[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
"It was just another day in the life of Sherman Kornwold. His mom cooked him a breakfast that his dog wouldn't eat. When he walked to school, he got laughed at by all the rich preppys who drove by in their shiny red convertibles. When he went into gym class, which was first period, he almost instantly got tackled by half of the Morganson high school senior football team. They gave him a wedgie until his underwear was shredded to bits, and the only parts of it still in his pants were crammed up his butt. That first class on Monday, June 11, 1986 seemed like an eternity. When Sherman heard the bell ring, he ran out of the room like there was no tomorrow, and that's when his life changed.

There he saw standing at the end of the 3rd floor hallway was Deborah Sims, probably one of the prettiest girls in the school. He thought he was standing still until he looked down. His legs were pulling him towards her, but even if he tried, he couldn't stop walking till he wasn't more than 2 feet away from Deborah.

When she looked at him she noticed that he was pulling bits of brown underwear out of his pants. She began to laugh hysterically, turned and ran away. Sherman (who was probably the only one in the hall at that moment that didn't notice he was picking his wedgie) saw her laughing at him as her way of flirting..."

Beutiful scene.
We can imagine that the boy hesitate to approach the talking girls...But he is a little shy ???
Great light and tones.
Besst regards. Grazyna.

Merhaba Korkut.

Nice B&W picture with lovely contrasts! I like the atmosphere of daily-life you got...well done!

Rgs, Oscar

Very good shot!
It makes me remember those days, happy days, funny days!
I love your contrasts an use of lights, for painting and tones, great election in sepia, in order to give an ancient flavour.
Thanks for sharing and bring back our memories.
Best regards.
Manuel

Sephia tonları hoş ve nostaljik bir etki yaratmış, eski günlerimi hatırlarttı bana. Atmosferi çok iyi yansıtmışsın ki keşke daha çok okusam okusam okusam dedim ....
Tebrikler Korkut,

hi korkut
Great photo. Well composed with excellent depth and perspective. this is enough good technically to produce a great effect on my eyes, such a powerful scene, soft and serenity .

didier

Bu diger fotograflarina nazaran biraz zayif kalmis sanki. Isigi, golgeleri ve sepya tonu cok guzel ama bir bosluk duygusu hakim, sanki neyi cekecegine karar verememissin gibi. Ustteki borular da biraz bozuyor ambiyansi. Belki de negatif gunumdeyim bugun. Kendi fotograflarimi begenmiyorum ya, baskalarina da bok atiim dedim. ))))

Ela vre Korkut!
I like here fot the first time your sepia mode. That is the first point. Second, I like the deepness of your photo caused by your selected portrait format and last but not least.. see ya at skp tnt....
Father of Leonidas :-D

Geia sou bostani mou!

This dark and pesimistic atmosphere is present once again in this excellent photo! Fantastic perspective, framing and composition, amazing light managment! Congratulations, filaraki!

The Giritli

Bunun sepyası daha bi sarımtrak, daha bi Sherman Sherman olmuş (yusuf yusuf gibi yani). Zavallı çocuğun okulda ilk günü, benim okul hayatımın tüm günlerini bir bir özetler nitelikte. Yani: okuldan nefret ettim, yine gitsem yine ederim. Umarım ilerde çoluk çocuğum falan olursa onlar da nefret eder. Tabi o zamanlar fotoğraftan falan heberimiz yok, böyle güzel ışık, perspektif, kemerler memerler görmüşüzdür kesin ama, hem senden hem de Rela'dan gördüğüm üzre, bunların tadını çıkartmak anca hoca olunca oluyor. Neee! Hoca mı dedim?? Biri beni durdursun!!! Ucunda okul var ya, kutsal öğretmenlik mesleğini bile es geçerim....

Lovely composition with fine light condition and wonderful sepia tonalities , korkut , compliments.
Stefano.

Merhaba Korkut,
Geçen hafta Adıyamanda otel lobisinde sabah Nemrut minibüsünü beklerken,beni inanılmaz mutlu eden tesadüfle,TV.de liseyi yatılı okuduğum İzmir Kız Lisesi belgeseline rastladım,bu koridorlara benzer aynı tarz mimari yapısı ile 45 yıl öncesine ışınlandım ve yazın İzmire gitiğimde fotoğraf çekmek için mutlaka gitmeliyim diye düşündüm.
Konuya çok yakışan sepia çekimin banada fikir verdi şimdi ve düşüncemi pekiştirdi.Eline sağlık,tebrikler,selamlar

yumuşak gün ışığını ve sepya tonlarını çok sevdim.. yazdıklarınla fotoğraf birebir uyuyor walla. üst taraftaki boruları almasaymışsın keşke.. fakat bakınca çook anı canlanıyor, her nekadar DenizCan'a çekici gelmese de:)
Selamlar..

üstad selam,
her şey harika da sütunlar arası ışık ve oradaki detaylara bayıldım desem yeridir... Bu şu an beni de aldı götürdü M.Ö bilmem kaç yılına !!... ne de olsa bende haydarpaşa mezunuyum... :))
Ps: sadece lise son sınıfı okudum... o dönem okullar arası basketbolcu transferi çok yaygındı da.. Moran kolejde başlayıp, 2-3 yer dolaşıp haydarpaşa dan çıktım... :))
Kimseye çaktırma ama facebook da "kısa şortla basketbol oynayanlar" diye bir bölüm var -mış ... rivayete göre o bölümde bol fotoğrafım olduğu söyleniyor... hatta bir kısmı haydarpaşa forması altında :))

Olá Korkut,

only you to make the most of s daily scene. It would be an ordinary image if I shoot but here you show what we can do. I like the light that comes from the arcs. Well chosen sepia tone and good exposure. Well done!
Regards,
Carlos

Selam sevgili Korkut,
İnşallah bir gün bir zibidinin aklına bu güzel mekanları yıkıp, modernleştirme fikri gelmez.
Bu mekan gerçekten muhteşem.
Ama bu kare de den az mekan kadar güzel. Çok keyifli perspektif ve harika grafik etki.
Tebrikler
Selam ve sevgiler
MESUT ILGIM

PS. Benim bugünkü penceredeki yaratık, bana çok yakın biri !!!

Hi Korkut,

To me, this is a superb photo work that brings a stream of emotions into my mind. I like it very much, specially the B&W tone you’ve chosen. Fantastic!

Best regards,
JR

Students abuse again!
Do they know that their professor is a serial photographer?
Artistic daily life shot with excellent light. I think though, that you should had waited for a more catchy human presence (a student with miniskirt or some other sexy outfit for example).
Cheers
Andreas

I love how you have played with light here, a stunning picture compliments, also I've appreciated the sepia conversion, BRAVO!!!

ciao,
Fabio.

Hello Korkut,

Jolie composition, avec ces silhouettes bien placées, et ces belles arches.
Bonne soirée
Marie

Hi Korkut !
Really nice scene and perfect illustration to the story.
Like it as it is - nostalgic and sepia coloured as memoirs of youth use to be.
Greetings T.
