Graduation

Chance occurs beyond intellect and provides a counter point to the inherent mechanical nature of photography. Photographic opportunities often arrive unexpectedly where intuition and inspiration flourish working together. Chance provides an avenue for photographs to find the photographer where one learns to stop looking and observe without judging. In this photograph during a graduation ceremony I had quickly positioned myself without adjusting camera settings and was by pure chance that the other photographers flash fired at the precise moment I took the picture.
