It was one of those sticky, hot, sauna-like days in the good 'ole cornfields of Champaign-Urbana. It's not often that I get to take the two-hour hike down to my second home, so when Yejun emailed me about this shoot, I jumped at the opportunity. Little did I know, just standing and waiting in the bushes left me literally drenched with sweat. I normally don't like sweating, but being able to capture Carol's reaction after waiting many years for this moment was absolutely worth it. From shock, to tears, to constant smiles for the rest of the day, she was probably the happiest girl on campus. Good job, Yej!
