boy in blue t-shirt writing on white paper

Captured in a metropolitan Atlanta, Georgia primary school, seated amongst his classmates, this photograph depicts a young Asian-American schoolboy, who was in the process of drawing with a pencil on a piece of white paper atop a table that had been covered by a layer of removable brown paper. Note how focused and intent he was on creating his artwork, seemingly oblivious to all the classroom goings-on that surrounded him. It is important to know that objects, including pencils, crayons, paper, etc., are known as fomites, and act as transmitters of illnesses.
