Here are some photos I took at the Point Park Graduation for the class of 2009.

Also my friend Kris Radder (the graduate taking photos) can be found at http://radderphotos.blogspot.com/
I posted a photo I took of him last year when I was assisting in his Studio Photography class taught by Tom Bell who is also shown in this post (he has a flash on his camera)

My other photographer friend, Jack Megaw, who can be seen in the 5th and 6th photos can be found at http://jacksnaps.wordpress.com

Seeing so many friends graduate like this was a little rough, like, Adam Flanagan who can be seen in the second to last photo (and last photo) has been going to the same schools as I have since Elementary School, and except for a few misplaced years we've been only a year apart. At the end I put a photo of him I took in 2005 when I photographed him in Parade, he was an actor back then.

I also attached a Photo of Dave Prokopec who I took a photo of Painting back in High School (2004), and now he makes amazing Music Videos


Just to name a few of the people here.

Pearlann had an informal show for the end of the year. So here are a few of the photos I took:

One last class of Jason McDole's I shot and forgot to make a blog post before I left for NYC.

This was the last actual Dance class I shot at Point Park University for the 2008-2009 year.

Now that I'm back in Pittsburgh from New York City, there are some interesting things about who's in this class. Major was in this class whom I ran into in NYC because he was in one of the companies shot by Lois Greenfield this summer. I must say it is odd when you randomly run into people from back home in other cities, especially when you are helping out on shoots they are part of.

McKenzie was also in this class, Yi-Chun Wu and I shot her in NYC. More about that in a later post, where I will share some of those photos.
