this feels like the quintessential warm-up shot. frame it, meter it, snap it, evaluate. am i right? was it the first photograph you made?
hey, i'm thinking about getting into large format. would that be cool, or what? (i'm turning into a real nutcase with this photo stuff.)

It was the first photo i took, they always have a feel to them, i love it.
umm..so i went to california for two weeks, and i came home with 4 more cameras, not to mention all those cameras i wanted but couldn't fit into my stuff. one of them is a Kodak Signet 35, its from the 60s, its amazing! I named him Eastman, hes neat, i took a bunch of photos with him, but i haven't gotten to develop them yet.
Get an old TRL, they are the best for large format or an old Pentax, they make large format too. try using 35 mm in a large format, it will expose the brackets!

i have a doubt, graduation is before going to university? Oo

In Portugal we say we're graduated after university and we do some BIG PARTY, and burn our ribbons from school hihi

This is my high school graduation, I don't plan on graduating from college, I want to do under study programs and internships, not just structured class time

Gosh! Happy graduation. In fact, I graduate tomorrow as well. Actually, I guess that's today. I can't wait for this ceremony, it's going to be so much fun to sit and stand around for two hours... Woo hoo, pomp and circumstance!

Ours is going to be somewhat fun, we get to sing to the valedictorians speech, and I get to dance down the isle with some fun people, plus Its graduation!

Hmmmmm. Well, my friend and I managed to make it interesting. Would you believe that we were the only two in our entire senior class to go naked under our gowns. And I don't mean cop-out-wear-boxers naked, I mean naked naked. And the principal totally knew. As he shook each of our hands, he said "Nice work, gentlemen." And gave us that knowing nod. But I think one of the best moments was leaning over to the most quintessentially preppy girl next to me, and proclaim in a whisper my state of attire.
I got invited to all these exclusive parties too! It's kind of strange, suddenly being elevated to this sub-celebrity status. I think it's got to do with my musical ensemble's recent success. Or perhaps my sheer sex appeal. Yes yes, it was certainly a bizarre year.

That amazing! A few friends and I thought that that would be the best senior prank, ever member of the class to go naked under the gowns, it would have been outstanding! I'm glad that somebody thought of something fun like that. Someday I will hear your band, I bet its a musical dream.

Haha, we're just a click away, and I'm sure if you looked hard enough, you could find us. But I'd rather keep it a secret until our newest material is released.
Mmmmmm, I'm just listening to the Sleeping Beauty Ballet Suite op. 66, Pas d'action by Tchaikovsky, who I don't usually like, but I love this suite so much... And I'm looking out my window into the fog and the rain and the lovely drearyness and thinking... I think everyone wants what they can't have. I just wanted to tell you this, because I don't really know anyone detached enough from my life that I could tell. It's as if these days the world is presenting itself for me to indulge, and I suddenly am nauseated by the prospect. So whenever something comes along unattainable, I toss and turn at the mere idea. It's all romance anyway. But so bloody depressing...
