Peter R. Herring, an aspiring young photographer, decides going to school is probably the best thing for him to do with his life. At first Peter’s focus is simple, but he soon discovers a world having certain bureaucratic pitfalls which are inescapable. Opening a “Bad News” bill one morning, Peter discovers that the Bureau of Time-Management has declared him deliquent in his obligatory “Time-payments” and it has no choice but to “deduct time from his life.” Having time zapped away from him makes Peter late for everything. Being late causes disaster to stike, as he loses both his girlfriend and portfolio in advance of his deadline. Ironically the idea of time becomes one of the main pictorial themes characterizing his photography.
