The thing I'm most passionate about this week is summer vacation! I originally intended to focus on the whole last day of school, mostly from the adult perspective with shots of the staff party afterwards etc, but had soooooo many great shots of the kids I decided to change my focus. When I couldn't narrow down my photo pics to just five though, I then decided to focus on that transition point right as school ends and summer vacation begins. Even so I ended up with 6 photos. Oh well. I call this, "12:05 to 12:15" Enjoy. I know I am :)
Additional note: Please respect the privacy of the subjects of these photos. I do not have their permission to publish. Our secretary said it would be OK to use the photos for class purposes, but for class purposes only. Do not share beyond our class. Thanks.
ReplyDeleteI love the photos and thought you did a great job. My favorite is the kids waving out the bus window as it drives off and the adults waving back saying goodbye. The angle of the turn in the road, the yellow curb, and white line in the road all had good placement and brought my eye into the photo. I can feel the emotion and excitement of the kids and teachers. The first photo has nice movement with an excited little girl running out the door. I also loved the teacher hugging the little boy, you can't help but be moved by the affection. The last one makes me sigh with releaf that another year of school is over and summer can commence! Only the confetti is left to tell the tail.

Ruth, these are marvelous. Your photos really make the viewer feel as if they are experiencing the scenes rather than merely being an audience. And your photos are very crisp. Very impressive!
ReplyDelete6 pictures tell 6000 words! GREAT storytelling capture of a slice of time that will never be the same....EVER
ReplyDeleteYou have done a great job capturing the emotions of the last day of school. Including the last photo was an excellent idea.
