Standing Tall
On May 5, this gentleman graduated from Tennessee Technological University. As he's from Saudi Arabia, his family couldn't necessarily pack everything up in the minivan and attend graduation. Therefore, he hired me to follow him around that day and record his preparation, the ceremony, and the comradery with friends after the event. Later that day we took some formal shots in one of my favorite school-related locations, the Quad. Anyone who went to TTU (or is from Cookeville, for that matter) will instantly recognize Derryberry Hall and the grounds preceding it.
Unknown to the graduate at the time, I filmed a small video clip during the commencement. I couldn't have picked a better 30 seconds to try it...see it here (read the full video caption before viewing).

Strobes triggered via Cybersyncs; powered via Vagabond II and Innovatronix Explorer XT.
