I took this picture during the National School Walkout in April 2018. The walkout was held to honor the students who passed away at Majory Stoneman Douglas High School during the shooting. As I was outside interviewing students and taking photos for our April issue of The Mustang Post, I noticed that Isaac Mayo, a boy in the year below me, had made a t-shirt in honor of the event. I knew we were still in need of a cover photo, so I asked him if he would let me capture it. Isaac's and the flagpole's positions create an interesting frame for the title of the paper. With these two figures as well as the tree, there is balance in the photo. Also, the sun in the top right corner serves as a back light on the subject, creating a dramatic effect.
