Chemistry
1) The quote is from a book of haikus I've been reading recently, as I read the poem an image of a cherry tree at sunrise came into my mind. It just so happened I had taken a picture of a tree in full bloom the morning before. Though the tree isn't actually a cherry tree, I adjusted the color of the photo to emulate the pink hue of a cherry tree.
2) Every day as I walk to the buss I experience a different sunrise, each and everyone different yet equally brilliant. This particular sunrise captured me and I couldn't help but take a photo. The rain drops are from an image I took of a motorcycle that had recently been rained on, in this image there was the texture of the raindrops but also the rough texture of the plastic from the motorcycle, hence the background texture behind the raindrops. Combining these two images I was attempting to make it appear to the viewer that the sunrise picture was taken from the inside of a car or a window.
3) The two different blue circles that appear in this image are from a chemistry experiment that I performed a few weeks ago. Both of these circles are the same substance but taken at different points during the experiment. To achieve the pattern in the photo I copied the images multiple times and arranged them as such, I also used different overlaying techniques to achieve the opacity of the circles.

Clouds
1) The building in the foreground was taken in Ann Arbor's Graffiti Alley. The day I took the picture in the alley the sky was completely grey, which is to be expected here in Michigan. During a rare opportunity where we actually had a nice sky, I captured it as fast as I would have captured a rare fleeting unicorn. With this single precious Image of the sky I removed the boring grey from the image in the alley and I replaced it with the interesting image of the sky.
2) Whenever I'm walking through downtown Ann Arbor, I always find myself wondering into Graffiti ally, I think its one of the most interesting places in Ann Arbor to take photos. This particular image I feel is conflicting with itself, all the lines are leading to one general point, but they're all taking their own approach. Similarly to the first image the day I took the photo in the alley they sky was a dull grey, so to make the image more interesting I added the clouds.
3) As I was walking into the house from school I noticed an interesting reflection, a tree was being reflected by a puddle in the sidewalk. To make this puddle stand out I added the blue of the sky, since without it the puddle consisted of a brown murk. I wanted the blue sky to be reflected in the water, but I also wanted the tree branches from the original to still be reflected, so instead of just replacing the puddle with an image of the sky, I overlaid the two images

Texture

Seeping
1) The peeling paint from the back of an old slide made for an interesting picture, it was even Instagram worthy. The cracks from one of our famous Michigan roads created a fascinating texture, but the color was of dull pavement. Mashing up these two images created a very enticing texture, color combination.
2) This image took an interesting roundabout way of coming into existence, originally the branches were on top of an almost completely white background, which I though would make for an interesting contrast. Once it was finished I decided to replace the white sky with a perfectly blue sky instead. when cutting out the old sky, I noticed that the white remained in between the branches of the tree, it created a very interesting spiderweb like effect. Through further experimentation I found that changing way I overlaid the image would also drastically change the color of the sky between the branches.
3) The background image is of a knot from the stump of a tree near my house, from the image you wouldn't think that it's surrounded by pavement and houses. The sap like goop seeping in from the top left of the picture is actually spilled tar I found crawling across the floor of the Lowe's I stop at to pick up supplies before I go of to work with my dad. Even though the two substances are completely and totally different, one natural and one manmade, I felt that they fit together very well and create in interesting contrast of texture.
