Pomp and Circumstance

I was hired by Oregon State University to help cover several events tied to this year's Commencement, held on Sunday. I snapped a few shots of a breakfast gathering honoring WWII vets, then sprinted upstairs to shoot pictures of the University President, Commencement Speaker and top honorees as they prepared for the big ceremony. It was really a unique and honoring experience to see what goes on behind the huge event with thousands of parents and graduates. This was me just a few years ago, jeez time is flying.

In the evening I covered the Commencement banquet for top university officials. The food? Amazing.
