Week 2 - A Stone Cold Night

Over the break, a friend and I decided to go out at 1am and tough it out in the -10 degree weather. 

We came. 

We saw. 

We froze. 

We ate some McDonald's. 

And we got some beautiful pictures. 

This picture was one of the last few of the night for me. I was fascinated be many different contrasts between the light there were happening in this space. The warm inside tempting the cold outside. Calling for my friend, Zachary to walk inside the orange-yellow Hubbard Marketplace to thaw out his fingers and toes like a fire. Yet for some reason, he remains outside. Those four cold blue lights so intriguing. So enticing. So radiant with light, it draws you to them. Because even though the inside may be warmer, the outside will light your path more clear. 

This is but one of many interpretations of this picture, but I was just so drawn to how color, in this instance, conveyed exactly what we generally think light it (WARM=reds, oranges, some yellows and so on. COLD=blue). It almost seems like the outside would the sad place to be as it is freezing out, his toes were frozen, body shaking, breath thin. And a lot of people would associate being sad as being "blue." So it was fun to make take this picture and try to make the inside warm and inviting, yet make the outside oh so much more enticing.
