Week One: Catalina at Night

For the Fourth of July I went to Catalina with my friend and her family. This building is called the Casino, and inside is a 20's era movie theatre and a concert hall on the above floor. They chose the lights and the flags in spirit of the holiday when usually they'e just white. My friends mother commented on how the blues weren't as bright, and due to my lighting experience I knew that it was because the transfusion is a much lower percent. They should have chosen a lighter blue to make it seem just as bright as the rest! Then they would have to sacrifice the deep blue color, so I guess it's the prerogative of the Casino owner. 

Regardless, the festivity of the lights was a wonderful touch. We stayed on my friend's father's boat and the reflection of the red white and blue off of the water at night created a beautiful scene to overlook our dinners together on the deck where we bonded and played games deep into the night. The entire trip was an amazing experience to get to know the entire family closer, and a lot of laughs were shared as we opened up and jived into each others life. We spent over a week there so it was a lot of time to talk! It was a time that I'll never trade for anything else, and I was so lucky to go. This picture brings back all of those memories!
