In the beginning...

Here's some unedited video I made the moment Sen. Obama was introduced at Invesco Field. It's shaky and a bit confusing to watch, but it shows the intensity of the moment fairly well. Shortly before Obama took the stage, volunteers began passing out big blue signs that read "Change we can believe in." I knew that was trouble. Delegates tend to stand and wave things in the air when their candidate is introduced. That's exactly what happened. The result: the moment Obama strode onto the stage, my view was one not of a presidential candidate, but of blue signs. I quickly tapped a Utah delegate on the shoulder and asked if I could stand in his chair. He said, yes (I think). So I climbed up, held the camera high over my head and zoomed in as much as possible. The result isn't pretty, but it's more real than the slickly choreographed photography from perfect angles that you saw on the networks.
