High School Graduation is a rite of passage here in the United States.
It is high school graduation party season. Since the end of June, I have seen many parties and yesterday was my turn to enjoy a family graduation party. My cousin’s son whom I have never really gotten to know was celebrating his accomplishments of his life to this point. The party featured what I call the Brag Wall. This is the place the proud parents display their prodigy’s photos, awards, and accomplishments. I always enjoy browsing and, in this case, photographing these displays. To get to known a little bit about the person before their next step into adulthood. Good luck, cousin!
The collage and graphics were done at Picnik.com.

Congratulations to the young Graduate.
A brag wall! That’s a good idea. I’d browse through it, too.
The red and white mosaic is fine. Something in it makes me curious: What is the little white thing close to the ball in the lower right corner?
Your post makes him a little more known Scott.
If you tag his name, he can google himself and find this post…

Don’t worry, the graduate will be informed of this post along with all the other photos I took.
That “white thing” is an outline of an American football helmet to show his love of sports. He played in football and wrestling as well as raced a dirt bike.

Very cool idea! I’ll have to keep it in mind for when it will be my turn to throw this sort of party in 3 short years! (Can hardly believe that! Where’d my little girls go?)
I have a question too: how do you make these mosiac style shots? Is this something you do with WordPress or in some other program. I also noticed the very nice “summer” one over there on your Flickr pics.

Tell me about it…both my girls are out of college now and pursuing careers.
I just added the information of where I created the collage for this post. There are a few other online places you can do this with. Like Picnik.com, BigHugeLabs can connect up with your flickr photostream to create them.

Thanks, Tracy! I think collages can be very interesting if done correctly. Birgitte is my collage/mosaic inspiration. She has a real talent for putting them together.
