) J horographers are a strange bunch. They are a mysterious hybrid of artists and journal- ists. They are at once technical and creative. They can work slowly with attention to A each and every detail or they can catch a unique moment in time and preserve it forever. Our photo staff definitely was not an exception. We certainly had the complete spec- p trum of photographer types, from the precise landscape photographer to the random antics of the innovative photographer to the images created on a whim by the more spontaneous shooter. The Gallery displays some of our favorite work from over the years and really illustrates the variety of photography we were so lucky to see this year. It is our chance to take a step back from the traditional yearbook style and show off a little of our own. And if one thing is certain, photo staffs have always been and always will be the same people. I was flipping through some old copies of the Bluestone nd couldn ' t help but notice a striking resemblance between the Bluestone .ohQM.staff from 1 950 and this year ' s photo staff Pretty scary, huh? -MP Melissa Palladino Statia Molewski Editors i: -.- -7 Gallery
