Pete Ashdown on his Run at the Hill

adamdrayer writes "Wired recently conducted an interview with Pete Ashdown, the tech-minded ISP owner who is hoping for a major upset in the race for Utah's Senate seat against long-time incumbent Orin Hatch. Ashdown hopes to help pave the way for better decision-making on the Hill regarding technology. Hatch is among the more conservative politicians on the issues of 'digital privacy' and 'fair use,' while one of Ashdown's main objectives is to reform the Digital Millennium Copyright Act."

Understatement

[A beautiful mind]

Hatch is among the more conservative politicians

That's like saying the Amish are among the more conservative users of computer technology.

All together now

His photographer should be shot

Whomever did this photo [peteashdown.org] of Pete could have done better. They've used wide f-stop creating a narrow depth of focus. Thats OK except when you do it on someone up close, it makes their nose look big. Also, because his face is in focus but his shoulders and body aren't, they look like they are a long way away - so he looks like he has a 2' neck.

There are other photos from other photographers on the site. If you'd like, I can send you a signed copy whatever one you like the best.
