Sometimes...

As an artist/photographer, I am always on the look for the light and composition for the image that will tell the story of what happened. Sometimes you have to look high/low/upside-down/inside-out to find the perfect image. Sometimes the image is handed to you on a silver platter. This is one of the last images I captured the night/morning of RHS 2006 Graduation/Grad Night. Most of the tired seniors had left for home for a bit of much deserved rest, while a few walked to the edge of the reservoir just as the sun began his daily arrival. With the crescent moon high in the sky, Mars just visible as a pinpoint of light, and the sun poised to break the horizon, the symbolism of new graduates looking toward a bright, yet still to be seen, future was presented to me on just such a platter. A quiet and humble 'Thanks' at being allowed to witness yet another event as I too, wrapped the night. Congratulations from Wiggins Photography to every member of each Class of 2006, with a special thought to the Ridgeland High School 2006 Gratuates.
