About Lighting

“I consider myself a designer, so I use my theatrical lighting experience to enhance, decorate, and theme with light.  Regardless of the application, the sole purpose of lighting is the selective illumination of an area.  There’s certainly a functional aspect to it, because people need to be able to see, but what they see and how they see it is what lighting design is all about.”(excerpt taken from interview here: http://gentrygala.wordpress.com/2009/04/28/let-there-be-light/)
