Happy Accident

      I woke up this morning, trying to sleep in for once, and was disturbed by how bright my room was. I had forgotten to close the blinds last night. Luckily it offered a great topic to blog about. Anyways, I noticed how the half open blinds created a shadow that fell on my comforter. I realized there was a couple things going on. First, the angle of the morning sun was coming in at about 40 degrees, right at my second floor window. Second, the blinds were acting as a gobo, creating a pattern with the light from the sun. Thirdly, the surface the light was falling on, my comforter, was uneven and colored which effected how the light and shadows fell and looked. It created this bright, morning, almost etherial, dewy suburban look. Two words to describe the look would have been: awakening and bright.
