This is a great post, Semenmeister!
Looking back in live, I've wasted so much time--and probably lost out on so much--by video-ing events instead of just taking fucking pictures. Pictures, you share. You never share video. And half the time your video is crap. You're right--someone at the show will do a better job than you. So just enjoy his shit.
Now, if I thought I could bring my Canon Rebel with telephoto lens in and get away with it, I'd LOVE to do that.
