The OFFICE BOY


There is a story to be told from this photo. I've given you the title, The Office Boy, so now we just need the story behind those eyes. Is it a coming of age story in 1957 Bahrain of a young boy surrounded by people intent on wealth?



Another snapshot taken by Donald G. Schnabel in 1957 Bahrain.

  1. I'd bet he's chairman of the board now. Both he and the janitor have that same stiff pose as the boys standing in line by the road. People not used to cameras.

    1. He does have that look of someone who is unsure what is being asked of him. Probably never saw this photo of himself, but told his family of it being taken.

  2. Maybe he is just thinking "Thank gosh I don't work for Dunder Mifflin!!
