I'm really into this layering of light thing happening. With family in town, we have been doing LOTS of activities including strolling through the SOCO/ OC Mix full of showrooms and places too trendy for me. What I did really enjoy about the place was that because of all of the window fronts, there was so much reflected light happening on the concrete sidewalks. The sun was coming from one direction, going through some plants and I think bamboo in this photo, and also bouncing off of the window on the opposite side that washed out some of the leafy shadows, cutting at a steep angle. It made me think about our projections class and how we talked about angle of projection, light, people, how it bounces off of the grey marley in 1100, and other things of the like. I also thought about how hot it gets in Van Nuys with all of those store fronts, reflecting and refracting light, heating up the whole neighborhood.
Nice post and texture :) We see layering in light and objects so much in nature but then forget sometimes when we get into the theatre and our eyes do not respond well when things are flat - nice observations
