week8 again

I took this photo a week ago during a photo shoot with one of my roommates. What interests me about this photo is how the light softly enters the room with a kind of warmth. There is an antique feeling that is complimented by a warmth of afternoon light. It is gentle, but holds detail. The way the shutters are arranged lets in the light in a beautiful manner that says something of a lazy sunday in a room where the only light source comes from this window. The way the natural light on the outside filters into the unlit room and then bounces off walls to give some definition to the surroundings reminds me of how amazing natural lighting is. Looking at the photo I feel how intimate the moment is. There isn't a large group standing about this window. This is a place for one person enjoying the filtering light that passes into their room. It evokes a kind of stillness. There is no urgency, just observation in simply being here in this place by this window.
