Walked into my soccer class at the gym yesterday and the teacher had pulled up a black board and wrote quite simply on it a time frame and “summer.” He then told us to go and take a picture on that theme and be back during that time (about 30 minutes later) to show him the picture and have him grade us. My final. For soccer class. Awesome.

The shell of a cicada. He particularly liked this as the Japanese have a big thing about cicadas and other specifically summer stuff. Though I personally liked my friend’s idea more – he took a picture of an air conditioner.
