8FPS: Oroville Graduation Is A Little Deju'

     Same event, same place, same time, just the next day. Most graduations have some variety to them. A new location at least. But Oroville schools decided to have their graduations be almost exactly the same, just on two different days. Las Plumas High graduated on a Thursday, Oroville High on Friday. I had to rethink my entire plan. The previous day I had shot over 600 photos to were edited to about 130 for an online gallery. The very next day I had to take a totally new set of images with roughly the same amount for an online gallery. It wasn't easy. My only saving grace was really with the balloon display Oroville High school had. Here are the best shots of the night.
