This is a picture I took one evening at my new home. It was great knowing I could get an amazing view of the moon from the house. This was an interesting moment when I spotted the moon during sunset, while the clouds still glowed with the rays from the sun. Looking back at this picture, I keep thinking about the popular controversy of "The Dress" and how we see things differently both due to the way our eyes perceive color and the trick of the lighting. Clouds normally reflect a pinkish-orange color from the sunlight, but sometimes, they can reflect purple, red, and other colors. They constantly change color as the lighting from the sun changes angles and all at once disappears. It is an interesting concept to think about when lighting a stage: how colors change as the source of light constantly moves.
The picture also reminded me of the importance of the moon. When the street lamps are off and as darkness moves across the sky, the moon is almost always there to act as our light and guide in the dark sky. It was a nice reminder as I was preparing to start my year at UCI.
Very insightful look at angle and icons - perception is something we, as LD's, always have to think about, not just ours but the audience's as well
