A good friend called and offered me a weekend gig as a scenic painter for a commercial being shot locally. The hours were a good and the pay was great! The best part of course was working with some really funny and witty people. We were painting some rooms in an old Catholic elementary school that has been closed for a while. I could hear the ghost of children’s voices throughout the rooms and picture the hustle and bustle that once passed through the halls. I shot this on the main stairwell during lunch break. Another gray and rainy day and it fit my melancholy feel of the place.
