While studying in the library on Saturday night I noticed how white the lights were. It was clear these light's main function was practicality- they needed to light a large space and needed to light it well. As it became darker outside, and the natural light began to subside, it became harder to focus because the lighting was more harsh. In the reflection you can see the rows of lights in their organized order; this also plays into the practicality function: there are no nice lighting fixtures and there is no ambiance When my mom FaceTimed me, my face looked almost sickly and very drowned out. Also, the mood is kind of sad, because, well, being in the library on a Saturday night is sad.
hahahha oh so true! Really great commentary, so much to notice in such a bland environment! The reflection of the lighting fixtures off the huge windows is a neat way to notice the rows and rows of functionality. It does seem sharp and white, almost demanding you to stay awake. It probably works better at allowing people to study than the warmth and coziness of lamplight honestly. Nice work!
