76 - Tryptich

My project!!!! I am so happy with how it turned out. My vision for all three pictures came out as good as I ever thought they would. Not perfect, but close!

The goal was to stage three quotations.

1.  From Bertrand Russell: "The secret to happiness is to face the fact that the world is horrible." The pictures in white and black that you see behind my friend and reflected in the mirror are of mass murders, the famished, and so on. 
2. From Leonard Cohen: "There is a crack in everything. That's how the light gets in." I think the picture speaks for itself. :)
3. From Victor Hugo: "La femme a une puissance singulière qui se compose de la réalité de la force et de l'apparence de la faiblesse." Having a string women falter under a barbel of light, I don't think I could have expressed the quote any better!

I also wanted a common element between each picture, which ended up being a rose in a small bottle of champagne. Unfortunately, I completely forgot to include it in the third picture. Luckily, Photoshop fixed that!

I am thrilled with this project. I can't wait to start a new one!
