7/366: first day of the semester


I can't believe that school is back in session already, though the payoff of the early start is that we finish in April. It is so striking to see bulletin boards that are completely empty like this. They are usually crammed full of competing crap, a visual allegory of modern consumerism. Seeing them blank, I only really see the future clutter when the board is so full that it is essentially empty. Just like modern consumer culture.

Yes, there's not much there in terms of form, composition, color, or lighting--so I figured it needed a narrative critique.
