room just by being in the red hallway, mere inches away. I wouldn't want to go in that room. Too cold.
