I went back to home-home this past weekend in LA to celebrate my mother's birthday. It's been a good while since I've visited home so the moment i walked into the family room i knew exactly what i wanted to do this weeks lighting blog on. In the photo (on the left) is a picture of one of the windows in the family room. You must be wondering if that window is a design of some sort, or if it is on the verge of shattering. If you guessed broken class, you are correct! If you look at the bottom right hand corner, you can see how there is a B-B shot that causes the entire class to crack.I am writing about this accident my older caused when he was in high school (about 11 years ago) because i noticed the cracks in the glass shows the prism effect we learned about in class. The sunlight hits the edge of cracked glass and breaks up white light into its components and we see a rainbow-like light. It's funny how i had always noticed this colorful light that the broken glass had created ever since i was young, but since taking this class, i can somewhat explain why it has color. Now i know the reason why my older bro's mistake can be looked at as art, haha. (fyi...this window has been like this for the past 11 years...and hasn't broken apart yet...dayum)
Very nice ties to color theory and your very personal surroundings - I am glad you were able to look at it in a new way :)
