My graduation, back in the Princess Diana days, was NOTHING like the proms of today.
Man oh man. The dresses....the hair, the shoes, the makeup, the tuxes, the vehicles....it's like a rainbow of colors and textures.
And in this small town, it's cause for traffic jams.
Almost all the graduates congregate at the local swan pond for photo ops. Then they drive over to the highschool for the grand march. Every kind of vehicle, including horse and buggy, firetrucks, tractors and vintage cars, are seen driving down Main Street.
Our town only has one highschool so it is truly an event.
Hannah doesn't graduate for two years but this year, she went as a date. So I went to take pictures.
And pictures did I take.
It will probably take me a few months to get through them!
But here is one that jumped out at me.
Colton was one of my son's hockey coaches a few years ago. He loves to hunt and he works for a landscaping company thus, his hunting vest and his steel toed boots. I love it when a person's personality comes out in what they wear.
I'm off to rest my feet and my neck. My camera weighs a tonne!
And then I'm off to shoot another Prom tomorrow:)
That's awesome! Canadian gothic.....
