Perspective
To many, this must look like a camera, but to a WSS photographer, this is their passion.

Shutter Speed
Patrick Taylor ‘20, makes a picture using a camera called Question Man
Utilizing a slow shutter speed and a flashlight, one can “draw” in the air using light, much like a sparkler on the Fourth of July,
Lines
Sam Fennell-Chametzky ‘20, stands straight up in front of three columns, creating a perception of verticality using lines.
The view from the floor of West High is not thought of by many, but more is down there than at first appearance.
Using a slow shutter speed, a phone flashlight, and a dark room, I created patterns and designs by moving the flashlight, letting the camera take it all in.

Free Form
A row of lockers in the hallway go on one after another, seemingly forever
Unlike most lockers, I find these interesting, as they have a more traditional lock on them, a padlock.
A substitute walks down the hallway, quiet in the long periods between passing time.
Often times, detail can be neglected. On the wooden seal in the West High foyer, one can clearly see the good quality of craftsmanship that when into these piece of artwork.
