Brittany - (Week 4 Texture) - On Another Planet


"ON ANOTHER PLANET"

I took this photo today at Corona State Beach. I was trying to get a photo of my dog who didn't cooperate, but I ended up with this interesting composition. To me, the sky looks smooth, endless, and whimsical, while the sand looks like something from the planet Mars. It's interesting to think of the ground as the constant flat surface we walk on, but when the sunlight hit the sand, I could see all the porous divots and microscopic sand dunes in the "flat" surface of the ground. Seeing this photo made me feel intrigued by the seemingly normal, everyday things. What I think of as constant, generally unchanging, and ultimately flat can actually be seen as the most textured and interesting surface.  There is a certain excitement I feel when I find something extraordinary about the ordinary.

    Great image of texture especially against the seemingly flat water in comparison - great ties to emotion :)

Jehbreal week 10 Passion

Image
For the final week of the lighting blog posts I wanted to post photos from my trip to visit my sister who is expecting! She is waiting to deliver as this moment! We went to a Christmas tree lighting and it was one of the most romantic things I have seen in a long time. The family life was in the air and manifest from a passion of deep love between her love for her husband. I have felt a very Hallmark type of feeling since seeing these lights and I think these trees are very emblematic of this feeling. The jumbling of hues and their vibrancy brings about a strange surreal atmosphere that only enhances surreal feeling. They each have a feeling (especially the blue ones) of their own but combined they truly transform the park into a fantasy land! Looking forward to visiting this place again with my 1 year old niece next year!

Jehbreal Texture contrast

Image
I was struck by the contrast of the texture of these two works of art this past week at the open house. The harsh texture pf the metal plate with the soft subject of text versus the soft texture of the diffused light and color of the picture with the harsh subject of the gun. It made me remember in particular how drawn I am to terrible things being portrayed with pristine beauty in film and painting. I haven't seen it so much in dance and hope to make more work which does this very thing.

Week 3: Mermaid Caves by Chanel Kostich

Image
                                                                               Mermaid Caves~Chanel Kostich This photo was taken at the Mermaid Caves on the west shores of Oahu, Hawaii. This was a hidden gem that I adventured out to with my friend. The cave  looks out into the deep blue of the Pacific Ocean. The calming and enchanting ambiance is a magical sight to see. In order to get to this secret spot, we had to walk across  jagged lava terrain and jump through a small hole. Once I got into the cave, I felt as if I was  bewitched by the crystal clear water rushing towards the shore. When I was floating beneath the light and the sun rays were streaming through the cave’s crevices, it painted a golden hue on the dim cavern. I also felt as if my skin was glowing against ...
