Nice touch, better than a camera phone...
Sunday night I went to see The Legendary Pink Dots at the Granada theater (great show!). I don't go to too many shows there, but it is a very nice venue. Since they usually sell tickets direct, they have the email address of everyone who purchased tickets online. This morning I received an email from them with several professional photos from Sunday nights show.
One thing you see at almost all shows these days is people trying to take pictures of the bands with their camera phones. They tend to turn out about as well as you would expect from a camera phone in low light, basically a waste of electrons. It is a very nice change to have the venue send you good quality pictures from the show you attended. Sometimes the little things can go a long way. Maybe other venues will take note.

There is a place in Milwaukee (Turner Hall) which does that. It is very nice.

At the NIN gig last weekend, the crowd was a sea of cell phones. It was quite a sight. I almost took a picture of it.

But yes, most cellphone cameras suck ass. I'm consistently surprised when people get good shots with the iphone camera though. It handles low light really well.
