Just outside of the Claire Trevor Theatre and right before the bridge to the humanities campus is a small ornamental lemon tree. This sad lemon with what looks like a rough plummet from the branch it also was deformed and mangled. I would have never noticed this natural peculiarity if it was not for the light. The sun was just starting its evening fall, so the light was bright on the tree and its branches were directing the light on to the lemon. The light was wrapping around the lemon and casting shadows down each of it crevices, highlighting all of its flaws and beauty. This great light moment, reminded me that even deformed, broken, anhslighly rotted thing can be beautiful. We often forget that beauty can be found all around us if we just pay attention!
Very nice and unorthodox post on inspirations :). You also get to the heart of a few things lighting does so well. Direct the eye and change the way we look at an object.
