Week 4 - Maricela Guardado

Thank goodness for my weird friends and their early Halloween shenanigans. My friend was having fun with his own prop box, and looked particularly eerie under the practical light behind him. I put both of these photos because I was trying to capture the warm, orange glow of the light in the lamp that lit him from behind, but I don't think my phone did a great job of it. In any case, even though the light looks whiter in the second photo, I thought the back light as an eerie effect looked really neat.

This came one beautiful afternoon in my home, where the sun gracefully treated our living room with light. I thought it was cool to see tree shadows and the warm light treat the cold stone of the fireplace, and that the light coming through the curtains adds some really beautiful warmth to the space. It feels comfortable, and almost forest-cabin comfortable. 

Me and my friend Wylie have a tradition of having late night pie and coffee at our favorite diner in town. There was a light above him, giving him shadows in his eyes and from his hat. The color of the light was a little sickly, a little green? Still some warmth, but I believe the light above him was an incandescent lamp, while the rest of the restaurant uses fluorescent lights. Still, the picture itself feels out of a film noir scene.
