It's Elemental
Artist Statement:
These pictures were taken of the Chelsea Clock Tower in Chelsea, Michigan. The Chelsea Clock Tower is one of the most beautiful structures in Chelsea. I do not know much about the clock tower, but it makes me feel as if I was living in the late 1800's or early 1900's. I took these photos to make my viewers feel the same way. I want my viewers to understand how this structures history makes it more visually interesting. I struggled taking these photos because the selection of angles was very limited, meaning that I couldn't take pictures of the structure from many different angles. I enjoyed taking these pictures overall, and enjoyed the amazing features that the clock tower had to offer.

Grand Entrance
Artist Statement:
These photos were taken of one of the graves located in the Chelsea Cemetery in Chelsea, Michigan. If you have visited the Chelsea Cemetery before, you know that this grave is in the middle of the cemetery. This grave is beautiful and is one of a kind. It reminds me of an Ancient Roman house with outstanding features. I took these photos to show the beauty and importance of this structure. I want my viewers to understand that we need to appreciate the things that we love. Everyone has limited time here in this world, and we need to see that. It is important that we take care of our loved ones and teach them important lessons. These photos were hard to take because of all the trees in the background, however this part of the cemetery is quite beautiful.

Crossing Over
Artist Statement:
These photos were taken of the St Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Washtenaw County, Michigan. This church is absolutely beautiful inside and out. I wasn't able to enter the church because it was closed, but I have been it myself in the past. This is a Greek church, and with its outstanding exterior design, it makes me feel as if I am living in Ancient Greece. I love learning about the Ancient Greeks and Mythology, and I wanted to share my love and passion with my viewers. I want them to feel like they are a part of the Ancient Greek world as well. I came across a few obstacles while I was taking these photos. It was hard for me to take them because there were so many plants and trees in the way. Just like the cemetery photos, I tried to crop out as much as I could. But in some ways the trees and plants make the photos more visually interesting.

These photos were taken of the Ann Arbor District Library, located in Ann Arbor, Michigan. The exterior design of the library is quite fascinating. It is coated with metal, and has a very sturdy base. The metal also reflects the sunlight making it easier for me to have more light in the photo. I want my viewers to see how cool this structure is, and make them feel as if they are standing right in front of the library. My goal is to make my viewers feel like they are in the photos themselves. I did struggle with the angles of the photos for this structure as well. The library is surrounded by a pond, and grass areas that nobody can walk over. If I had trespassed, I would have been in serious trouble. I loved taking photos of this structure, and would love to do it again with a more professional camera.

Layer Cake
Artist Statement:
These photos were taken of an abandoned building located in downtown Chelsea, Michigan. This building is actually right next to the Chelsea Clock Tower. The entire structure appears as if it is decaying ver slowly. I love this building because of the many textures on the facade and the amazing visual features that it has. I tried to include as much of this detail as possible in these photos to show my viewers. There are so many layers to look at. How did it get this way? What did it look like when it was first built? I hope my viewers can feel the effect this building facade had on me. This building was challenging to photograph, but also very fun. I took some of the photos lying down on the sidewalk.
