As I walked out of my apartment to go to class it was a
perfect early autumn morning, nearly 70s without a cloud in the sky. Every
morning my journey to campus starts with me unlocking my bike, and carrying it
down a flight of stairs. The next picture I included was the picture of the
homeless man looking for cans in the alley behind my apartment. While this is
not something that I see on a daily basis I wanted to include it in the map
because it stuck out to me. Having never lived near a big city before coming to
campus, I am not used to seeing poverty like this up close and in person. As I ride through the alley that the homeless
man was in I usually smell trash because there are dumpsters every 50 ft. for
the length of the alley. The next picture was taken while riding down Lane, at
this point in my ride everything is usually a blur because I am so focused on
keeping up with traffic and not getting hit by a car. During this period I am
not usually to aware of what is going on to either side of the street. The next
picture was taken as I turned off of Lane, I am not sure what street it is but
I always take a left when I get to the JO North. The final picture was taken as
I approached Ohio Stadium, my final destination. Once I get to the point in my
ride that I can see the stadium I start to imagine the stadium on game day, on
cue I can hear the band playing in my head. I thought this was interesting, but
it does not surprise me that after watching Ohio State football for as long as
I can remember, the stadium reminds me of game day. To make my piece look more like a map then
just clippings of random pictures I made a line from where I start my journey
to where I arrive at class.
