I was having a bit of difficulty finding inspiration for this week's blog post, but when I came home last night my housemate was doing homework in the living room, and my eyes were immediately drawn to the lamp she had on. The photo doesn't really do it justice because of the way my phone camera works with strong sources of light, but the room looked much brighter than it did in the photo, and the light source looked much softer and more diffused. I was struck by just how soft the ring of light looked, especially since it was in a perfect circle. I feel like I've grown pretty used to either the cool, fluorescent and even lights of classrooms and my kitchen, or of harsher lines, such as the wall lamp I use in my room (my apartment's bedrooms don't have ceiling lights) or my desk lamp. This soft, warm light was really gentle on the eyes, and it reminded me a bit of a Fresnel light because of the soft ring. It gave my living room a very homey, cozy feeling, and in a strange way, seeing the light made me a bit happier to be home.
I see texture in the image but you do not really mention it in the post? It is a nice post and I like what you pulled from it but would have liked more to have seen how you see the texture.
