The photographers A portion of the Getty grant was used to commission Paul Whiting to capture images of the buildings on campus, focusing on some of the unique architectural detail in the historic buildings. Whiting has devoted a great deal of his time to photography for several historic preservation groups in the Midwest and here, in Billings, as well for architects and landscape architects. Much of his work is with black and white photography. His interest in historic sites and structures extends to vernacular architecture as well. He believes this “architecture of the people” contributes to a community's sense of place and identity, in contrast to cookie-cutter urban sprawl. Whiting, whom has a bachelor's degree in math and physics from St. Olaf College and a master's in French from Northwestern University, spent much of his career teaching high school French, helping communities establish their own cable casting facilities, and serving as communications director for several Lutheran bishops. This latter work led to a video project in Mexico, where he lived for a year and a half. There, he produced videotape in English and in Spanish in collaboration with a grass roots Mexico organization dedicated to improving the lives of urban and rural marginalized people. Whiting has exhibited at the School of Architecture at MSU- Bozeman, and in several galleries in and around Billings. Currently he is pursuing a relatively new method of printing archival carbon-ink photographs from scanned black and white film negatives. It's a process holding great promise for documentation of historic sites as well as family histories. Dave M. Shumway, from Batavia, Illinois, was drawn to Rocky Mountain College by its location -- close to the mountains, Yellowstone National Park, and pristine rivers. Shumway interned in the marketing and publications department at Rocky, where he provided valuable service with Web content, as well as photographing and videotaping campus events. Now, the summa cum laude graduate, who double majored in business management and economics, is the Web content manager and photographer for the College. Shumway also has five years of camera sales experience and developed the curriculum for digital photography classes for Best Buy. Shumway has two passions, one for the outdoors and one for photography. To this end he spends much of his time in the ecosystems in and around Yellowstone National Park, to the extent of at least one trip to the Park each month of the year. Working as the photographer for RMC, Shumway's assignments include all campus activities, from the academic to the athletic, both of which help keep his eye prepared for his next trip into nature. He is also adjunct landscape and nature photography instructor. He is the recent recipient of the Prestigious Garrison Art Show “Best in Show” award. Shumway has a unique image library of more than 10,000 images available for stock use or print. His work can be seen online at daveshumway.com. An extensive collection of his event and sports work is hosted at photos.rocky.edu. Historic photos: Sadly, the names of the photographers who captured early images of the College were not recorded. Fortunately, the images of buildings and of student life survive. They are archived online at www.rocky.edu. The Western Heritage Center staff helped create the archival files for a special exhibition when Rocky celebrated its 125th anniversary.
