I took this photo while working for an Educational company, it was my first Job up here in Mammoth Lakes, CA, and my first job which involved Photography. One of the things I did was help them shot stock photos for this online testing application. For the most part, it was simple, straight forward shots of kids doing "school" like activities. One day.. I decided to get a little creative and play with the lighting against the black board.. and this series of photos was born.. Not exactly stock photo.. didn't quite fit the project.. but.. a little contrast, and saturation adjustments.. ...and One of my personal favorite shots came about... Sadly I don't have a copy of the RAW file..


(I think I spent the better part of the work day messing around with this and a few other photos from this shoot)


Something about, the blackboard, and the way this photo came out really relates to me..
