evening sun


it was around 6 when i got home today.. i have three large windows that stretch across the front of my room. by 6, the sun had lowered to an angle that threw shadows of my blinds across to the opposite of my room...the wall then became a canvas for any objects shadow that stood near the window. in between the darkness and light parallel lines i could cast a figure of different sorts. in exhaustion from a hard day's work, i danced in the shadows for a minute or two and watched my body disfigure in the bends and curves of the wall, it looked so fun and free. 
I then decided to take a picture for our project...my body stretched out on the blinds. 

About 30 minutes later, I walked into the living room where another beautiful product from the evening's descending sun appeared. there were two windows side by side, one that had the blinds completely closed and one with them pulled up to the top. this time there was a casted shadow that laid slanted and bright across the living room floor.. here i found my cat Rafael, it was like a portrait. I'm sure he had found the warmest spot to nap on the hardwood floors, he lay almost sun bathing in the thin stretched aisle of brightness, while the rest of the room sat in darkness.. most likely jealous of the warm panels on the floor...

the dim lit rooms became comfortable to me and i decided to get some writing done for a screenplay i'm writing. comfortable, because i think there's something in the way you don't need to turn on the overhead lights yet..and the whole room isn't bursting with sun. it was this middle ground of almost a golden color, soft and delicate. comfortable.

during recording light observations.. i found my favorite lighting of the day. im calling it comfort light.
