The stairwell leading down to the basement at Gutenberg is one of the few (usually) truly quiet places to study at the school. Today, as I sat at the head of the stairs reading The Odyssey in preparation for this afternoon’s discussion, my friend Jackie passed by.
“I wish I could take a picture of you, Erin! The light and colors right here look so good right now.”
Sounded like a challenge to me. So, being the undying photography geek that I am, after I finished my reading I spent five or ten minutes figuring out how to prop up my camera at the bottom of the stairs so the shot would be framed JUST SO… then I hit the self timer and ran back up the stairs to pose before the shutter clicked.
I really like the peaceful feeling this photo ended up having. It seems to represent the way that I am slowly but surely settling into life at Gutenberg College.
Or, as Noah put it: “That picture is so emo.”
So anyway. I’ve had my burst of creative energy for the day; now it’s time to settle myself back into schoolwork.

I usually don’t like emo things, but I like the photo. I’ve written an emo haiku in celebration:
Black hole of a heart.
I love you, you heinous bitch.
Love me. Emo scream.

This is a pretty picture looking for a pretty product to sell. You can be Maria Sharapova in college.
