High School Nightmare 2


rsalguero

When I attended my son's high school graduation I stepped into the school's gym bathroom. While my son tells me the showers are not in use anymore, the gleaming tiles and chrome still challenges. I distorted the image in PS by using "wave." I wanted the manipulation to heighten the "chamber of horrors" appeal.

Csab', I can only guess from your comment that you are unsure what the "nightmare" is. Since I believe you live in the Netherlands, the joke in the title might not translate culturally. Perhaps the title should be "American High School Nightmare." I took this shot of a shower room in a high school gym. In this country most of these "communal showers" are no longer used (at least in public institutions). I don't know when this transition happened as I remember these type of showers very well from my high school days. The American male adolescent species is a bashful one and showers where you are 'exposed' to your colleagues are dreaded. The shared soap is another issue for the finicky, which is why I centered the soap dish centrally. I twisted the tiles to create a nauseous and woozy mood - similar to how someone (an American?) might feel about these shower rooms. Thanks for you comment. Rick.

i actually had no idea that this is what you mean. My fault; indeed, I live(at this moment) in the Netherlands, but never been in a highschool shower here. However, I don't expect the things being so serious like there over the Atlantic.

Thanks for explaining it:) i hope some others won't need explanations to appreciate the photo.

Have a good light.
