Welcome!

Hello!

Welcome to the blog for 50C: Introduction to Lighting Design.

As we move through the quarter, I hope that your eyes will adapt to seeing light in a whole new way.  Perhaps you'll see colors you've never noticed before, you may recognize the angle of a certain light, maybe you will find ways to articulate how light makes you feel.

In order to assist with this process, I've created this blog so that each and every one of you may contribute a short piece every other week on an aspect of light that you have noticed throughout your journeys.  This can include a particular moment in a play, a beautiful sunset, a great rock concert of a well lit store.  Anything and everything can be included.  I only ask that you take this assignment seriously, remember that your posting count towards your final grade.

If you have photos to include with your post then please add them.  We'd love to see what you are describing!

Just think of the illimitable abundance and the marvelous loveliness of light, or of the beauty of the sun and the moon and stars.
St. Augustine

A given visual phenomenon may not be perceived at all unless it is actively looked for.
