Week 3 Light behind Glass
I wasn't quite sure on coming up with a blog title for this photo, but it was defiantly a fun and unexpected one! I went to Yard House with my two roommates, Marlee and Caitlin. On our dinner table we had a tiny little LED candle light. Once our drinks were placed in front of the fake candle light, it was so cool to see how nicely it lit my glass of coke. It reminded me of how back in the day we used wine glasses as a form of gel color! It was also interesting how a little bit of light could create this ombre effect. I wonder how this effect could be brought on stage. It almost seems as if it was light shinning through a stain glass window with liquid and texture within it. I wish to know more about how light reacts with glass, such as why we would pick glass gobos over some steel gobos. Even in art galleries I have worked with art pieces that are either made of glass or protected by glass. It was always fun to see how a small source of light shinning behind a reflection of the glass could change an entire look.

Nice images and contemplations. Glass gobos over metal usually has to do with the image or design you want to get. Some images simply cannot be done in metal - partially because they may not have a connecting point in the metal or it is a more painted image. However, light through water, which is really what you are seeing, or through distorted glass, can be amazing and hard to get onstage.
