On Wednesday May 18, Hal Foster
and Jerome Silbergeld
from Art and Archaeology came to visit int he morning and then I spoke with
Jean Michel Rabate who is being recruited by Comparative Literatures
before calling it a day.
Thursday May 19 began at the bus stop where John Shea and I
decide to act like we were band performers much to the amusement of
Emily and Ben
before the bus came and I departed to catch up with Brad Barber, my former student,
for a PJ's breakfast. I met with Doug Arnold
that morning and hosted lunch for
Jerome Silbergeld (Art and Archaeology), Chris Sims (Economics), Anne Marie Slaughter (Woodrow Wilson School and Politics), Toni Turano (Dean of Faculty), Tom Hare (Comparative Literature) and Satish Myneni (Geosciences)
On Friday May 20, it was prom night and before the prom, the after-prom and
the after-after-prom we decided to have a pre-prom gathering as we had done
for Sarah's prom in 2002
and Jane's Cotillion in 2004 . We began with
the table set
and then Jane modeled her dress
for Josephine
to photograph as Jane
then posed with
Pierce Tria
and then Andrew Black
and then Pierce and Andrew posed together while I captured the food
as it was being prepared
and eaten
while Sarah and Devon
reappeared and Suzanne
posed with Pierce while the McKeon-Williams family
arrived and Jane posed with Lucy
and then the 2 of them posed with the boys
while Carolyn
tried to get some pictures
as Michael
watched and the boys
posed with Jane until
Justin Huang, Tess Edmonds, and Lauren Engelbert arrived
with various parents in tow. The assembled
started to gather for photos
but all of the players should be known to you gentle viewer even as the parents
tried to take more photos and this is what they saw
as Benjamin
hid in the other room and Justin
took a phone call. As Dale Engelbert chatted with Devon and Sarah
there were more prom'ers assembling
for the photographers
to behold making it a banner day for Kodak since not all of the pictures
were digital.
Next,
Younjin Yi and Mike Cho arrived
followed by the
Szabo family as conversations
continued int he other room and Dan Sullivan
and his parents arrived. We took pictures of the
Szabo twins with Lucy and Jane
and an extra one in which they could be separated
and this picture of Lucy and Jane together
before
Caitlin Rhoades and her mom arrived. As Jane had her conversation
and Suzanne had hers
Sarah chatted with
Liz Marchetta (possibly about the prom 3 years ago?) and Jane and John
made their way
to the kitchen
and began the task
of exchanging flowers
which continues over the next many images

before the final result
which was a prelude to the group assembling
for some rooftop
pictures while conversation continued
and Andrew and Lucy posed
as did Tess and Justin
and this closeup
before we took sister pictures of the Marchettas
and Sarah and Jane
and then the boys gathered
and posed as
Justin Huang, Pierce Tria, Andrew Szabo, Mike Cho, Dan Sullivan, John Szabo, Alex Tank, Angus Pacala
and then as
Andrew Black, Justin Huang, Pierce Tria, Andrew Szabo, Mike Cho, Dan Sullivan, John Szabo, Alex Tank, Angus Pacala
which made the girls feel that they should pose as
Tess Edmonds, Jane Dobkin, Youngmin Yi, Lucy McKeon (can't see), Jen Lerner,
Lauren Santiago, Caitlin Rhoades (can't see), Younjin Yi, Liz Gale-Bentz,
Lauren Engelbert, Catherine Marchetta, Christina Jones, Raisa Ahmed,
Elena Fabiano
as the conversations continued
and the food stood
as blurry images
and flowers
led to this picture of the 2 girls
in the class of 2002
and this corsage
and Mr. Jones
before we captured Jane and Lucy's feet
and these gag photos (at least, I hope they're gags)

and even more
feet before Jane and Andrew
posed for a few as Catherine Marchetta
came around the bend
for a better picture and Jane
noted the sushi
as she and John chatted
and then she started to get ready
when Alex Tank
appeared causing Jane
to pose with Lucy and Michelle Soffen
before Alessandra Mikic and Michelle Soffen posed
and then Alessandra Mikic, Carolyn Williams and Michelle Soffen
posed for almost the last prom picture before Carolyn got ready
to pose with Jane
and Lucy
as I took this self portrait
and wished John and Jane
and David Szabo
a good prom as Suzanne did the same with Michael
and we were all glad that prom comes but once a year
but they weren't done because they headed off to the station
to find Harry Potter.
