Shane McMillan: Bus stop cat-lady

Copyright Shane McMillan 2007

My friend April and I went on a little photo expedition the other day. Toward the end we ran into this woman named Carol at the bus station. She really liked cats. She was pretty sore from a car accident and was having a pretty bad day, but she let me take her picture while she sat on the bench. The interesting part came when her bus arrived, she got up and headed off and I snapped this frame. I really liked something about her stance and the rain on the sidewalk and light, it was just interesting. So here it is...

Shane McMillan: Walking with elephants

Copyright Shane McMillan 2007

I shot this in the back of The Badlander a few weeks ago for a story about local artist Noah Ptolemy. I really loved it, but it wasn't really a newsworthy photo, so it hit the cutting room floor. I have been working a lot more in black and white and this was really one of my favorite images. There is something in the movement of the man walking past the elephants that makes it really interesting. It's not wild, but it's one of my favorites as of late.

Shane McMillan: Defeated Great Danes

Copyright Shane McMillan 2007

This shot is from a few weeks ago. It was at the end of the Griz game against Albany State in Washington-Grizzly Stadium. After the game I was walking around and was sort of thinking of going home when I saw the Great Danes slogging back the ramp in the corner of the stadium. I underexposed a bit to get the sky right and kicked up the contrast to capture the mood of the moment. They were pretty bummed and I think the photo really captures that. It may not be the most original picture, but it's nice.

These photos are from the Griz game day last Saturday (October 6, 2007). I actually went to the game just to watch, but I couldn't just leave my camera at home!! So I snapped a few shots of the crowd. Enjoy!!

Hugh Carey: Deer on the Oval

Copyright Hugh Carey 2007

The chances of finding deer while walking on campus at night are very high; especially on the Oval where the deer prefer the open space. I waited out long enough for the deer to get in front of a light source so I can make a silhouette out of it. I’ll keep working on the deer photos at night throughout my college career and hopefully get a spectacular one some day.
