A Gallery of Broken Fragments
I took these photos in St. Louis, outside the St. Louis Zoo. Pictured in the photos are metal sculptures, mainly of an assortment of animals but also just decorative pieces. I chose these angles because I wanted the view to feel direct and straight forward, forcing the viewer to really come to terms with what is depicted. The feelings I'm trying to convey could either be pity and remorse for the animals, both in the zoo and within the sculpture, or happiness and excitement at the beauty in it.
Escaping a Running Train Engine
These were also taken in St. Louis, and I used the arches and lights as leading lines to draw the eye towards the trees in the background. The main feeling I was trying to convey is excitement and/or intrigue, because the upward angle disguises most of the lower objects. This leads the viewer to become intrigued with what else is in the environment around the photo.
The World is Sideways and Backwards
These were taken near the Quad in Ann Arbor. I chose this composition because of the many interesting angles and leading lines created by the stairs, railings, and pillars. I think it gives off a sense of space and movement, because of that. The main emotion I was trying to convey was adventurousness and motivation.

Leaning Towards Failure
These photos were taken of the U of M campus, near the Quad. There are some trees around the edges, but the main attraction is the building. The windows create some really interesting leading lines which create the mood and tone of the photo. The main emotion I'm trying to convey is mystery and curiosity, because of the sharp angles in the building.
Isolation Facing Brick Walls
These were taken in front of Hill Auditorium, in downtown Ann Arbor. I chose this layout because I liked how the lines of the ground and building looked with a straightforward camera angle. I'm trying to convey bluntness and calm with this photo, because of the many right angles and forward angle, along with the door in the center, which could be interpreted as a door of opportunity.
