Water Fountain

I thought this image looked really cool. Water always has been a fairly awesome substance to light, but only when it's the only thing being lit. I like the different colors that blend together well and give the fountain different temperature looks.

Light, Matter, Memory

This is an image of one of the amazing art pieces that was over in the Wood Street galleries called "Light, Matter, Memory". What you see is essentially a bubble, a bar lowers down mechanically into a tub of soap and raises up, the result is this with light shining through to help.

James Turrell 2

This video shows one of James Turrel's exhibitions in Germany. His work always, and I mean always, fascinates me and I really would love to go to one of his galleries just to see it for myself.

Banksy

This image is graffiti done by the artist "Banksy". I really like his use of graffiti to promote different ideas as well as most of them being just plain cool looking. It's also more amazing that his true identity is still unknown to the world.

Painting that looks like a photograph.

Looks like a normal photo right?

WRONG!

Not sure I can really handle the reality of this. Just incredible.

Pac-Man Tree

I was looking around online and I came upon this cool christmas tree! Wish I had it!

Butterfly!

This picture I came across last week but forgot about it until about now! I really like how the different colors blen in this one and still make the butterfly look quite gorgeous which makes me remember how amazing nature is (even though the colors on this is obviously added). I also like that the area around the butterfly is black and white so the colors stand out even more but they aren't so intense in hue.

Epcot

 

This was a picture that my father also took when we were in Florida a few years back for my birthday type of thing. The thing I like about this is the way this giant ball was lit with the different colors blending to draw attention while also being symmetrical about it.

Sweet Jack-O-Lantern



I was looking around online when I suddenly saw this and started to think, "Hey, it's October, might as well try and get a little festive!"
What I like about this the most is the design of it and also the different levels of highlight it has where you can see where the artist carved shallowly in some areas and then carved deeper in others without cutting all the way through except for the eyes, mouth, nose, etc.

Anton Semenov

This is a surreal image by an artist named Anton Semenov, what I really like about this image is the use of only one part of the human body to create something quite unexpected and that it turns into a recognizable form.

Sand Artist

The link above contains a video that is essentially a woman who uses sand and a light box/projector to create images that she shows for a moment then throws more sand over and creates a whole new image. It's really quite amazing. I really like it because it uses silhouettes to show an image and the medium being sand makes it even more amazing.

Chris Fraser

I was surfing around on the web when I stumbled upon this artist, Chris Fraser. He has an interestingly cut slit in a room and then simply lets light from the outside create this astonishing image!

Purple Triangle Light

In this image, James Turrell uses the corner of a room and some lights to create what looks like a 3-D triangle. I really like how it's all 2-D in the sense of it being lights on a wall, but the lines from the corners form what appears to be a 3-D image but you could go over and stand in that corner if you wanted.

So today (March 3rd) at about 6:00 PM I was coming back downtown from Station Square when I happened to look behind me near where the incline is and what caught my eye was at the top of the hill, it was almost like there was a point where the clouds were moving in a v-shape somewhere behind the hill and just the light coming from the right side was the sunlight casting a nice orange glow through the clouds which caused a nice silhouette of a church with a steeple. What was cool about it for me was that I found myself stopped and just staring up at it before the clouds moved together and the light disappeared behind them.
         That was my moment of light today.

This is a picture of my old chinese water dragon that my dad took, I like the angle as well as the top light of this shot and how it makes the lizard look much larger than he really is.

Pittsburgh

This was taken back around the beginning of September I believe, I was walking across the bridge and I just liked how the clouds appeared to be much more massive in comparison to the building from this distance and how the light from the sun gave the clouds a more textured look.

Moment of Light 1/30/2012

James Turrell

I am a pretty big fan James Turrell's work. He does a lot of optical illusions with light such as, the blue areas in this image would change to different colors every so often, and the colored areas are actually a different section of room. His work just boggles my mind and I'm sure I'll be posting more of his work later on.

Danny

This was taken fairly recently with one of my cats. I will admit this is a picture I am quite proud of especially because it was an experimental picture without any high expectations.
