Back home from a class reunion
My high school — the International School of Bangkok Thailand — where I graduated in 1968, has an all classes reunion every other year in different cities all across the USA. This year it was in Scottsdale Arizona, a suburb of Phoenix. I was asked to do photography work at the reunion, including organizing and shooting this group shot in the grounds of the hotel we stayed at. I also did all of the class photos for indiviual classes and class groups, and over 150 candid shots that were posted on the ISB Network’s Facebook page. It was fun an d rewarding work, aknd it is good to be back home!
I am pleased with how this group shot turned out. I used my Sony A7R3 camera with my Tamron 28-75mm f2.8 lens.
