Yesterday was my brother's high school graduation. He was one of 1,000 seniors graduating from Lane Tech. I can't believe he's going to college already!

I shot photos at the ceremony with my telephoto, and I'm pretty pleased at how my photos turned out. I had to shoot at ISO 1600 (well, not for this photo, since it was outside), so the photos are hopelessly noisy, but I managed to get some blur-free photos handheld.

PS: I'm super psyched: just pre-ordered the 50mm f/1.8G AF-S from Adorama. I have no clue when it will ship - hopefully soon :)

Graduate ceremony Friday, May 3, 2019.

This event brought together doctoral students from Massachusetts Institute of Technology and UChicago to present their ongoing research in macroeconomics, finance, growth and development, and corporate finance. The aim was to allow students to present their work to a less familiar audience, to get a wider range of feedback, and to interact and build relationships with potential future colleagues. Each paper presented was discussed by a student from the other university. Participants presented to an audience of fellow students.

According to a 2011 report by the Economic Policy Institute, young college graduates still lag behind older college-educated workers in the labor market: 9.3% of them are unemployed, more than double the 4.7% unemployment rate for college graduates age 25 and older.
