Urban Landscape assignment

You are going to shoot a series of images on the theme of Urban Landscape. UT is located in an urban area and it is not far from downtown Toledo. There is plenty of material to work with.

You can complete this assignment with any camera you have access to. By Tuesday, I expect you to have taken no less than 30 photos. They are to be photos of at least 20 different things. No two images should be of the same thing. You should create a series of 20 different images (at least). That may mean you have to take 100+ to get 20 that are different enough for the assignment.
