per Megan:
Douglas is often losing himself in his photography. The sophomore receiver has become the team’s resident cameraman, known for toting around his equipment — or wielding his iPhone — whenever he’s not playing football to preserve snapshots of his life.
“It’s like it’s a break from everything,” Douglas said. “It’s something I can just go do and take my mind off things. And I don’t have to worry about what people think of my photos because they’re for me.”
Spotting Douglas in his photographer life, it’s hard to envision him all geared up on the football field. His style is more hipster, complete with thick-framed glasses. Even his Instagram has only trace evidence of his other life as one of the Gophers’ rising receivers and top punt returners.
What his social media does have a lot of: aesthetic. All of his posts have the same white border — much like the Polaroids he took on that Aug. 22 morning at the fair — some scribbled with little doodles or words. His captions are all lowercase, just a short phrase and a date.
Douglas made that choice partly to be unique, partly just because he liked the look. His teammates say he’s achieved both.
“I love his Instagram. Like, it’s completely original,” quarterback Tanner Morgan said. “His stuff, it’s like, sometimes I don’t understand it, but it’s cool. You know what I mean?”
