Being a photographer for college Grad pictures is not what he had in mind when he dreamed big long ago. That was after high school, he didn’t want to go to college. He wanted to enjoy life. “I can travel the world and learn just as much as if I was in a classroom,” Johnny had once said.

A skinny redhead who looked like he spent a little bit too much time on his hair came in the room and waved a hello to Johnny. He returned the wave with a “Have a seat,” in his fake friendly voice. The guy sat down on the metal stool in front of the fake bookcase backdrop wearing the fake graduation gown.

“Say Graduation!”

“Thank you. Next!”

Johnny wanted to get out of there, thank God it was almost five. He could go home, crack open a beer and watch TV.
