Connecting Essay-

This is an photograph of the Alcoa building in Pittsburg. The glass on this building is design to reflect the motion of the river it is situated next to (the Allegheny river.) In this image I admire how the curved lines act as leading lines, taking your eye on a journey into the image. The black and white colour aspect adds more contrast to the image, and detail, as your eyes are not distracted. This image has a structured appeal to it, giving it shape and organisation. 

These images are photographed by me. This image is of a building opposite my college. This image givens an urban feel, much like the image above, and is likewise of a building. In my image I like how I captured a wide depth of field, also I decided to make the image black and white as it captures more detail, and shows more of the contrasts within the image than the coloured image does. 

The two photographs are linked due to their urban/city appeal, they're also both photographs of buildings. Moreover, the black and white aspect highlights the contrasting colours more. The fact both the images are structures implies we all need structure in our lives, even through all the business we occur daily. Our technical techniques are also similar as we have both photographed our images from and angle, (the side of the building.)
