Commencement 2001

// CS Senior Chris Cera #include <iostream> using namespace std ; int main(void) { cout << "Hello, World!" << endl ; return 0 ; }

After numerous years of photography with my trusty Apple QuickTake 150 digital camera, I used our newly-acquired Sony DCR-VX2000 to record these images at Drexel's June 9, 2001 commencement ceremony. OK , it's actually a digital camcorder, but you can take digital stills with it also. Someday I may learn what all those buttons and dials are for. In the meantime, you can get pretty far by pointing and clicking. Of course, this is a bit like using a Mercedes to pound nails into a wall. See below! -- JL Popyack
