May marked another end of a school year, which meant lots and lots of graduations. Jarvis College's commencement was especially memorable, as Jamie Foxx showed up to receive an honorary degree. The born-and-raised Texan sat through the whole graduation, save for a bathroom break right before he received his degree and the choir sang some gospel tunes as a little intermission before he came back. It was fun to document the students' surprise and seeing a celebrity stay true to their roots.

High school sports wrapped up too -- I was able to make some portraits of local high schoolers competing in state, and got a few more baseball games under my belt. Speaking of high school, there was another call to action at the Tyler ISD board meeting surrounding a name change for Robert E. Lee High School, and for the first time, the majority of public comment came from the students themselves.

At any rate, I hope you enjoy my month in photos. I'm looking forward to a summer full of good light and fun moments!
