Sean Nelson and I made this long exposure shot last summer right before I left for college. It was an invasion of red spiders from the water (that looked more like red crabs). If you like this shot, check out more from our Illum Flickr account.

Day 130 – Mother’s Day
Happy Mother’s Day, Mom!
I am sorry that I am not always as loving as you deserve. I can get caught up in everything I do and forget to call or neglect to spend time with you when I am home. I am sorry that I am frequently difficult to be around. You do much more than words can explain for Dad and me, who sometimes forget to stop and thank you for everything.
I want you to know that I love you more than you know, even if I do not express it (which, by the way, I promise to work on). Happy Mother’s Day, Mom. I love you.
This photo was taken on Christmas Day at my grandma’s house. I have very few photos of my family, whether all together or separate. That is also something I need to work on. I take photos of so many other things, but rarely take the time to document the most important part of my life: my family.

Day 128 – South Haven: Take Two
Today Richard, David, and I went to South Haven, a beautiful little town on Lake Michigan. (It is the same place I went to back in January.) Above are photos I took while we were there. Click on the photos to view them at a larger size.

Day 127 – Friends
William, Zach, Adam, and Trevor (L to R) were suitemates this year in Simpson, but Adam is switching dorms next semester, so they wanted a photo taken. They are all wonderful guys and I am very thankful to have met them this year.

Day 126 – Strobist Lessons
Will Clayton gave me lessons today on how to use off-camera flash. His brother John was in town visiting him, so I used him as a model. There are still some harsh shadows around his neck from the shirt, but overall I think this photo came out okay. (There is also a distracting sign in front of the tree above his shoulder.)
