Friday was my last day at Jin Jang Middle School here in Ulsan. It was a weird day as I went through a wide range of emotions but overall I feel that I am better off starting a new chapter in my life. I took my camera around the halls while the students were in class or heading home to pay the school one last somber tribute.
I chose to make these shots black and white for a number of reasons. First of all the weather that day was very grey and it just screamed for black and white shots. I also felt that the mood that I was in did not call for bright and colourful photos. Thus, I went with more of a darker feel and mood for these shots.

I know that feeling of leaving a school. Really like the 3rd shot with the hoops

Thanks John! It is a weird feeling and even more frustrating trying to find a new job at a university. However, things are looking up in other areas.
