It was a familiar day. It was raining and we didn’t have a centerpiece for the paper. That means that I got to go around campus and shoot weather features, pictures of people getting rained on, or trying to stop themselves from getting rained on. Photojournalist Elliott Erwitt once said that bad weather makes for good pictures, and he was damn right. The only thing that stands between you and excellent pictures is your willingness to get soaked yourself, so put your camera in a trash bag, throw on your rain coat and head out to shoot.
I pretty much stole this from Britney, but I had a long lens and she was without.
I kind of liked this, but I think the people were too insignificant.
I would have waited for hours for someone to walk through the third floor on the first photo and the second or third level on the second photo, but I had a weather feature CP to shoot, so time was limited.
