Being a college student is definately not an easy task especially if you want to be sucessful. A tiny mess up and you can screw up your whole life's plans as well as leaving a whole in your pocket. However, is this simply what I am capturing? Or is there more to the story?

I was sitting in Starbucks on a rainy night trying to get all my term papers out of the way. I had my camera on me as well ( how focused am I?), and I noticed a man maybe a couple more years older than I sitting in the corner of the room reading a newspaper. I made quick glances to admire him from afar but never once did I made it apparent. I continue to work on my things when I noticed from the corner of my eye that the man had his paper away from his face and was gazing towards my direction. I secretively looked up and noticed that this gentleman was infact looking at me, and apparently he had done so very often. I grabbed my camera once more and was about to take a photograph, however, I felt awkward. I was thinking about changing my style and doing more photojournalism pieces because they always seemed more interesting and creative than a simple self portrait. So, I took a picture of this student working, however the hidden intention was to capture a moment- a glance- a secret only known between him and I.
