Day 135 – Samford University
Correction: My post yesterday said that my uncle is getting his PhD from the University of Alabama. This is wrong. He is getting it from Samford University. The campus at Samford is beautiful! I had a little time to walk around and take some photos. More will follow tomorrow if I have some time after…

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.

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…

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…
