What is it about camera phone photos that's just so great? Typically, nothing. The lighting is usually so bad that you can barely distinguish humans from large potted plants. But this one's lighting is decent enough that is captured the actual lighting from the room. It was date night and I'd spent the day cleaning my fiancé's (his name is Jon) room, and since we're young and poor we eat dinner on a lap desk of sorts that we put on his bed. There are a few things easily-notiseable about this photo: first, the time of day. It's darker and casting a shadow on the door behind Jon, so it's probably somewhere around sunset. The light next to me is in the corner and seems to light the room fairly decently, so the room is probably small. There's a blue light on the floor and reflecting on the bottom of the door, but it doesn't match the bluish tint at the top of the door (and typically, the moon doesn't make the floor's kind of distinct blue unless it's on a stage), so it's coming from some sort of electronic device (it was the TV). It's probably against "code" to have a room with no windows (though I could be wrong), so we can safely assume that in this Irvine apartment there is a window opposite Jon that is casting his shadow on the door behind him.
It's amazing what lighting can tell us, and it's amazing what we can tell about lighting. They say a photo is worth a thousand words, and though I'm not typically one for clichés, I could probably write another 800 words about this photo after this post.
In addition, I was looking at this photo while I was listening to
this song. I highly recommend checking it out because auditory enhancement brings a whole new level to this photo. Also, it's a cute song.
It's been real, Drama 50C. Thanks for an awesome quarter, Jaymi, Stacey and Karen!
