bartleby, the scrivener

            This one is for "Bartleby, the Scrivener". 

I thought that I would dress up in a business outfit to fit the part :P
I chose a stapler because it is a common office thing. I wanted to have the stapler closing down on me to signify the pressure that Bartleby fought against to not conform to the office lifestyle. I did a black and white to show how drab office life can be. Sometimes we all feel little in a big corporate world.
