Week the Sixth: All of the Lights!

Obsession with lights is not only appropriate to describe this photo, but also myself and how I've been lately having to stop to take pictures of lighting wherever I go.

I saw this set up on one of the walls at the Fonda Theatre in LA and was immediately captivated by the use of wall lighting to set the mood and decorate the interior of the theatre. There are a lot of lights (39 to be exact, I think) and the assymetrical shape that they are placed in immediately captures your attention as you walk in. It has an interesting cloud shape and the way it illuminates the wallpaper gives a sense of mystery. It reveals just enough to barely make out the pattern of the wallpaper. The candlestick lights remind me of an old mansion with long hallways that are lit by those specific lights. Similar to the Beast's castle in Beauty and the Beast. I also find it interesting that the other type of lamp is an outdoor patio kind. Those ones are coming off a lot cooler than the candlestick ones which I find interesting. Especially how in this photo we can find the cool lights that are contrasting the warm ones nicely.
