This is a picture of a graduation by Robert Frank. I like the photo but I don't really like what the picture portrays. It seems to me that the man on the bench is bored and unhappy. Graduation is like one of the most important times in a person's life and I just wish this photo showed more happiness and success. But then again maybe this guy didn't graduate himself or something so he's depressed. Or maybe he's just simply waiting. Who knows but even the faces of the graduates aren't happy and excited so I think theres more to this picture then what is shown.
