So these are just some of my pictures from RAW Monday night. Sadly, I didn't bring my photo camera because I called ahead of time and they said cameras with detachable lens were not allowed. However, they didn't even check my bag when I went in so I totally could have brought it. I'm not sure it would have made a difference though, the lighting was really bad. It was very red for some reason and smoky because of the pyrotechnics. But I did have my regular camera and I got some good ones of John Cena :) These are just a few in general, I posted more on Facebook but it was a lot of fun. We talked about how that I could be taking official pictures someday because there was one guy with two cameras on his arm/neck and I was like whoa that would be so cool - he was right next to the ring and everything. But then I noticed that all of the staff around the ring - video, photography, etc, anything were all male. The only female staff I saw at all were the EMS people that took one of the wrestlers out on a stretcher. I'm not sure if that's just a coincidence - I doubt it. It's really upsetting though. And I was talking to people about it and they're like well females in the WWE are not valued as much as males. The Divas are objectified and whatnot. But I was also thinking that maybe it's for safety reasons? They do come out of the ring a lot and they wouldn't want weak women around them. I don't know. Either way it's upsetting because that would be so exciting. But we will see. I don't know what sports pictures I'm taking this week, it's hard because there's a gap between fall/winter sports and right now there's only the playoffs so we'll see. But RAW was definitely fun :) and YAY John Cena
Well, I guess the old saying -- no guts, no glory -- kinda' applies here. You should have tried to take you "real" camera with you.
