Blog 2 Resubmission


A light, might be a thin small in dark room, but it's the most noticeable thing in there.  

This is a Lamp. A simple lamp that many use everyday and man take for granted because it's a lamp. However is it more than just a lamp?  The denotation of this object is that it's a lamp and it's on. It seems that it's a dark room, while the lamp it's on, being a bright object. The lamp is black on a red table, the color reminds me of darker picture. The black and red contrast in the picture, a good color combination 

The connotation of the this lamp to me is that it is a beacon light. A sign of good will and that this lamp is more than just a lamp. It's a object of good source, it brings good light and helps those who are in the dark. I see this lamp and I see student pulling a all nighter, a child who is scared of the dark, a grandmother who kept this lamb for years and know passed it on to her grandchildren. A lamp means hope to me, a brightness that overcomes the big scary monsters, just like when I was a child. 

A lamp can be anything, it can be just a lamp or it be much more. It becomes a symbol, a thing that many will see or will not.
