We had a chance to interview Ben a while back (go ahead and search the archives if you want to compare interviews). Ben has been a member of the Corner almost since the beginning, and we've had the chance to watch him grow from a bay to a man (14-22). Crazy stuff. He is a fantastic storm photographer, so I know you'll enjoy his photographs below (we've got 20 of 'em in this "Corner Member Close-Up."

Throughout the month of April, Premiere Members have been looking through the Corner Forums and Corner Galleries, looking for the best photographs posted around the site. Then, all of last week, the community voted on the top 10-15 photographs from the past month (14 this month). After a week of voting (and the voting ended up being really close - check out the results here!), shutterbug2007’s photograph titled “Storms…” won out with over 13% of the votes and was crowned the May 2009 Photograph of the Month.
