Since these are the borring type of posed photos I can only laude your technical skill, and what skill it is. The greyscale, exposure, developing... all show that you have control of the medium. I do like how you have the subjects focusing on someone else. I will have have to post my equally predictable shots of my prom as soon as I can find another scanner.
