I totally agree, I really loved the quality of Hunter's photos, but I'm biased,
because it turns out I have the same camera Hunter used (the Nikon CoolPix CP95
0).
:-)   (You should see the quality of the close-ups it takes, they're really
stunning.) IMHO, the Nikon line of digital cameras is very hard to beat for she
er
image quality (color, sharpness, etc.). The thing is, though, if the concert wa
s
at night, the pictures probably would have turned out awful, since digital came
ras
still aren't good enough for low-light situations. (I took some last summer of
Patti at Damrosch Park, after dusk, and they aren't good enough to post.)

Yeah, too bad about the microphone being in the way, I know which photos you're
talking about, I wish her face was totally visible in those. And the person who
designed the stage did a great job with scrims and colored lights.
