WEEK 4/INSPIRATION

 


Hello! Here is my photo for week 4/ inspiration. This is a photo of an affirmation card that I get at the very end of every CODA meeting. There are so many things that translate as inspiration to me in regards to this photo. First, it was taken right after a meeting that was very meaningful and supportive to me. Second, the affirmation card itself is super inspiring to me because of what it says (My journey towards recovery is a testament to my strength and resilience). Lastly, the sunset after this CODA meeting was absolutely stunning AND inspiring. I love the way the clouds looked and the way there was still just a little sun left. I could've taken this photo the other way so that the sun showed the message on the card more but I felt it was more important that you saw as much of the sun and clouds that you could so in the end I didn't mind that the affirmation card was a little tougher to read. Overall, I love this picture and it 100% embodies inspiration to me.

    Ramin,
    I love how a simple photo can help your classmates get to know you better on a personal note. The power of the beautiful sky behind the card is a strong statement.

    Beautiful photo and I love the power of the background and that we need to work a little to read the card, as I think we take it in even more. Often times something lit in silhouette or with other things more powerful behind it make us lean in and pay even more attention. Thank you for the post and beautiful image and sentiments. Please make sure to include your name in your post titles. Thank you!

Week 10 - Ashley

This picture is from my piece, Reverberant Skin, in New Slate. I love the way the colors in this piece ended up looking on stage. I gave the color palette of light blues, purples and greys to the costume designer and Hayden, my lighting designer ended up using those same colors throughout the piece. This shot captures the lavender color of the lighting highlighting the dancer's bodies and costumes. I think the side lighting allows for the audience to see the movement of the clothing which emphasizes the movement of the dancers.

Week 1/ Sabrina Huang/ ClubJete

  I took this picture on my phone last month for my first choreographers debut at ClubJete. This picture reflects my perspective of the club when I first walked in. I walked into the club feeling very excited, being a newly 21 year old as well this was my first "club" experience. The experience was even cooler for me while it was a space full of very talented dancers and choreographers. I took out my phone very quickly to take a picture of the cool lighting. The club looked really fascinating to me, I liked the different contrasts with the purple, pink and blue. As well as, the reflections from the disco balls and strips of led on the ceiling!

Week 2, Kaylee Kollins, Tokyo Nights

 For week 1, I have chosen a photo I took this summer, in the streets of Tokyo in the night time. I spend most of my summers here, so looking back at this photo gives me a sense of nostalgia, happiness, and warmth. My favorite part of this photo is that although my iPhone camera quality is not great, it captures the light rays of the street light going in many different directions. The light splitting off in different directions yet remaining symmetrical to me is an art within itself. Another thing that sticks out to me is how the vending machine light glows in this photo. There is nothing more comforting than walking the streets of Tokyo at night and having a vending machine light glare at you in the distance. To me, this photo exudes peace and serenity, as I feel very comfortable walking these streets at night in the town I grew up in, but I cannot say the same about walking the streets at night in America. Another highlight of light in this photo is the entryway to some people's...
