my mom was being a mom. knowing i was about to graduate, she requested pictures of me in the sfu regalia. when i told her that i was going to skip the graduation ceremony, because of terrible timing (it was in october 2010), she was almost offended. i didn't want to let her down and told her i was going to rent the regalia, go to a professional studio and get a private photo shoot session. then i discovered a price: $125 for renting the regalia and being able choose 7 pictures. "fuck it," i said "no pictures then. not worth it" so i went off to yukon (you can read about this adventure in the previous post), forgetting about the whole thing.
when i came back, my mom asked about the regalia photos again. i sighed and told her i'd find a way to get them. i remembered i had awesome friends (adam nowek and newby douglas, by the way!) who were interested in photography whom i asked to perform a graduating photo shoot for me on campus. they did it for a cup of coffee, literally, and they did it with great artistic pleasure.
the sun was shining, the suit i borrowed from fraser was way too big, but i had immense amounts of fun to be a model the first time in my life. adam even brought a polish scarf and flag! being sincerely thankful to both of these people, i present some outcome of their work below:
