dining room, 4/1/11 8:35 am. While this is not a beautiful photograph, I wanted to capture the image of our dining room table in our apartment as the morning light greets it. A similar effect occurs on the bottom of my bed in the mornings and always fills me with a sense of peace and welcoming as these long patches of light extend into the darkened room from the window. From the dining room window I am able to see different ways the morning light is allowed to come through, one side through the trees outside, then blinds and then viewed through the bars on the chair. On the other side more light comes through and seems to burn up the left side of the windowsill. I am interested in the different angles the lines and patterns make in the window, on the table, and also in the reflection on the glass of the framed poster on the wall. I think what I find most beautiful about these moments is how different spots of light seem to sparkle as others are softened or are blocked. I often find that in images where there is high contrast and silhouette I am intrigued by what is seen and not seen. I am amazed by how much information this window asks me to take in so early in the morning.

Nice post. A good mix of "what" is happening with "how" it affects you. That is the type of thing I want you to keep analyzing - nice work!
