Gatsby, #3

Description

Finalist
The AP Literature class had a luncheon a couple of days after they sat for the exam and the students dressed up as literary characters. When I saw the great outfit this young lady had put together, I suggested a mini shoot outdoors using our building, most of which dates from about 1915, as a setting.

Nikki McDonald level-classic July 16, 2010

Thanks, everyone. The literary character Gatsby was, of course, a man but Emma is very much a girl and she really put a lot of time into putting together her costume. The poses were all hers. I just said things like "Why don't you try one standing over there by that window with your elbow on the window ledge" and she did the rest. #8767345
