Today is my Mom’s birthday! Happy Birthday, Mom! (Most of you reading this are probably reading it on Thursday, Jan. 8. If so, my Mom’s birthday was yesterday, Jan. 7.) I have very few pictures of just Mom, so I posted this photo of my parents that I took in December 2007 while…

Day 6 – Long Exposures in Oberlin
