Wednesday, January 7th, 2015 // The Statement 8B The members of our photostaff are from all corners of the country, and over this year’s winter holiday, held roots all over the world. These are the photos they have brought back. VISUAL STATEMENT: PHOTOSTAFF ON HOLIDAY I spent a week of winter break looking out off of the mountainside at Lone Star Ranch outside of Stigler, Oklahoma. JAMES COLLER/Daily This was the photo we used for our Christmas card. Our mom and dad came down to fill the stock- ings and place the presents and of course eat the cookies and drink the milk as Santa. But they found their children already doing it instead! RITA MORRIS/Daily It is hard to beat fish from Seattle, and it flies on occasion. At Pike Place Market, fishmongers are known for tossing fish across the shopping aread while customers are ordering. PAUL SHERMAN/Daily While in Chicago, I decided to take a walk with my camera and see what I could find. I wandered into the Intercontinental Hotel with hopes of making it to the roof to witness the spectacular views of the Chicago River. Unfortunately the roof was locked, but luckily I found a window. ZACH MOORE/Daily Fellow travelers at The Lourve in Paris take a selfie with da Vinci’s Mona Lisa as a crown of over 100 people push to see the famous painting. ALLISON FARRAND/Daily My cousin Chloe, age nine, shows her appreciation of a gift she received at our family Christmas cel- ebration. AMANDA ALLEN/Daily
