Description This is something I've been wanting to do for a while, and it took about 40 shots to get it right. I was using Crayola pencils, which bore the golden logo that kept shining on other pencils. In this picture, you can faintly see this in a couple of pencils towards the top - I attempted to edit it out in Photoshop, but couldn't get rid of it completely. But since this was the best of the bunch, I thought I'd share it with y'all...hope you enjoy it

NOTE: This photo is NOT promoting racism. Please stop with the racism comments.

this picture is very similar to [link] but I think yours is nicer because of the type of crayons you used, the border you had, and the lighting...great job

Why do you say crayons... I've always wondered.

I dunno...I think it's cause I grew up calling them "pencil crayons" so I just got used to thinking of them that way...

You know, I didn't think at all about racism...I saw "standing out above others", "being at the top of your class", "being ahead of the pack", being the best", "being first"

I can see where people would get a racist vibe but the message I get from this photo is more along the lines of "Stand out. Even if you don't stand out."
I like it!
