GRADUATION DAY 2009
THE PHOTOS
In VOL II of CADET we ran a photo essay on graduation. Those photos are now a decade old. When I photographed them in 2009, there was no instagram. Twitter was text only and sharing too many photos on Facebook was highly, highly suspicious. The social sharing landscape was minimal and ineffective. But today we have the tools to present and venues to share. So, enjoy!
