Last night I attended a concert at a small venue in Seattle called the Vera Project. It is a small, non-profit club that hosts music acts and holds various art classes. The venue is small and intimate, holding less than 400 people.

When the lights came down for the headliner, a band named Why?, there were dozens cameras going off. Standing behind a photographer, I noticed that the digital camera flash isn’t as intense as a traditional one, but still allowed for good pictures. I’m sure that the performers appreciate the new technology: I can’t imagine being on stage with old-fashioned flash bulbs going off constantly just a few feet from your faces.
