It is the first presidential portrait to be taken with a digital camera — a Canon EOS 5D Mark II to be exact.

you guys, i was shooting my friend’s show at the hopetoun tonight, and it was really lonely! i introduced myself to the guy with the 5d who was shooting next to me for most of it, but he was a little bit of a douche, and i was all “;______; I MISS CANBERRA”
(also, the hopetoun is epically dark, so even with my snazzy new lens, i got like, one good picture. all in all, i probably should have just done more than two tequila shots, called it a bust and sat back down with my non-photographer friends, but w/es.)
if he was asian, it was probably Spinalfaun from FasterLouder… I don’t know his real name. I think he was scared of me when i said HI! cause we had the same FL shirt on at Come Together last year.
lol no, not asian. his name’s zac? idk if he shoots for anything, we didn’t really talk for too long, but he took a really horrible photo of me and was all “i always take photos of other snappers, AND THEN I HANG THEM ON MY WALL HAHAHAHA” and i was like “lol yr a bit creepy dude”
Spiralfaun’s name is Ashley/Ash, and srsly, if you’re not going to take lots of photos with your 1.2 then I’ll take it kthx.
I don’t think it’s Spinalfaun/Ashley/Ash. He once used a Canon, now he’s moved onto the Nikons.
He ain’t no douche either, he’s a top bloke.
