walking with Peggy

Aug 20, 07
10:30 a.m.
warm
JFKennedy High School walking with Peggy

trees outside classroom - how to identify?
bark, leaves, growth pattern


overall upright growth, some branches droop down

Quad - birds singing - trees


inside small quad by office -


different view inside "office quad"

Lots & lots of trees on campus, we wander all over, I try to i.d. trees, Peggy gets a little work done meeting other teachers. I think I found some kind of hawthorne tree by the dance teacher - maybe between E & F wings? I wasn't paying close enough attention...

noonish, warming



Out front I try to take a shot to color later - having exposure issues, just my internal light meter is a little dark today.





A row of large trees lines the front sidewalk, gives cool relief right now and frames the front view. The shade/sun combo are a tough exposure mix for my brain today - but I finally get it right -
