p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · Japan----High School Classroom


When I was there, the Japanese educational system was based on the principle of: "You snooze- you lose."
I saw no snoozing.
In fact, for the half hour that my host (a Japanese professor of English) and I were in this classroom- I didn't even see any students look at me after their teacher had made quick introductions.
And back then (30+ years ago), an American of English/German descent was not a common sight in a traditional classroom such as this.

Nice to see cultures taking the education more serious than some countries

Nice tones Charlie

Very nicely done Charlie.. The aisle provides a great lead into the image, while the two students in the foreground frame it nicely.

Hey Shugart, very nice image. Snappy B-W conversion.
The students need a desk upgrade

Thanks Phil, Ryan, Medowlark and Charles.
Actually- this was shot way back in my B&W film days- before switching to Kodachromes.
I recently scanned the negative and then processed it.
As an elementary school teacher- I never had problems getting students to work- although a teacher never really knows how hard the students are trying (tests are only a partial indicator).
But I quit some 30+ years ago because I could see the trend coming. You know, the "Hooray for me and the hell with you" trend that now dominates much of American life.

This is a very good photograph, and the crop is an excellent choice.

I like the amount of contrast - a white and black point.
