20070523 i heart f/1.4

Up next, UFC 71 at MGM Grand on Saturday night. Today was the "open workouts" which really means the fighters shadow box for 30-90 seconds for pictures and then do a group interview. MGM has a big conference going on and even UFC got squeezed out of the usual arena studios and into two gutted hotel rooms on the fourth floor. It made less than interesting pictures so I indulged with simple portraits with my new 50mm/1.4 as an alternative.
