Poems:
When day met night
Everything felt right
Day awakes and starts new lives
Night sleeps but it’s still alive
Day is always shinning its light
Night is dark but still just as bright
Day is crowded, full of living things
Night is empty, no awake beings
Day is wild, cause of what people do
Night is crazy, believe they are too
Day is dirty, it starts to match night
Night is clean, its gets quiet, just right
Day is loud, the noises surrounding it
Night is peaceful, no noises around it
Day is special, as special as it comes
Night is different, it’s nothing, no one can see
They are both loved, we all are attached
But like they say, opposites attract
Night and Day by Robert Louis Stevenson
When the golden day is done, Through the closing portal, Child and garden, Flower and sun, Vanish all things mortal. As the blinding shadows fall As the rays diminish, Under evening’s cloak they all Roll away and vanish. Garden darkened, daisy shut, Child in bed, they slumber– Glow-worm in the hallway rut, Mice among the lumber. In the darkness houses shine, Parents move the candles; Till on all the night divine Turns the bedroom handles. Till at last the day begins In the east a-breaking, In the hedges and the whins Sleeping birds a-waking. In the darkness shapes of things, Houses, trees and hedges, Clearer grow; and sparrow’s wings Beat on window ledges. These shall wake the yawning maid; She the door shall open– Finding dew on garden glade And the morning broken. There my garden grows again Green and rosy painted, As at eve behind the pane From my eyes it fainted. Just as it was shut away, Toy-like, in the even, Here I see it glow with day Under glowing heaven. Every path and every plot, Every blush of roses, Every blue forget-me-not Where the dew reposes, “Up!” they cry, “the day is come On the smiling valleys: We have beat the morning drum; Playmate, join your allies!”

Reflection:
It was very hard to take pictures of the different times of day this weekend because of the weather being so dull and gloomy. This weather made it difficult to depict the changes in the times of day. As I was taking pictures of a St Edwards landscape, capturing how the sky changes during the day, I began to photograph a spider that has been at this location for months. I started taking pictures of the spider contrasting with the different atmospheric appearances of the sky throughout the day. In my book I will have poems and literature from other sourced authors about the progression of a day and contrasting day and night. With these pictures of St Edwards that display various horizon lines I will be applying foldable cutouts to compare the land and sky at different times of the day. For example, I want to pair sunset with the land of the morning or a night sky with the land of the afternoon. Reflecting on my progress, I have made a good start in formulating my idea and the imagery associated with my sequence book. I need to take more pictures at night and really catch the night sky and lights of the urban aspects of campus and the city skyline. I have struggled adjusting to using raw files due to their massive size and working with a camera that is not just my phone. I also need to take more pictures that include other subjects in different times of day, not just ones with horizon lines. The pictures with horizon lines will be used for the cut outs in my book as I contrast the progression of time through the day. Overall I believe that I am making good progress and I need to put more work into capturing the details in the different times of day.
