Good 'ol Commerce

Guess what...It's finals time! A whole semester has flown by! This little college town has led me to a bigger and better future then I could have ever imagined.  I knew I had to capture Commerce in my final because of all that has happened here in the last semester. 
As I was brainstorming for my final project I decided on a few things: 1. I would challenge myself and not photograph any people, or set up any table top photographs 2. I would photograph something that has significance to my life, and 3. I would incorporate as many of the elements I have learned over the semester as I could. 
With that being said, I drove Tyler drove me around Commerce this weekend to go look for interesting things to photograph. (He thinks photographers should not be allowed to drive because we're always getting distracted and swerving off the road, which may or may not have happened a few times when I was in the drivers seat.) These are the little pieces of Commerce I captured...


For this image I used a long shutter speed to capture the wind blowing through the flowers because Commerce has got to be the windiest place on the earth, and I also isolated contrasting colors to make the image interesting.




Two words to describe this image: Lines and Lighting.




Commerce is full of old texturey walls. I just loved the simplicity of this composition.








I loved the shape this building created against the green.
