Week 9: Color and Direction

Costa Mesa, CA.

This week I chose another photo from my room; one morning I caught a surprisingly streak light coming in through my window. While in my closet I noticed the strip of prismatic light spilling through the crack in my closet door. I absolutely love how dynamic the light appears in this photo. Colored light spills in, creating a directional rainbow across my floor. In a weird way, it reminded me of specials with gobos. It was directional like a Par Can, but sort of textured like a glass gobo might be. Perhaps because it was so directional and specific, it was like it was making a bold statement on my floor. The prismatic light which is normally so soft on my walls or on the floor below my window, through the crack of the door became directional and linear.
