Doing anything that involves having to leave my house is hard. Also being anywhere with to many people (1 to anything greater than 1 is too many) makes my introverted self want to hide or be ignored by everyone. So, going through downtown Ann Arbor and having to walk around other people made me regret everything I had done to get to that point. Walking up and down the same few feet of sidewalk and pointing a camera up to the sky also probably did the opposite of what introvert me would want and probably made people notice me more. After getting all the pictures I needed from this building I jumped back into my dads car so fast that I could have broken a world record, or at least that's how I felt.
I don't think I was ready to get out of the car for this picture, or for any picture. Also because I was so desperate to go home I didn't figure out what these buildings are for. These pictures where hard to take because of the tree right next to them. There weren't that many people walking around here at that moment. I still didn't like being near the few people I saw.
To take pictures of this building I had to cross the street. My dad is a bit overprotective so he said not to cross until he tells me to. I didn't even finish opening the door to the car when he was already saying, "Don't cross yet.". There weren't any cars when I was finally allowed to cross. Crossing back took longer since a lot of cars decided to show up. I start to notice around here that I'm getting further away from other people with each building I chose. It makes me feel a lot better when I can take pictures and not a single person walks on the same sidewalk as me. I think I was able to pay more attention to my pictures on my own. I tried to avoid the lamps and bushes underneath the building for my picture. It's okay since taking pictures of buildings from the top looks cool. Unlike all the other buildings I am familiar with this one. I went here on a field trip once and remember making a flower on a clay tablet. It was pretty empty here when I was taking pictures, but as soon as I turned around and started walking back to the car I heard footsteps behind me and they were running. I freaked out a bit and even though I was walking further away the footsteps were getting closer, but I didn't look back until I was at the car. Behind me a police woman and man where running to their cars and on the way out of downtown Ann Arbor I came across police cars twice and they were all flashing. |
