Decoration
This is a photo of a decorative plate that I found on a wall in a restaurant. I liked the patterns on it. I also liked the red coloring that I show in the edited photo here. The idea of abstract patterns appeals to me, and while this plate may not be completely abstract, the patterns are interesting to look at. With this photo, I wanted to convey a feeling of interest

Caution
This is a photo of a caution barrier in an engineering building on the U of M campus. I thought the contrast between the bright yellow and the dull colored wall was interesting, and it was especially obvious once I made it black and white. I also thought it was interesting, because the barrier probably wouldn't normally be found inside. It was there because parts of the tiles on the wall had fallen out, and more could be loose, which was ironic, as it was in a relatively new engineering building. With this photo, I wanted to express the feeling of humor in unexpected situations.

Windows
This is a photo of a exit sign in front of glass windows. I thought the look of something obviously man-made in front of something designed to look out on nature was interesting. I also liked the pattern of the wall in front of the window. With this photo I tried to convey a feeling of juxtaposition.

Flame
This is a photo of a candle in my house. I enjoy watching fire moving. It's fluid movement is soothing to me. I liked the reflection of the fire in the molten wax in this photo. It was somewhat hard to get my phone to focus on the fire, as it it kept changing the brightness of the photo. With this photo, I wanted to evoke a feeling of warmth.

Color of Spring
This is a flower in front of my house. I liked its coloration, and the background of a stone wall. Its red stripes stand out against the gray background. In this photo, the color of the flower against the gray background could represent new plants growing in the Spring. With this photo, I tried to express a feeling of renewal.
