| Modern Day Captain
In this diptych I compared real to fake. Over the 4-day weekend I went for a walk in down-town Cannon Beach and on my way back I was passing a statue and to my surprise this old man who coincidentally looked almost exactly like the statue. The wrinkles in their face, the hat, the coat, and the body position is all similar to each other. I quickly took a few shots of him seeing that I knew this would make a great diptych. When editing this image I made the old man skinnier in appearance to match the statue more. I used the brush tool to blur the backgrounds in both images. I tried to match the blue in their coats as much as possible and I used the brush tool to take down the exposure in the color of the old mans originally grey pants. to make them black like the wood carving. I changed the color in the face and beard of the statue to make him more resemble the old man.

| Life After Death
In this image I am using the comparison of life to death. When editing the photograph of the dead bird I tried to create a contrast in value by making it black and white and then increasing the light and dark areas of the image. To me, life is full of color and death is dark, so when putting the two images together I left one in color and the other in black and white.

| Christmas Tree
In this triptych I took a photo of a tree that had been naturally uprooted most likely by a storm and landed on the beach, it reminded me of a christmas tree. The second image in this triptych is a photo of my Christmas tree. The third image is of a fern in water with it's seedlings still intact and they reminded me of Christmas ornaments, the shape of it and the color of green versus red reminds me of Christmas as well.

| Prohibited
All three of these images were taken at the beach. Yes, it is prohibited to shoot fireworks on the beach but almost every time my family goes down to our beach house we light fireworks as a tradition. My dad is a pyromaniac and I dedicate this triptych to him :)
