J02: Found Patterns

Here are 10 pictures of patterns that I found to be interesting.  Under each photo I provided a description, where, and when each specimen was found. 

I found this pattern on January 10^th on my back from a class.  It is the side of a building.  This design is very unique.  It is not the same pattern layer after layer.  The stones are all different sizes of rectangles.

This is a drain on one of the walk ways in between 17^th and 18^th street.  I took this image on January 13^th.  I was drawn to this pattern because of the equally spaced groves in the metal.

This is a trash can on the south oval taken January 11^th.  There are two different widths of the metal bars.  Even though they are different sizes the space in between the bars are the same. 

This is wood paneling on the side of my dorm.  This image was taken January 14^th.  The panel is symmetric in size, but unique when it comes to the design of each individual panel. 

I took this picture on January 10^th.  This is a stone layered walkway in between the main oval and the south oval.  The overall repetitiveness of the stones is what drew my eye towards them.  Each one is color coordinated and is the same size.

I took a picture of duct tape in my room on January 11th.  I examined this specimen for a while.  The repeated ridges are what make the tape easier to cut or rip. 

I took this picture was taken of my bed post on January 15^th.  The texture of this metal is very different than I expected.  It is a little bumpy and uneven throughout. 

I took this picture of a sewage hole covering on January 16^th.  I don’t know what this actually composes of but my guess is that it is some sort of metal.  I found this particular specimen interesting because the groves were difficult to see unless you got real close or you were looking for them to begin with.

This material is fleece.  I took this picture of my blanket January 14^th.  I have always been interested in what makes this material so soft and comfortable. 

This picture was taken of a tree January 12^th in the oval.  This pattern has a natural uneven uniformity to it.  The negative space in this object is what gives it the depth and a kind of interest in the form.
