Week 2; “rosita”; Tyler García

rosita

So I’m not gonna lie, I actually took this picture about a week or two ago, right before we transitioned from Social Distancing to Quarantine over here in California. Thus, this isn’t actually at my house, it’s at my partner’s dorm. Funny enough, I actually took this picture because of the coincidental lighting, and when the blog assignment rolled around, I thought “Hey, it’s perfect!” And did some cropping to cut out his messy desk, and boom this photo was born.

I originally took the photo because it reminds me of him, and it makes me feel warm and homey in his tiny little dorm room. All the shades of pink are very “him” and the creation of the pink-colored light was actually done by him setting a pink cup on top of the light and saying “bro look how cool this is, I made it myself.”  When he left the room to make us some tea was when I realized just how Wes Anderson-inspired the whole setup was. I actually noticed it on accident as I was going to change the music, and thought, “Whoa that’s a really cool look,” and took a photo of it.

All of the varying shades of pink is very true to him, and I’ve kind of held onto the picture pretty tight during Quarantine, as it’s very revealing of his heart to me.  The life raft with the Greek letters, the motivational poster, the record player, and the pink all scream his name.
