Conceptual/Still life

Still Life

The eagle in this photo has always reminded me of my grandfather , a carpenter, so I decided to shoot this at the woodshop in Dawson's basement to contrast the final product of a carpenters work and the raw materials (in the background on the shelves) that a carpenter would use to create something like this.
Narrative/Conceptual Image

From discussion narrative images in class, I found myself fond of the idea of an open ended   narrative image instead of one that  gives you every detail of what's happened, so for my image I wanted to make what happened somewhat not obvious. Clearly, something happened to someone in that room, but who is that stranger? Including the person in the doorframe was essential for me to make this photo "work" so to say so that you actually ask questions about the piece instead of just take one look and think you understand what has happened/what is going on.
