The one that finally didn’t get away

Being a teenager is dramatic but we all know that, I don’t have anything particularly new, interesting or insightful to add to the topic. A long series of events (none of which included me getting pregnant, thank you very much) had my parents and I school shopping. We lived too far away for me to attend any of the private day schools in the area so my parents decided to look at a nearby boarding school. I was sold at “boarding school,” I needed no further information.

Since I was 16 I wanted to take this picture, and I’ve taken many close approximations. But, honestly, I had crap cameras and no understanding of color, light or composition. These days I know about those things, but I don’t let it get in the way of my picture.

This is home.
