graduation photos aren't really about graduation; they're about friendship.
graduation has some inherent value, some inherent worth in that it's a line that marks a level of achievement, but i think if this achievement was made alone there would be much less fanfare or photography.
C.S. Lewis has it right when he said, "Friendship ... is born at the moment when one man says to another "What! You too? I thought that no one but myself . . ."
these pictures are a visual expression of that "What! You too?" moment that we've all experienced.
