My sister Sandra has spent the last couple years of her life toiling away at a Masters in Public Health at that school-down-the-road in Chapel Hill, NC.  This last October, the rest of the family invited ourselves down to attend her thesis defense (with a side trip to the NC State Fair for giant turkey legs and demolition derby).  Evidently, among Sandra’s peers there’s a tradition where photographs of jumping grad students are taken after successful thesis defenses.  As you can plainly see, Sandra’s defense was also successful.  This is where a 6.3 fps burst mode comes in handy.

Not to be outdone, the family got in on the act, too:

Congratulations, Sandra.  We’re all terribly proud of you.
