Like most other dorm rooms, especially those in NYC, this rectangular dorm room isn’t too large. The only unused space is the open path from the door to the other side of the room, where the windows are situated. Two girls occupy this room so most of the furniture consists of doubles. This room is mostly symmetric as both sides of the room almost mirror each other.

On both corners of the room against the back wall on opposite sides of the door are two beds, taking up most of the room’s length from the back wall to the front wall. Below each of these high beds are 3 drawer sets each of which containing 2 drawers. Between the foot of the beds and the front window is a desks followed by a closet on each side. The closets are around half the width of the desks. Beneath each desk sits a chair. Following the closets are small amounts of space, were a coat hanger stands on each side. At the front of the room against a window is a table with up to four shelves. On the top shelf sits a TV screen. This TV screen is directly opposite the door, where the mirror hangs.

This room is almost used to its maximum extent, but it doesn’t feel as cramped as you would think thanks to its large window bringing in natural light, giving the room an open feeling. The light blinds allow a lot of sunlight in, making the room feel almost refreshing.

Nothing in this room is bare. The beds are covered with pink, green, blue, and purple sheets and pillows, bringing this room alive. The desks are covered, from top to bottom with frames, books, papers, beauty products, pencils, and whatever you would imagine an average girl would need. Above each closet sit two transparent boxes consisting of towels and sheets. The coat hangers are covered with multiple coats, towels, and bags. The walls are covered with artwork, posters, and pictures. A colourful rug sits between both beds on the open pathway, giving the room a more homey vibe, breaking the plainness of the room.

This room is lived in, and used well. It doesn’t feel empty, but full of life.

Think of a mustard yellow car; now picture this car with a taxi sign on top. The image I selected is a vertical and up-close photograph of the taxi, so only part of the taxi is captured. The front and back of the taxi are cropped out of the photo. The taxi lies in the background, while a woman stands in the foreground.

The back door of the taxi happens to be open, and coming out of this taxi, or rather standing by the door, on the left side of the photo is a women dressed in black. She takes up most of the photo. Her arm rests on the door, creeping out of the open window. Most of her arm up until her shoulder is on the other side of the window, while her hand rests just above her hips. Only her left leg is seen. It seems like she is leaning her leg against the car. As the bottom of the photograph is a blurred shade of yellow, it is hard to tell what lies on the bottom of the photo. The woman’s head stands high and tall, at the top left side of the photo. Her face and gaze are directed to the top left side of the photo. She is wearing a black hat, and her hair seems to be short or hidden under the hat. She is also wearing earrings, but only her left ear is visible because the right side of her face is not seen. Below her exposed neck is a black silky dress that covers her body, covering everything from her neck to her knees. Even her hands are covered with black gloves that almost seem to be a part of the dress.

A black and white checkered line lines the top of the taxi, just above the car doors. The taxi sign above the taxi resembles a rectangular shape about 7X2 in in Size with the word TAXI printed in black. Black printed text lies on the front door and is partly hidden.

The photo is dull yet bright. It is set outdoors so it is lit, but not as much as you’d expect a photo taken during the day and outdoors to be. . The woman is dressed in black and everything but the taxi seems to be dark.
