Premium Photo Competition 2013 Q2 : Entry Number 361

Abandoned school with the spirits of the students still present? Very interesting photo.

Many thanks for the "Mark of Excellence"! I'm really happy about the recognition. My name is Michael Schoenrock and I'm a Rocker at heart, born 1962. For this picture I have used a Leica M 240 and a Leica 2/50mm Apo Summicron. I process all my pictures with Lightroom 5 and the Black & White pictures typically get a Nik Silver Efex Pro treatment. I'm a big fan of painting with the light that is already there and to use the Software actually only for developing the picture, like it was done in the film days.
