  • Day 131 – Red Spiders Cometh


    ,

    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…

  • 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…

    The magnolia trees in Hillsdale are blooming! Most of the other trees are as well. It is a beautiful sight! I can see why students here look forward to spring. Today was my last day of classes for the spring semester. I only slept for two hours last night, but I finished my final paper…

  • Day 113 – Overexposure


    ,

    I took this shot for an art class last year in high school. I was dealing with ways of using overexposure and underexposure, and I liked the way the color faded in from the white. Click the photo to view it large.
