February 19




I love working in a high school. I am so lucky to have my job! The school I work in is the older of the two high schools in Grand Forks. The building is very traditional in it's structure. There is some beautiful architecture throughout the building. These photos are of a very common "shape" around a high school!

All photos shot with 50mm lens. ISO was bumped up to 800 (no natural light in this hallway) and f/5.0. Used Christy's Simply BW conversion.

Very cool angles.

It's amazing the feelings seeing a locker evokes, isn't it?

I love working in school too- but I work with little people.

You did such a great job with the DOF and the clarity! WOW, I only wish my photos were half as clear. The subject matter brings me straight back to HS. I especially like the second shot, girl that is freaking awesome, you really made an everyday object become something more!

Love these shots!

Love the shapes and the DOF, angles, and focus are great. I love in the last shot how one locker looks like a different texture than the rest.

The second is my favorire as well as the conversion. Neat shapes and great way to think outside of the box. tfs.

Great way to do the theme!! Love the b&w!!

The last photo is spot on!! I like how the thrid locker in is shinny, it makes a good focal point in the photo, and I like how all the lines go somewhere!

GREAT JOB!

cheers,

love these! they bring back such memories.... although I don't think I've ever seen full length lockers before! nice b/w.

HeyLady said...

Those look so neat! I don't remember ours being quite so uniform or clean. There was always one locker that was all bent up.

I took photos of the lockers at my school and they did not turn out half as good as yours here! Great shots and very creative as well.
