Tuesday
This first flat composition was taken outside my apartment complex. Against the black concrete, dark walls and trees, and night sky, the golden glow of the stairwell is the most prominent, and that's exactly where all residents need to go to get home too. It's like a lighthouse. I achieved the flat space by making sure the yellow color of the stairwell was't interrupted as much as possible. I think I did well at including enough detail to show where this was while making the stairwell the center of attention.

I loved the opportunity this week to catch some spectacular sights of the Wasatch front draped in clouds, making it seem like it was straight out of Scotland, Japan, or some old fantasy world. I also deliberately took this shot in between two trees and above a line of shrubs, creating a surface division that makes the spectacle seem like it's on a stage with curtains pulled aside. I intended to show in some way how very impressed I was with this change of appearance of a sight I see every day. Maybe I should have made the sight of the mountains bigger though.
Thursday
This is the underside of an overhanging roof for a local bank. First, I think its design makes it look very old, and its structure at this section looks very uniform. Second, I wanted to convey a sense of old-school class that our city still has in its building designs. I guess I should have eliminated the visual cue of looking up on a horizontal plane, which gives it a deep space look as well, but I just wanted this to look very asymmetrical.
