2000 Memphis Star Trek/Xena Convention

	This one is a bit blurry but I thought it was a nice shot. Ms Leick is a bit playful at times. She'll tell the audience an anecdote and mime out the parts. I think in this one she just finished an anecdote and said something like "we're soooo bad!" while making this expression. [Full]
	Ms Leick striking a pose. She does that every once in a while and if you're not ready you'll miss the shot. I happened to have my camera settings in black and white so the shot came out relatively sharp. Some of my other shots when she did things were pretty bad, since many times I had my camera in non-optimal setups. [Full]
	Ms Leick is telling us about playing a devil in Xena. She's crouching down and making menacing motions. People took a lot of photographs of her whenever she crouched down. [Full]

	Another shot of Ms Leick crouching. This and the last shot are in the blurry/interesting category because she moves her arms around too much. As I said, I can turn up the ISO sensitivity and increase the shutter speed so I can capture motion better, but
since none of those pictures made the final cut, that should give you an indication of the quality drop when ISO is increased. Oh, ISO speed is a measure of the sensitivity to light, higher is better. Most 35mm cameras use ISO 400 or less film, usually ISO 100 or 200 (ISO doubles at each step). Digital cameras have only one "film" with a specific ISO, you can simulate other ISOs by adjusting the gain of the CCD sensor. You can get a similar effect in normal cameras by using different films, use a really fast film on a cheap camera and you'll get grain in the picture (or is that using slow film on a fast camera?).

	A nice black and white shot of Ms Leick standing. This and the next few photographs were shot taken sideways. Most of the sideways shots I zoomed in so she filled the picture better. But zooming in means you need a slower shutter speed or the picture is darker, so the closeup pictures were only marginal and none of the full-body closeup shots made the cut. These are sort-of closeup without zooming in all the way. [Full]
	Ms Leick glancing at my end of the room. [Full]
