Now able to stream live from my 3G iPhone via Qik.com.

I’ve been doing the Photography at most events in the last few years,  but it’s been awhile.  I thought my shots were going to be horrible, but this show had great lighting on at least three sides of the ring.   The outcome of a few airborne spots turned out nice.

Overall the show had a reasonable “active” crowd for being free admission.  Despite the attendance, the people were very active.  Steve Boz’s opponent (not remembering his name) got in my face.  He had tons of heat with the crowd.  However, I think Steve has great potential and could see him as a main eventer in the WWE someday.

You can check out the photos from the event here.  Please do not distribute these.

What started off as a financial goal to afford the iPhone 3G,  turned into a social experiment.  I wanted to see if people would maintain their communication with me even though I didn’t have a phone.  Despite Facebook etc. being a good alternative, it just didn’t provide the realtime connection that cell phones do today.

I’m not holding a grudge against anyone,  but I truly did feel cut off from the world for those 5 months.  I did it to myself,  but it was for the right reasons.  All the cell phone bills that would have accumulated up to July 11th were cash in my pocket.  To me, it shows how bad you really want something.  Wanting a phone may seem like a ridicules example,  but anything can be a goal.

Could you do this same experiment?
