Pictage User Group - Salt Lake City

I am the speaker at the Pictage User Group on March 30!
The program will be unique and a lot of fun. I have extensive experience with improv comedy and have noticed some very strong ties between the creativity required to do improv and the creativity of photography. We will entertain, inform and inspire, don't miss it!
It is sponsored by Pictage but everyone is invited.

Christian Burridge for County Council - 2010 Salt Lake County Democratic Convention

A good friend of mine, Christian Burridge, ran for county council. He is a good man. (I was going to add, "despite being a democrat" but I'll just leave it at good man.) I went and covered the convention. He didn't make it through the convention but I'm sure he will rise again like the phoenix he is.
Photographically, this was fun. No pressure for certain shots an I got to really see what my 7D could do. All of the inside images were shot at least 3200 ISO--some at 6400! I LOVE the high-iso on this camera. It still has noise at the higher settings but the noise looks good. 1600 iso on my 40D looked awful. It felt digital and forced. 6400 on my 7D feels more like film grain. it doesn't affect the overall quality and usability of the images. It's great.
Aside from that, florescent lighting is always awful but with a custom white-balance and not adding flash (mixed light is worse than bad light) they look good.
