» Obama Speaks at HU 2010

On Sunday May 9th, Hampton University's 2010 commencement exercises got off to a memorable start. President Barack Obama delivered the Mother's Day commencement address at HU in front of 1,072 graduates and a crowd of about 12,000 relatives and friends. The speech was also broadcast live on several TV networks nationwide. I had the honor of being one of the photographers present to capture images of this presidential moment. Special thanks to Yuri and the University Relations staff at Hampton for all the hard work done to make this special occasion a success.

Great pictures as always. Even more special in that I didn't go to graduation because standing is difficult for me so I certainly appreciate these wonderful pictures.

Well my friend . . . your destiny is framed again. How soon are you beginning your book . . . ? Stories behind the images remind us each of the journey we travel with the images in our mind. You tell great stories with your images Benson. We need to continue to see them and hear their story . . . YOUR STORY.

Benson Fan,
