These are my final proposed pairings before jumping into posters. I made a few more focusing on the characteristics of the community.

First round of pairing proposals. 
After compiling tons of line studies we had to find the line work in Kansas City. More specifically we were to find these in Architecture. I enjoyed this part of the process for many reasons. The two main being photography and concept. After our small group critiques there are some formal issues I still need to resolve. Some of my pairings are too much of a stretch. These are ones like images 5, 6, 7, 10. Also some alignment needs to be fixed in 4 and 13. Lastly there are some that are cropped in so tight that we loose the essence of Kansas City. They aren't specific enough to one location, making them problematic. These are pairings like 1 and 2.
