The Graduate

terri · May 30, 2005

A couple of informal cap and gown shots from today. This kid really, really hates getting his picture taken!

He gave me about 12 minutes, then he was done. :mrgreen:

It was drizzling rain; these were shot on the front porch with the Pentax MZ-S using natural light. TMax 400, 85mm @ 1.4, piece of foam core for reflector.

Scanned from negatives.

Trying to look Serious For Mom:

And, showing his more natural self:

At the moment, I think it's "To be as useless as possible while still on OPM (other people's money)". :biglaugh:

I'm kidding.

He's a good guy. Right now he's working about 30 hours a week at a no-kill animal shelter :heart: and he has a couple applications for college pending. Two local universities; nothing too far from home.

Thanks, Raymond!

You're not being nosey, girl!

He's a ways from declaring a major, I think. He likes being around the animals and working with the vet techs at his job....enjoyed working in video production at school, was clever with the CAD program, blah blah blah....but he's still wide open.

Well, he gets his looks from his dad then!

What does SCHS stand for? Summit, summit, High School?

And, and will you now be seducing me Mrs Sprinkle? :eyebrows:

Remember, I'm young and need to be taught... :blushing:

Thanks for sharing.

Awww sweet shots! You must be so proud!!! These mildstones are something aren't they? I tell you my oldest just turned 30 last month and I suffered labor pains the entire day of his birthday! I kept thinking "I am NOT old enough to have a 30yo" lol Anyway Congratulations Terri and to your boy as well!

Thank you for the congrats, Photo Gal.

May I ask how old students usually are when they leave High School? (I would guess they are a little younger than here but I really don't know).
Congratulations, Terri, on a fine son like him. Give him time to decide on what he wants to do... sounds like he is really friendly with the animals, I like that! My son once thought he might want to become a vet himself. But his interest in chemistry is also huge and he is good at it. Well, but since he's a German student, he still has to go for more than three years before school will end for him and whichever university career may come up...

Thanks, LaFoto! I think you're right about giving him time....he is still coming to grips with the fact he doesn't have to go back to that school! :lol:
