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.
