The student balances a laptop on her knees, while Columbia's Alma Mater statue balances a heavy book on hers. Wonderful juxtaposition here, Tim. In my own image of this statue (http://www.pbase.com/pnd1/image/110780886 ) I stress the vertical energy of its gesture by using a vertical frame, placing the hands of the statue over two of the flanking vertical columns. I also rendered the image in black and white.
