    Awesome:)

    Love the entire set, but 1 and 3 are my favorites.
    #3 is making me rethink "chopped off body parts". I always thought they were a no no, yet this one works beautifully.

    smugmug was having probs last night.
    I went back to your post a couple of times, and once there was only one shot--then it would be gone and then only two shots etc. They are all there now:) Glad to see them too.

    Thanks, Liz. My rule of thumb for chopped off body parts is intentionally is fine, if they work with the image; accidental is no good. With this one I felt that all that really mattered was the mother's smile. And I was working with a fixed lens, and wanted to concentrate on the child and that dangling arm.

    Great set. 1&4 are my favorites (but I'm prejudiced to irony? and closeups).

    I really like #1. Something about the juxtaposition of an older gentleman sitting on the stairs using an iPad.

    Like the set. I always enjoy viewing your shots with an eye toward your shooting angle and composition. Well done!

    Were these shot (when looking at the stage) in the back left corner of the roped off section?

    My brother graduated from Harvard a few years ago and that's where we sat.
