Originally, I wanted to post something about the lighting from the show I Stage Managed, Eurydice, but this past weekend, I went to New Mexico for Thanksgiving, and ALL I COULD LOOK AT was lighting. The architecture there, is all lit up: freeways, hotels, tunnels. It really does make the place look better at night.
I can say all I want, but I didn't take any pictures of it, instead, I took pictures of the "River of Lights" that I went to at the Albuquerque Bio Park. It's a holiday lighting show, and I just couldn't resist the urge for all the pictures that I took.
This picture on the right is of some "entertainment" along the walk. These girls were singing carols, and when they first went up on stage, they were having trouble finding their light, in which I then said "uh oh, find your light game" and they found it. In which, those two lights on the very top, were it. I know, you can only do so much outside, but it was a little sad.
The picture on the left was just of the walk way. It was so cute and pretty, the lights were such a mood setter and it was the perfect place for a date. I couldn't believe how many lights there were. And it was so cold outside that we kept trying to warm up on the lights, but they were LED's! So they didn't get warm like we wanted them to. It was so disappointing!
Okay, I won't post anymore pictures, but the light at the top center was one of few lights lighting some steps. There was this one, and then there was one that was red, blue and green (which of course I didn't get a picture of)! When I saw it, I gave my whole family a lesson in lighting color theory! It was awesome, they were so confused, but I was able to tell them about how the primary colors of LIGHT and the primary colors of PIGMENT were different and the evidence was given right from that little light because the light on the ground turned out white! Perfect.
So, in conclusion, you want lighting opportunities, New Mexico is a good place to go for that. =]
