This photo depicts a scene of children and teachers at play in a field. Although the teacher appears to have noticed the camera taking the shot, she appears to have been taken by surprise. Thus, I assume that this photo is most likely an impromptu shot. The main subjects in the picture include a teacher, dressed in a patterned long-sleeve shirt and skirt, as well as several children who look relatively young.

This photo depicts a scene typical to that found in stadiums where sports events are held. This photo appears to be an impromptu shot, where nobody has been specifically asked to pose for the shot.

There are four girls in the foreground. They appear to be cheerleaders, cheering for a sport that is taking outside the picture. I think the members for their school team will feel very encouraged to know that their friends are cheering for them, and will give their best effort to win the match.

This photo depicts a scene of several wheel-chair bound persons waiting in line or in the midst of boarding a bus which seems to have been specially altered to accommodate their needs. The bus has a ramp that is attached it, to allow them to enter the door - which has also been specially widened - more easily. The people in the group are probably friends and volunteers who are about to bring them on a field trip, which would explain the name tags worn by several of the people in the picture, as well as the bus built with its special accommodation.

In the centre of the picture is a disabled man with a beret. He is boarding the bus on the ramp with help from two men. One of them wears a flowered shirt, and has his hand extended towards him, as though hoping to help pull him up onto the bus which he has already boarded. The other is positioned behind the wheelchair, with both his hands on the handles and helping to push him up the ramp.

Oral Picture Day2

This picture depicts a scene that one might typically find in a salon that takes on apprentices. Here, the training apprentices are having a practical, hands-on session, working on the hair of dummies. In the foreground, near the left of the picture, there is also a bottle of conditioner. This, and the fact that most of the dummies hair look rather limp, probably means that these women had not only been practising their hair-dressing skills, but also their ability to handle hair washing as well. I assume that these women are in training, and not really yet professional due to this, and I should think that it is highly likely that they will move on to style the heads of real humans once they graduate.

While majority of the women in the picture are working with long hair, the presence of the two dummies in the bottom right corner tells otherwise. Unless that is all that is left of a once long wig, I think they are practising their skills on short-haired dummies, probably in anticipation of a clientèle that would too include one or two persons with shorter hair. This is a good practise, since after all, one does not choose one's clients. Presumably, the other women will later move on to text their abilities with handling short hair after they have finished.

Starting from the right of the picture, is a woman, with her hair drawn back in a bun. She is also wearing a cardigan, with the sleeves rolled up, over a striped shirt and simple jewellery in the form of a necklace and rings. She appears to be hard at work, concentrating intently on her task at hand, with her eyebrows slightly drawn together, as though frowning in concentration. This is in sharp contrast to the other three women next to her, all of whom are wearing smiles. The one closest to her, in a dark button-up shirt with medium sleeves and a V-shaped collar, is only mildly showing her amusement as she combs through the hair, while the lady to her left, in a patterned shirt, has half of a grin on her face as she curls the hair of her dummy with tongs. The woman who is obscuring her, being nearer to the foreground, and wearing a white spaghetti-strapped tank top, seems to particularly relish her job. She has her hands held up, and seems to be considering the hair as though estimating the amount that she would need to cut. Finally, the woman with a necklace over her white sleeveless shirt that is a slight way off from the group, to the left of the picture has her face set in concentration as she combs out the hair, scissors at the ready in her right hand. There is also another long-haired dummy by her side, though there doesn't seem to be anybody working on it at the moment that this shot was taken.

Overall, I think this impromptu shot was taken when none of their prior knowledge. Or if they had known, they have done a good job of not showing it. None of them are looking at the camera, being absorbed in their own tasks and conversation. I think that these women are likely to graduate to become respectable professionals at hair dressing if they continue to practise as they do, and show as much passion and joy as they now show as they practise.

Had Xenia wanted to be snarky, she would have probably replied on how utterly lugubrious she elt at the very sound of those pesky words. But no, she refrained, mainly because she was bored, but also partly because the girl had an expression that one gets alot when one goes round barging into toilets, and the person was just a step away from reviling oneself. She would say so in fact, had it not been so obvious that they were of a disparate mindset. With the idea still extant in her mind, Xenia got up from the chair, shoving the seat back noisily, earning herself another glare, and once again, ever the cocky delinquent, she set off.

"I beg amnesty," Xenia's smile never faltered since her surprise five minutes ago, "I have been blunt, and my legion of words have been enough to cause unnecessary strife--"

"Can I go back to my book now?"

"...Certainly then. Though speaking with you did cause some nostalgia--"

"Yeah, in a place where npoice is rife. Shut up and go away."

"Unfortunately, I deem your observation of my fallaciousness as completely irrelevant. I'm just merely a buff of pure, utter enthusiasm. You look rather the type with the latent ability to be like me too."

She sniffed, and pulled the book closer to her. "I sure hope not. The world's not big enough to accomodate two of the likes of you."
