Graduation Day

My colleague, Jodie, graduated today with a BS honours degree from Greenwich University and asked if I would tag along to photograph her big day..

Was more than happy to do so and took close to 200 shots... Got back to the office about 3pm and uploaded them.. Am really pleased with quite a few, more so that my work mates were surprised and also impressed...!

I wanted to take quite a lot of candid (journo style) shots but my colleague seems to have an in-built camera detector and as soon as I raised my camera, she'd be smiling like a Cheshire cat..

Well pleased for her...

BTW... Jodie's the not-so-dumb blond http://365project.org/andycoleborn/oldies-and-othe/2011-07-22
