This image is related to my project because of the use of light.  My photos of the fireworks, other than being documentary, were based on light and pattern.  This installation also concerns light and patterns the lights make.

 These images relate to mine because they are of places where it seems people should be.  Yet, like mine there are no people present in the locations when the photos were taken.

Images of My Own:

I chose this image because I like the detail in the rust and the color of the paint.  

I like this image because it was taken at night.  I also like the way the moonlight is reflected off the clouds.

I chose to post this image because it is a reminder of fun times and good company.  It makes me look forward to the weekend.  I also like how the light is reflected off the glasses.
