On the eve of finals, I retreat to the comfort of my home. Here we celebrate my Papa's birthday and St. Patricks Day. The weekend id fun of fun time with family but looming over my head it the impending threat of finals and papers.
As I stare at the fireplace I feel warm and comfortable but the window lets in the chill of the unavoidable future. I am definitely projecting into this way too much but the lighting does definitely have a strong contrast!
Them both being natural sources of light make them feel as if they belong together but the firelight being so much more dominant with the bright light from outside makes it feel off. It is unusual to see this balance in a natural setting and this is what makes it strange to look at.
And with me in my head about finals it only adds to feeling on edge.
Very nice post. Great talk of foreground and background and warm vs cool with a tie to your personal context :)
