On To Knightrocon!

Journal Entry: Sun May 12, 2013, 12:49 PM




Well, I've been to Megacon, the CGA show in Crystal River,  Bellecon (for one day) and Khaotic Kon since my last entry.


Megacon was really odd.  I spent too much time trying to get places and not enough time taking photos.


The Crystal River CGA show had pretty good attendance, and I did some nice work.


Bellecon was.... $30 for Saturday?!  I only took about 500 photos of three people.  It was nice to to talk to some old friends and make some new ones.


Khaotic Kon was much better this year.  They moved to a new venue, the Sheraton Tampa East (formerly the Crown Plaza that Necronomicon and Metrocon were located.)  To save money, I stayed at home and drove to the con every day.  Then I got the crazy idea to make prints for people.  I was able to give out some prints.


My next con is Knightrocon!

I am the photographer. It is OK to criticize the photography. It is NOT OK to criticize the models.


My X-Box gamer tag is "Camera Mike."

I'm a lot like me, only more so.

I'm really not as serious as I look.

Shots before Supercon 2007 (I think it was in November) were taken with a Nikon Coolpix 995. From November 2007 to December 2011 all shots were taken with a Canon EOS 40D. In December, my EOS 40 exploded, wiping out a small African village. I was forced to use a Nikon Coolpix S9100. It is a good consumer grade camera. Then I bought a Canon Rebel T3 in January 2012. It's a better consumer camera. Now I have a Canon EOS 60D.


I only refuse to take a stranger's picture under two circumstances:

1- I'm almost out, or out of memory.

2- You make a bad first impression. <- This has only happened 4 times. Two of the times involved alcohol.

I don't believe the term "comic book" is a valid term for what we generally refer to as "comic books." The illustrated stories are, with few exceptions, not primarily stories of comedy. Therefore, I use the term "manga" when refering to illustrated fiction, since the Japanese term means... >.< "whimsical pictures."

Some days I can't win.


My current rules for Deviant Art:

I cannot have the same person in two different photos, on my "Newest Deviations."

If you check my stats, you will most likely find that the current day is the day that I have uploaded the most photos to Deviant Art.


My Convention Schedule for the future:

2013

March 2nd CGA Show - Fort Myers

Necronominicon

Chibi-Pa

You are very welcome! I am eating whole wheat pasta with a mediocre red sauce and Romano cheese.

You have been to many conventions.... do you still have your tags from them all?

No. Not all conventions give tags.
