photo essay

for my photo esaay, i have two ideas that i want to do it on. First off, i want to take picturtes of buildings in the detroit area and see how the architecture influences the surrounding areas and too see how it helps develop the detroit area. the second one is graffiti. i believe that graffiti is a good thing since it is a form of expression for people who do not have the chance to speak out.i will go around detroit and capture the graffiti to show the expression that people are providing.

graffiti





These are some graffiti images i found on the flickr website. I found that while looking at all of the graffiti images, it shows a distinct form of art. the bright colors and the collaboration of images expresses how people really feel. It colors the dark corners of our town and uplifts the dark areas. People feel that it degrades and demotes our cities and town, yet if you take a hard look at it, you can see the true expression in it.

Comerica topic

Since i am interested in this topic for my future papers, i was lookin online for more sources and articles. I ended up coming upon a story that said that the move Comerica is about to make is a good thing. The article said that we should be happy that they moved just the HQ, not all the brnaches in our state. It surprised me thought that someone would think that a direct decline to our society in our state would be a god thing. I agree with many other articles that I read saying that this is going to be a symptom with big buisnesses in Detoirt. THey see a booming market across the nation and there is no reason why they wouldn't leave. We need direct action now to help get a plan to save and to start building the economy if we want to have a stable economy.

What I MIght Want To Research

Recently, i have taken an interest in the comerica story on the news. I find this interesting since it affects our community so much. I take frequent trips down to Downtown Detroit and i see that it is slowly turning around. I am curious as to what is going to happen to that prgress once comerica leaves the city for good. Also, the story interests me because I am interested as why they are leaving and how they came to the conclusion of going to Dallas. I want to research the story more which will be the drive behind writing my last two papers.

My Own Backyard News

While looking at the news in my area, Livonia, i found that there is nothing interesting going on. Livonia had to have Redford news on the page just to have some stories. The top story was about an orchestra group celebrating their 51st anniversary. Other storys like a cat being rescued and what is happening this week at the local ice rink were on the list. Overall, i believe that Livonia is a boring place int erms of news and pretty much everything else.

Freep Cont.

They dont seem to cloud the facts with drama or anything of the sort. When i read the stories, it was just straight facts about the atory that they were writing about. This surprised me because i thought for sure that they would alter the story to make it sound so dramatic when it really isnt. I may be overlooking and maybe they are dramatizing the stories. But if they are, they are doing a good job at making it discreet.
