 I love this shot but I'm not sure if it has enough generic appeal to score well at DPC. I like the contrast and the lines. This girl and her sister are beautiful and were a pleasure to shoot. They are homeschoolers and therefore have never experienced the wonderful world of school photos. The lighting was perfect...I just waited for a cloud to cover the sun and all was well.

Shot in RAW - RAW conversions. CS3 - levels, curves, neat image, dodge/burn, convert to b&w, blur, unsharp mask, vignette, crop, save for web.

I feel like she's waiting outside the DMV to get her license. She's on her way up in life - stairs - but can't really go any further for the time being. Good story shot, at least for me :)

She sat, alone, and pouted.

What am I doing here? Where am I going? Will I pass this year? Will I ever graduate? Why don't my teachers like me and why are they always on my case and why do I always get so much homework and why doesn't Danny call me anymore he said he would and he says he loves me but Jenny says he saw him with Angie on the weekend and I hate him I'll show him I'll hit on Trevor I think Trevor likes me but he smokes and I don't like smokers and my dad would kill me if he thought I was seeing a smoker oh no I told dad I'd get home right away to help him clean out the garage I'm in shit I bet he doesn't let me watch Survivor tonight I'll have to find out what happens from Barbara and he'd better let me go to the party at Sarah's on the weekend and why does my life have... to...

SUCK.

Well planned and composed. I wish her face didn't appear so blown... Still i like the whole of the image... the pattern of the stairs with her interrupting the pattern. (not voting yet)
