Framing To the left Ellie Gretter ‘18 takes a step while doing her photography in a West High hallway. The window and stairwell frames her action in the picture. Above, Maddie Moriyama ‘18 poses looking down a stairwell as she is framed in her glasses. The effect of hair color change in this picture is a result from the light pouring in from the window to her left.
