Cap and Gown 2010

Fox Creek, Alberta

I was honoured to have been contracted to shoot these memories - for the students, for their parents, for their families.

After shooting the traditional formal grad pictures, I couldn't help but feel that we'd forgotten how old they were. Seventeen-year-old high school students should be allowed to act their age. The dancing, spinning, hair tossing, and generally hamming it up was refreshing to shoot.
