Taken on the campus of the University of Illinois at Springfield, UIS, my alma mater.
I had taken advantage of the long holiday weekend, and a special price for renting a lens that I've had my eye on to add to my collection. It's the Pentax 14mm f/2.8 DA ED (IF), which is a nice wide prime (single focal length - no zooming). I used it for some of the Thanksgiving family gathering photos, and wanted to go out to see what it was like for landscapes.
Son Chris called about the time that my brain was busy trying to figure out the best place to go, and asked to come with, as he has an interest in this lens as well. He has only prime lenses in his collection. They're the top of the crop of lenses for our Pentax cameras, and I've enjoyed being able to borrow them myself.
So, after some batting back and forth of places to go, we settled on the campus at UIS, as we've never used it before for a photo-walk. There's some nice architecture and sculpture there, as well as the open prairie, in the form of corn or soybean fields, which surround the campus.
The late afternoon light, sliding into the golden hour around sunset made for a perfect place to try out the lens. Chris and I passed my camera back to each other as we would see something that caught our attention. It was a delightful time for father and son. The conversation was sprinkled with photography tips, likes and dislikes, each telling the other what they were doing, or helping one another out with some aspect that the other was unfamiliar with.
I guess the closest some folks around here would come to that same kind of male bonding between father and son are the countless deer hunters at this time of year. I've heard many a tale of similar father and son outings where the delight in the company of each other was a special time.
We just gather light, and let the hunters cull the overpopulated deer. I would like, someday, to spend a weekend hunting the forest animals like deer, but with my camera.
The corn here was yet to be harvested, an unusual sight this late in the year. The rain has been over the top in soaking the fields, and we saw many standing puddles of water in the corn fields, and felt mushy earth under the lawn sod, although it has not rained for at least two days. You can see the puddles in the lower left of the frame here.
I've been wanting to get a sunset with cornstalks in the foreground for a while, and count myself fortunate that I finally got one today.
I am very fortunate to enjoy the company and companionship of my son. That, is a priceless gift that I treasure deeply.

Ed Wojcicki, Associate Chancellor for Constituent Relations and Chief of Staff at UIS, submitted this photo he took on campus. Notice his deliberate focus on light and shadow. What do you feel this represents?
Ed is teaching a writing course (Effective Public Affairs Writing - 11810 - PAD 575 - A) in the graduate public administration program again this semester. Read more on his blog.
Yeah, I know, the Ed Hardy stuff is everywhere (obviously, since it's at the Dillard's in Paducah). But that doesn't make these crazy pink skull-adorned galoshes any less ludicrous.
