Final Photos with statements

While I was walking around campus on a sunny day, I came across this berry tree. The berries looked really pretty in the sunlight and there were so many berries just dangling on the branches My emphasis was on the one brand and bunch of berries that are in focus. I knew it wouldn't be as cool of a composition if I just photographed all of the berries together, so I decided to focus on a grouping of them. I used a small aperture and a low shutter speed since there was plenty of natural lighting.
This image could relate to an environmental issue such as non-processed foods; maybe focusing on eating organic foods.

This image was supposed to represent chaos, so I wanted the subjects to go outside of the frame. Chaos to me means unorganized, sporadic, and jumbled. I thought the composition turned out pretty close to what I pictured. To get this angle, I stood directly over it. I think this angle shows the reflection of the silverware as well as gets across a chaotic feel.
The concept for this photo came to me with the prompt of "chaos". After brainstorming about the prompt, I realized that silverware would be the perfect subject because it displayed the prompt but wasn't too literal. It was during the day that I shot this photo, and the lighting from the nearby window fell perfectly on the silverware. I suppose that this image could relate to the issue of the roles of housewives.

This image is of the capital building in Lansing. It was actually a series of pictures that I took using my zoom lens. However, it was the furthest away photo that turned out the best. I wanted to show the life/area around the capital so the audience could see the atmosphere around the building. Compositionally, I like I like how I centered the capital, and there are more of the business buildings on the left, but on the right are the old-fashioned lamp posts. So, one see's different sides of the city. I drive down this street every day for work, and I thought it would make a great photo.
I think this image could relate to the topic of the effects of politics on a community.

 This image I couldn't help but love (even though my dog looks so sad). For the composition, I decided to put him off center to make it more interesting. Although I wish he were on the other side, since his head is pointing to the right. The lighting is interesting in this photo. I'm not sure if I like it, but I' not sure if it could have been any better. The shadow is from my house, and I don't think it would have turned out the same or had the same tone if he were completely in sunlight. To create this image I was following my dog around the house and outside while I was trying to experiment with different angle and placement.
I think this image could relate to the topic of animal abuse since it does have a darker, sad tone.
