Thanks, Lighting Guy

I always eagerly await media day, when soon after we get to see the player mugshots.  It seems silly to care, but we end up staring that those photos for a calendar year at various websites and on TV, so it’s fun to find out what our guys will look like.  You never know when you’ll find a winner like this:  

It seems that Seattle’s pictures are out.  We don’t know which ones they’ll pick for the official mugshots, but I’d like to post some of these gems before they’re deleted and lost forever.

From the short bus department:

There are plenty more, and I’m sure more to come.  Cliff Lee kind of looks like a serial killing janitor from Great Britain.

    Oh my GOD that’s awful lighting. There’s only a handful of pictures through that whole set that could be considered acceptable. Poor placement, and there’s a number of pictures in there where the lights either didn’t fire or the timing was off. Wow…

      Hopefully it was the trial run! These four either look like special eds or Na’Vi!

    WHY WOULD YOU LIGHT ANYONE FROM THE BOTTOM?!?? Ugh. This reminds me of the Tigers shots from early last year. Do not want.

    And then they snap the better lit shots but do it right after the players got dome running burmas for an hour followed by 40 minutes in the sauna…

    Felix Hernandez looks 100% like my buddy who played baseball at the UW. Scary.

    And Ichiro’s picture made me DIE laughing. So glad you posted these… Actually, so glad I stumbled upon them 2 weeks after posting.
