Week 4: Adventures in Neon


I was at the Spectrum last weekend  - (if you're looking for a bonus movie review the musical arrangements in Pitch Perfect were great, and I laughed a lot) - and the lighting there is difficult not to notice. There's a lot of neon happening there, to be sure. It's bright, and alive, and with the Carousel and Ferris wheel, it all feels and looks very frenetic. It's energy.

My favorite part is actually not pictured here - right across from this theater there's a restaurant that uses flaming torches to light the patio. I really enjoyed the contrast - neon and flame. New and old. The flicker of the fire was a relief from the constant beam of the neon.

  1. Nice contrasts of light source and how it makes us feel.

    Neon can be potent and beautiful but there is no substitute for live flame
