THIS IS A SHOT I took on Friday of a flower worn by a classified manager. I do a fair amount of photography, and there's one thing I noticed long ago: if you take enough pics of an event and examine them closely, you start to notice odd and interesting things.
It's especially true for video. If you slow that stuff down — you've gotta do that when you edit — boy, you start to see little things about people that they naturally assumed nobody would ever notice.
WELL, ON FRIDAY, I took about 200 pics of the two district commencements. I looked at them pretty closely. That's when I noticed something.
—Well, maybe. I'll leave that for you to judge.
They're looking right at me, right? I must've pissed 'em off somehow.Here's a further pic, which is interesting in perhaps a different way:
Check out the young man way over to the left. Creepy, right? This shot reminds me of the famous scene in Hitchcock's Strangers on a Train in which the head of each person in a crowd of tennis spectators moves back and forth with the ball—all heads except for Robert Walker's, of course. OK, here's my favorite "find." When Chancellor Mathur spoke during Saddleback's Commencement, I took a quick photograph of the scoreboard. I didn't notice anything unusual at the time. But look! What does it say?
It's so easy to miss stuff, if you're not paying attention!
