Location 1: This is the main athletic building nearby to Michigan's lacrosse stadium. I stopped by to watch the Big 10 Championship game between Maryland #1 in the country and Johns Hopkins #7 in the country. I really like the building since it was just built recently and it looks really cool in my opinion. When taking this picture I tried to get the whole building or as much as possible to show the sheer awesomeness of the building. I could do this because the building was not to tall so the picture didn't end up being that bad.
Location 2: This is a building in Chicago that I stopped by to take a picture of. Personally I liked the building because it had windows but at the same time it was not to modern to the point where it was glass. It had some character in someways. The way I had to take the picture was to look straight up almost since this building was much taller than most of the buildings in my photos. Its one of my favorites and I would have liked to take more pictures there but I forgot so I only got one.
Location 3: The third location is the school I did have to take a picture of the school since I was missing a picture. I was missing a picture due to the fact that I was sick for most of the weekend and wasn't able to get out. As much as I wanted to take the photos I slept through the majority of the day only to go to practice where i needed one more picture. I figured why not take a picture of the school since it looks really cool. I also find pillars in most architecture to be fascinating so the school had the best spot to observe pillars. Which is why most of the pictures taken are with the pillars. I really wanted to capture the imposing factor of the pillars.
Location 4: This fourth photo was taken on the way back home in the car. It wasn't the best way to take a photo but I thought that this building was kind of neat in the way that it resembles a picnic basket. So I had to take my chances in taking a photo of the building and I was able to get the whole thing. It also made me think that if you can make buildings that look like real life things instead of blobs of concrete and glass. Why aren't there more buildings that have a shape other than straight up why doesn't all buildings have their own unique shape.
Location 5: The last location is of my house I took these not because I wanted to show everyone where I live but because I wanted to see what a blueprint of my house would look like for myself. I learned that in most houses triangles are used to best hold the house so I wanted to see if this was true so I took a picture of my house.
