Exploring Downtown LafayettE, INDIANA

Recently I decided to venture out from the university campus and explore the nearby surroundings of Lafayette, Indiana. Above are a couple of the images that I captured as a walked around the area. I especially like the first image with the red pickup truck because it makes me think of the American mid west. I like all of the intersecting lines from top to bottom, and the primary colours that are present. Particularly the little flashes of yellow on the road and in the background. I tried editing this photograph in black and white with the contrast increased in an attempt to draw attention to the strong lines but I eventually came back to the colour version because I thought it didn't fully 'work' without the colour. I'm going to try and make the most of being in the American mid west while I still can.
