Scenes from Commencement

I was live blogging during commencement for AnnArbor.com, so I didn't get to do much else. But I did snap a few shots early on — some of which document the immense amount of cell phone activity inside Michigan Stadium (to the point where my iPhone was rendered useless). One of the highlights of the day was University of Michigan student speaker Alex Marston, who had everyone including the president laughing during a well-delivered, 4-minute speech.

President Barack Obama

President Barack Obama addressed a crowd of more than 80,000 at the University of Michigan commencement ceremony today in Ann Arbor. It was the largest crowd for Obama since his inauguration in Washington, D.C.
