Dorm View

This photograph was taken March 21st out of a dorm room window at EHS student housing on 55 Clark street. The view is from the seventh floor and projects down Clark street facing east. This photograph was taken around 9:00 pm and slightly looks into Manhattan with the Brooklyn Bridge near the upper left edge. The dominate impression of this photograph is a rather calm representation of New York City with only a few cars traveling on the road outside of the dorm. The reflection of the room I am in projecting onto the window gives a rather ghostly effect as it almost cuts the photograph in half diagonally from the top left edge to the bottom right. In the bottom and center section of the photograph is Clark street lined with street lights. The lights have a glowing ray about them in that the light is spliced around 45 degrees and cast a solid ray that dissipates the further from the light the ray becomes. There are ten cars parked on the road with only one car traveling forward towards the camera because it is a one way street. Above the street there are several apartment buildings that almost blend together with New York City lights ending with a faint view of the Brooklyn bridge heading towards Manhattan. In the top right section of the photograph a clear reflection of a bunch bed behind me is painted. The bed is completely stripped in that a room mate I was supposed to get never moved in. A lamp behind the bed is projecting a white light which shines onto the blinds which are closed. The top edge of the photograph is also taken up by the reflection with a white ceiling the stretched across the entire top edge. In the center of the photograph is a fading reflection of a green wall and a bathroom door slightly opened with the bathroom light on inside. There is a strong reality effect in this picture with the reflection of my room and the view that looks out to New York. I am pleased with this photograph and how the reflection almost completely splits the photograph in half making it a very interesting picture.
