I wish I could have gone. It looks like a lot of fun.

Makes me want to actually buy a real Macro lens for my Canon.
Glad you had a press badge to take pictures for the rest of us.
Nice photography.

*edit: NVM you didnt use a macro lens, nevertheless very nice.

Questions here - "Camera Patrol" - guess they go around making sure you're not taking pictures if you don't have a press pass?

How does one get a press pass, generally speaking?

I think that to qualify for "Camera Patrol" that someone needs only a pulse and be awake (or at least look as though he/she is awake). I was often in a position where my Press Pass was not visible, and was never asked by one of these people to present it. Sigh...

Getting a Press Pass requires providing credentials, which is a pain in the butt.

Credentials - such as?

What if I had a business card stating I'm a photographer?

[lunde]

A business card is not enough. You need tear sheets and references.

I think those things can come out of my printer if I hold my photoshop just right.

God help me if I ever got in there with my credit card.

Next year's should be back in Vegas. All the guys I know that usually go passed on this one. Didn't feel like paying for the trip to Florida.

I'm probably going to SHOT 2008.

I should have gone.

I've gone to SHOT the last 2 yrs in Vegas, turned it into a nice 3 day weekend.

Florida is just too far away w/5+hr flight each way.

Plus, w/Vegas I can really tank up on good food.
