Lighting Blog TAD 132-01

I honestly think that there are many natural sources of light that are extremely beautiful. Because of that beauty I didn't want to try to get a picture of it on my phone. So I saw this. There's nothing very special regarding this lamp but I like looking at how the lights streams out of it at night usually. You can see a sort of star-shaped figure streaming out and I'm pretty sure that it goes unnoticed. While people look at rainbows, the sky, and the sun, they don't pay attention to the light that replaces it when it's gone. Lamps, light poles, flashlights etc. When the natural light is gone and we are left with darkness we turn to these sources of light and that's not something we put much thought into.

I started thinking more and more about lighting after our second discussion and realized that we mentioned lights imitating natural light. We use these lights to imitate or replace. When the sunlight is gone and I have to go inside to keep doing my homework, I turn on this light to keep me company. At times, I've noticed that this light seems to be more intimate than the natural lighting we use throughout the day. I randomly start playing with the shadows I cast on my paper when I get really bored and notice that I don't care if anyone sees me because it really is just the source of light and myself in this small cocoon of false light spilling from a source that can blank out any moment.
