4/28: Old School

I took some pictures at an old school at the El Toro Marine Base.
The housing at the base is all boarded up and fenced off, but the school is still accessible.
I don't think it's been used for a while though. Click the picture below to see the Old School gallery.

You've got a great eye for this Jeremy. Old school, for sure.

I love taking photos of stuff like this. Great job, sir! Good title, too

Great composition - well seen and good job lowering the camera position. Too bad there wasn't a Big Chief tablet lying there on the ground beside it!

I think you captured a deserted school quite well. Good choice of B&W.

Very iconic. I find deserted buildings so difficult to access - maybe its easier over there?
Leo Charette29-Apr-2005 20:19
Excellent composition. B&W makes it!

great shot!

Great tone and composition. I love the upright and upside down desks together (polar opposites as it were). It also makes you feel melancholy about school and your youth as you see these desks in disrepair.

Excellent detail Jeremy, nicely captured.

I think this image does the most to convey the sense of abandonment and neglect out of the whole bunch.
Guest 29-Apr-2005 11:20
excellent capture..I like the toning..
Guest 29-Apr-2005 10:18
love the tones.
now those are the tinest desks that i have seen for a while. :)
pretty battered up as well.

Abandonment, neglect is what I see. Wow, poignant!

Thanks for the hint, by the way.

Nice b&w Jeremy. Great contrast as always. But your tones are... perfect:)
Good work.
P.S. I hope that today or tomorrow I will upload to my new table computer and screen. We will see the results...

I had a desk like that when I was small
Guest 29-Apr-2005 05:39
a great capture ! Jeremy
Guest 29-Apr-2005 05:07
I wonder why one of the desks has such short legs ... sad feelings evoked by your image ... :(
Guest 29-Apr-2005 04:43
Very nice black and white. It's though provoking and moody.
Guest 29-Apr-2005 03:14
wow, this is great!
Guest 29-Apr-2005 03:13
It's a sad one...but the composition is very great.
Guest 29-Apr-2005 02:48
There's a lot of emotion in such a picture. Well seen. And once again, I like your black and white treatment.
