#16 Digital Photo Fun

Recently I attended a graduation for a small class of registered nurses. There were twenty graduates, sixty invited guests and two-thousand digital cameras. If sasquatch had shambled through the auditorium we’d have had definitive photographic evidence of his existence….along with his hair color (brown), eye color (brown), and shoe-size (fifty-one triple-wide).

Each time a graduate crossed the stage, a handful of audience members popped up like meerkats emerging from their burrows — except (outside of Disney cartoons) meerkats generally don’t engage in flash photography. When the next graduate walked, an entirely different set of people popped up. The whole thing felt like a runway session at a Milan fashion show .

“Angie is wearing a black gown with a mortarboard. Perfect attire for the new graduate! Steve has chosen to accent his outfit with honor cords! Here comes Harry with a daring, backless number and the words ‘Hi Mom’ emblazoned in masking tape on his hat!”
