HOW TO ESCAPE YOUR PRISON

I am enamored with picture sequences, though in practice, I am not as effective as I would like to be. Here’s an example. Recently, while walking through the local community college commons I came across this; near the pool tables:

I immediately began taking a few pictures. I like playing a little game of balancing elements around the frame. A few feet away two young guys were playing pool, talking tough, that kind of thing. Then one of them saw me and became a little agitated.

Tough Kid: “Ey! What do you think you’re doing?”
Me: Click. Click.

With his pool cue he thrust “HOW TO ESCAPE YOUR PRISON” across the table.

Kid: “Hey, that’s my book.”
Me: Click. Click.

Kid: I mean I don’t care or anything.
Me: *smile*

The kid then walked away. He mumbled something derogatory to his friend, who laughed maliciously. I had my picture.
