Letting the Days go by

The last day of classes came and went without fanfare or ceremony.
As I walked into the bookstore to buy some tape for the construction of the portfolio for my Photography course, it seemed like any other Thursday. When I arrived in the basement of the Fitzgerald, I begun to sort the good from the bad, […]
