School’s Out

Timeline

Thinking about how happy it was to be a kid this time of year, with Christmas arriving and school being out and I ran across this old 35mm film image I shot years ago. It made wonder how long this school had been “out” and were all the kids celebrating Christmas with their kids and grand kids by now.

I call it Timeline because it reminds me of time marching across the wall as the weather and nature in general has slowly moved into the room. It looks as if the vines are reaching in to see if they can grab a piece of that broken chalkboard. All the chalkboards in this school were frosted glass painted black on the back and were obviously favorite targets of vandals. Maybe some folks got in and broke the chalkboard to get even for earlier “homework” assignments they had issues with.

Man vs Machine

Man Vs. Machine

Winter is not quite here but you know this is coming.   The time when we will have to lookout for sliding vehicles and slippery ground, specially when our paths cross like you see in the image.

I shot this looking out our condo window and was struck by the simple pattern of “crossed paths”.
