Week 3 - Photos and Images

I like this photo for a number of reasons. The first is because the phrase "old school" is used a lot and this is truly old school. My dad owns a set of desks like those pictured. I love the artistry of the iron scroll work on the desk supports. As children, my siblings and I pinched our fingers in the seats that slid up and down and  we dropped things through the ink well hole into the desk as we played school.

I also like the colors. With the warm colors and the sunlight streaming in through the back window it looks like an inviting place to pick out a book and just read - although a comfortable chair or plush carpet wouldn't be completely unwelcome.

Lastly the willow tree outside the window looks like the perfect place for a warm summer day. A place to sit beneath and read, nap, or daydream.

The scuff marks and signs of wear on the flooring and desks suggest years of use and streams of endless knowledge.
