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 a good pro-sumer camera. I am saving for a better camera. Maybe I'll have it by Dragon*con.

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.

Knightrocon was rather small.  I did an extensive shoot with Asja.  I still have to get her the photos.

The CGA Show in Punta Gorda was pretty cool.  I went to an Irish pub with some friends, and had a pasty and a double chocolate stout.

The CGA Show in Cocoa Beach was OK.  Finch drove me out there and back.

Khaotic Kon was crowded in a small venue.  If it is in the same hotel next year, I won't be attending.

The CGA Show in Crystal River had a decent turn out.

Pariahcon was rather surreal and fun.  I didn't take that many photos.  I had a lot of fun doing thing at the con.  I plan on going next year.

Since Florida Anime Experience has cheaper hotel rates, I'm going to FAE.

Thanks for the watch!

I've been wondering... How is Dragon*Con? I've been wanting to go for years! Think it's worth the trip across the country?

*Insane-Pencil 15 hours ago Photographer

Oh, you are very welcome!

Dragon*con is amazing. I finally got a chance to go to Comic-Con International, and I still like Dragon*con more than Comic-Con. At Dragon*con, no matter where you are, or what you are doing, you are missing something fun someplace else at Dragon*con.

I think it is definitely worth a cross-country trip. I hope you intend to fly!

~oyamaanza 15 hours ago

I've always wanted to go! I know a few people who have gone and keep telling me I need to go at least once. I think I will like it for that reason though- the always-something-going-on part haha ^_^
And also the length of the con. And the... being able to get away with more "showy" costumes part ;3

I would more than likely fly. The trip to Atlanta by jet isn't bad but to drive across all that flat land? NOTHANKS XD

*Insane-Pencil 14 hours ago Photographer

Most people arrive on Thursday, pick up their badge, and hang out. There are costumes on Thursday.

There is good sized food court attached to one side of the Hyatt, and the Dragon*con con suite sometimes has the best soup!

You are very welcome! And thank you for the kind words about my photography. I am honored that you like it.

You are very beautiful. If we ever wind up in the same place, I would love to photograph you.

~PiggyNukka 4 days ago

No problem~

And thank you. If I ever end up in the east coast (from your planned cons it seems that's where you are) I would like that a lot.

I will be at San Diego Comic Con!! If you are there, we can meet up! Also, I think some friends are moving to Seattle, so I may attend a con in that area sometime!
