Final



We can easily forgive a child who is afraid of the dark; the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light. I focused on the second part of the sentence for my three pictures. ''the real tragedy of life is when men are afraid of the light", to me this meant that a man is afraid to give the truth or he is scared to receive the truth. In my series I took it literal on the second photo by putting the hood over him and having light hit the face thats showing. In the series as well I made sure you can't really depict who the guy is. My first photo I made some edits in Lightroom  making a blue, cool lighting and darkening the exposure. In the middle I tried the photo in color and it gives more meaning in black in white I raised the contrast and darkened the photo. The last photo I didn't do anything to it because I didn't have to.

Gratitude



 I'm thankful for the Bay Bridge, because if the bridge wasn't there I wouldn't be able to see my family. I love seeing my family I go to the city all the time to see my niece and nephew and my brother. In Lightroom I made the top, with cross process 2 setting and changed the temp. to more the blue side and put black vignette. (middle) I put a yesteryear and put the temp. to -23 and that was it.  (4th) I made a direct positive and put the temp. at -19 and lowered the exposure , and put higher contrast ( +5). (last) I put the saturation for yellow to +100 tint +9, temp. -28 , and I rose the exposure.
