Graceland University Residence Life Staff, Lamoni, Iowa. October 15, 2007.<\/p><\/div>\n

This is the only photo in my “favorite photos” folder for October 15. There are over 3400 images in my favorite photos folder. That averages out to about 9 photos per date, scattered across all of the dates of the year. But in real life it doesn’t work out that way. For one relatively recent date (September 29) I have over 50 favorite photos and for some dates I have no favorite photos at all.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In 2007 I was asked to do a group portrait of the residence life staff at Graceland University. The weather was nice outside so I picked a favorite tree for the portrait location. One member of the residence life staff was not available for this group portrait. I photographed him later at the same location and digitally added him to the photo, but that didn’t happen October 15.<\/p>\n

As I mentioned in a prior post<\/a>, I have lots of sentimental connections to Graceland. Both my parents went to Graceland, as did my brother, and one of our children. I taught a winter term photography class at Graceland in 2012. When I took this photo, our son Jared (third from the left) was the Hall Director at Gunsolley Hall, a large dorm for men.<\/p>\n

In addition to our son, there are some very special people in this photo that I have known for years. You know who you are!<\/p>\n
