I was back over at USC Keck School of Medicine. For some, it was final exam day. For others, it was beginning exam day. For people like this person in the crimson outfit taking a selfie, it was graduation day. Like many others on campus, he had his cap and gown on, and it looks like he was taking a selfie with the big sign behind him as his background. So many students graduating were obviously very excited, but they moved around so fast that I was unable to get a good photo of them without coming off to them as some stalker.
Anyway, these graduates have a lot to look forward to, such as an internship involving long hours, plenty of first-hand experiences with real patients in real situations, and all the bureaucracy and politics that go with the medical profession. And let's not forget all the work they will have to do to pay off their enormous student loan.
Wish them well, as you may someday be their next patient.
Every June for the past ten years? or so I have trekked down to our local high school to watch and document the Grade 12 kids as they parade down the red carpet in their finery, with their proud families cheering them on. I used to enjoy it but actually hated being there last year, and decided to not attend this year. And I was actually asked by two parents of graduating kids to be there! But, I was so not interested, why? what is the matter with me? Still trying to figure this out.
Anyways this was taken four years ago on this day.

Senora Destin, a haitian born woman ,
crossed the border
from poverty to more poverty
probably 20-30 years ago.
She lives in this tin shack
with little or no electricity
no water
and shares the rent with rats,
roaches the size of middle fingers,
and other creatures......
Temperatures soar in her shack
She has no education.
Her family is somewhere in Port Au Principe or dead.
She does clean toilets
sometimes
at the local hotels
but these days there is no work.
With tears in her eyes she tells me she prays to god every day ..........................
YET all is not lost..............................
something she has always wished for,
something she is so unbelievably proud of.
her son Destin

Photography’s new conscience
Not my graduation.
DLSU-M 155th commencement exercise at the PICC.
Fortunately nobody was upstairs during this time so I was able to mount the camera on the tripod. And yes, I had a hard time framing this one since the tripod was like mounted in between chairs.
Congratulations to the graduates!
When you finish your university after 4 years of working hard, being awake in the long nights and studying all day all night. All students have to go through this type of the celebration when they do their final seminar.
It was taking in Birzeit university- Palestine
P.S: I was confused to upload it black and white or colored, but I chose B&W
See the first comment below for additional portraits of Sideshow's Graduation Day Buffy the Vampire Slayer figure.
This figure would benefit immensely from a better body and improved paint apps, but at twelve years old it's still far and away the greatest Buffy Summers figure available, and I am pleased to finally have one.
For the past several weeks I have been revisiting Buffy the Vampire Slayer for the first time in well over a decade, this time with my twelve-year-old daughter. It has been very rewarding.
2014.3 Osaka yodoyabashi, hakama style girls
Hakama is a divided skirt worn kimono.
They do a pose to show a pattern.
Women's hakama (with kosode [a kimono with short sleeves worn as underclothing by the upper class], chuburi [medium-sleeved furisode], or furisode [kimono with long, trailing sleeves]) is a standard item as a garment of miko (shrine maiden), clothes for kyudo (Japanese art of archery), a school uniform for women's colleges and high schools in recent times, a formal dress for graduations and coming-of-age ceremonies in present times.
"A graduation ceremony is an event where the commencement speaker tells thousands of students dressed in identical caps and gowns that 'individuality' is the key to success."
These photos were taken after the actual graduation, so everyone was a bit more relaxed!
Nearly time to give the fancy clothes back now, lol!
At last, JJ's three years in Cardiff were up, and he was pleased to find out he passed with a First-Class Honours degree in Graphic Communication (Graphic Design).
(To attain this high level of achievement a student must display constant excellence throughout their entire course. Although it is difficult to achieve, the future career rewards for those who do are significant. It goes without saying that it should be the goal of every undergraduate to achieve a First.
From Wikipedia.)
I was so happy when, a few months ago, Matt asked if JJ could get two extra tickets for graduation day, as he wanted to bring Sophie along too!

Matt has already worn a mortar board, when he graduated 4 years ago, but it didn't stop him seeing if the cap fits!!
