Day 5 : Thumbs Up



Taken: May 15, 2010
Camera: Sony a350
Hattiesburg, MS

Yesterday, my friend, Maxine, graduated from the University of Southern Mississippi. I sat out in the stadium for four hours. (Yes, the sunburn is quite fierce.) The speaker was Rudy Giuliani. I was so pleased that I got to hear someone as impressive as that. I don't even remember speakers for the other graduations I have attended. Anyways, so this is the shot I got of her after she crossed the stage and was walking back to her seat. She knew where we were sitting, so I was able to get this. Very minimal editing and of course, I added a lovely textured background. I love this shot because it really illustrates Maxine's personality. Who wants those stiff, grownup graduation pictures when you can have this?! :)
