freeway-week 8

I took this photograph with my phone on the way back from la and it didn't turn out how I really thought it would, but actually makes it easier to talk about the light in it. What I was noticing was how I found it interesting to see the slew of yellow headlights next to all the red tail lights and how the intensity and color had an interesting contrast, but looking at this photograph I see more of the high contrast between the warmer colors below against the coolness of the sky. I love how the sky looks here with its subtle texture and the different blues and purples in it. This contrast reminds me a little of the chakra photo I took of the bar display with the contrasting warms and cools. Another thing I think about when i remember the image of the headlights and taillights is that I wonder if because we are used to seeing this, we have an association with bright white light coming towards us and red light retreating from us, or if it really depends on how that light is moving or places in space. I notice in this photograph of the chakra bar that the bottles are displayed in the cool white light and the reds and yellows are adding depth behind.
