I chose to put these a photo of criss-cross caution tape along side with a photo of metal construction poles together because of the interesting lines that were portrayed in both images because I thought I could easily unify them because of the lines. The relationship between the two to me signifies the two sides to the city of Chicago, on the one hand, you have new shiny construction that signifies wealth and modernity and the other you have gloomy exposed brick and old paint with caution tape as the subject which signifies the neglected areas of the city. In order to make the two photos more cohesive and blend as one, I copied the pole from the image on the rights and put it between the two images to make it a dividing line. Lastly, I added some filters and lightened the photo to give them the same color tone and mood. 

Don’t worry, I found #Nemo ! 🤣 #tams #mermaidmom #filedtrip

"Thrive" I did not attend the field trip but took this photo in Downtown Naperville in a parking lot behind some stores. Towards the end of the time taking photos, I was searching the ground for small details that I could take pictures of. On the scavenger hunt check list, there was one box that said "man made vs. nature." This is a perfect image of the man made bricks and the nature grown plants that are sprouting up from between the bricks. The colors in this photo prompted me to capture this scene. I most likely would not have taken this photo because I never paid attention to such small detail before taking this class. This photo is successful because the colors of this photo are amazing and contrast another very well. 

"Across" I did not attend the field trip but I did go to Downtown Naperville and Lemont. When I was walking around in Naperville, I was shooting a lot of architecture and man made objects. There was a lot of nature surrounding the area and the mix of nature and man made objects seem to go hand and hand and almost seem to compliment another. The scavenger hunt had "more than one part" on the list. When I was about to walk under the bridge, I saw all the different nuts and bolts on top of the cement blocks and along the wooden planks. I for sure would not have taken this photo before this class because I have never paid attention to such small details before taking this class. These photos and specifically this photo is successful because of the depth of field. The whole background of this photo is blurry and it really emphasizes the gray nuts and bolt in the front of the photo.
