Before you take off for the holidays, here is a little some
thing from some of the DN photographers that we hope will
bring a smile to your face.
Sometimes in-between the action that photojoumalists
shoot daily, a little serendipity occurs in front of their lenses.
Capturing moments such as these lighten up their darkroom.
While waiting through a junior-varsity basketball game to
shoot the varsity teams, Lane Hickenbottom noticed this
pouncing panther painted on the wall of the Standish, Mich.,
gym. Hickenbottom found a high angle and waited for just the
right moment in the close game when die coach’s reaction made
him look likeHhe next feature in Pox TV’s “When Animals
Attack.”
During a visit to Chicago, Nate Wagner captured the juxta
position he saw between a man leisurely walking down
: ~ Michigan Avenue and a well-dressed cow doing the same.
Wagner relied on his quick wit and fast reflexes to make the
shot of the ceramic bovine from the back seat of a moving car.
And last, it is hard to ignore the antics of Lil’ Red, even
when MTV’s Tom Green isn’t inside the inflatable suit. Lil’ Red
* is known for his acrobatic talents, and this night was no differ
- ent. Photojoumalist Mike Warren made this photo when Red
was doing one of his infamous side shows at a Husker volley
ball game.
None of these photos have ever been published, and we at
the Daily Nebraskan thought that you might like them after you
drink enough egg-nog.
Happy Holidays.
