Selfie
Transcendant The message that I wish to convey through this photo is who I am, or at least a glimpse into my life while still being incomplete. The laptop represents my school and my work. I use it to communicate with my friends on the Robotics Team and to CAD. The two buttons show my team and what I am to it. I was recently made Safety Captain for one competition. The Cat is Caramal, i've had him since preschool. He is one of my oldest friends. The shoes and chalk bag represent my hobby, rock climbing. The tree had always been in the back yard, when you climb it, you can see just above the tree-line. A view like that makes you think you are no longer in Ann Arbor. This is a photo that shows a snapshot into my life, of what I do, of what I like, of what I am.

RiverThis is a picture or me and a place that is important to me used in a double exposure. The background is a river that my family and I passed on a road trip. It was relatively small, did not have a name on any note, and was largely ignored. While next to an interstate highway, the river easily drowned out the sound. Even though the highway was a couple 100 feet away, you could feel as though you were miles away from civilization. I stopped to visit the river through out the road trip, taking pictures and looking at the surprising amount of wildlife present. This was one of the few 'large' rivers that I have seen that do not look polluted or off color due to an urban environment. Most places I have been have been touched or influenced in some way or another. This was the first place that felt like I was actually in a natural environment.
