4. Influences:
Arte wolf has influenced me to view the world differently. Growing up in Ann Arbor, I really like to see how the city is trying to stay green. Ann Arbor is very unique compared to other cities, it has beautiful parks which attracts many different kinds of animals. However, Wolfe’s photographs have touched me in a different way. When I wake up and just stay in bed for a moment, I hear the birds, the rain on stormy days, and the rustle of trees by my window. Many of Art Wolfe’s photographs remind me of these feelings that I often take for granted.

6. Compare and Contrast:
I had taken three images that I saw that were similar to Art Wolfe's images. First, I took a picture of my dog strolling across a bridge. I thought that this connected with the deer/ antelope jumping, especially since they are both animals. Next I thought that the wolves and the dog looked similar with the teeth. Finally the cats chilling were very close so I thought that this would be a good image.
7. Personal Artist Statement: Your images should tell a story. In 5 sentences tell me about your images. Use the Composition
I was able to use many things in my photos to create a story. First, I used depth with the dog crossing the bridge. I really thought that depth added life to the image. The depth in the picture emphasizes the bridge and makes the image it better. For the cat I tried to use viewpoint. I thought that viewpoint would add character to the photo.
