Professor Jeffrey K. MacKie-Mason checking email between graduate ceremonies at the University of Michigan.
Professor Jeffrey K. MacKie-Mason checking his email outside the Mendelssohn Theater before the University of Michigan School of Information’s graduate recognition ceremony on Friday, May 1, 2009. Professor MacKie-Mason is wearing his Ph. D. robes from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) and has good taste in laptops.

I hope he didn’t get dressed up to check his email. I like that his robes match the notebook so well.

I enjoy the irony of medieval scholar’s robes with the wireless laptop. Nice lighting, Scott.

Awesome composition of light and color. Dating back to Mid 19th century, this could be a paint.

Thanks, Anran! It does have the feel of a painting. The window light was mostly blownout so I had to do work with getting that under control.
I see you are from UofM (nice photos by the way), where did you hear about this post?
