Grandmother, Perhaps


	Grandmother, Perhaps --- At the Cheyney University Commencement, this woman, bouquet-in-hand, is waiting for one of the graduates to emerge from the ceremony. I did not speak with her, but I imagine she is a proud grandmother. ---- The ceremony was LONG, and she had been sitting here, outside the tent enclosure, for over two hours, during which rain fell several times. ----- Michelle Alton

Outstanding photo and narrative, Michelle
She has such an intent expression and bearing, and I love the flowers in her lap.

Lovely story telling B/W capture. I like how she has her purse securely around her arm.

The lady has some kind of patience and can endure. I know that this had to be such a proud moment for her and nothing was going to ruin it. Again, black and white is the best choice for your portraits, I just love the look. These candid shots are among my favorite. Work of a master my friend.

I'd bet that the graduate she was waiting for was the first in her family!

An outstanding capture of the woman's patience as she waits for a very special person to emerge from the ceremonies!!
