CC10 – Star Wars

Star Wars was very popular at Comic-Con even after all these years. There were people wearing costumes from all eras of the movies. There was a huge display area promoting the Star Wars Clone Wars franchise, the Star Wars “In Concert” series, and all sorts of things related to the series.

I overheard someone merrily congratulating a costumed maiden for portraying Princess Leia wearing something other than the slave costume. The slave costume was rather popular this year.

Comic-Con 2010

Last month I spent an entire Friday doing photography at the San Diego Comic-Con. This is a major event for film, comics, and costume lovers. I took over 300 photos in the exhibit hall of displays, people, and costumes. I could easily have spent the entire weekend at the event. {Unfortunately, four day membership tickets sell out for the event about 7 months in advance of the convention. I’ll know better next time to buy a full membership in September for next year’s show.)

I posted some of my photographs on Flicker. Over the next few blogs here in the Gallery, I will post the artistic images I made from other photos. This week, I’ll start with a look at some of the interesting people who wandered the exhibit areas.

Flower Power

“Flower Power” was one of the catch phrases of the sixties. The sheer beauty of flowers is both inspiring and rejuvenating. Here are some flowers to help bring some peace to your spirits.

Carnival Comes to Town

A small carnival came to Oakhurst a few weeks back and I got to watch them set things up. They started arriving on Tuesday, had it mostly set up by Wednesday, opened on Thursday, and left on Monday to go off to another site. There were about ten rides and various games and concession stands. [...]

Animal Flair

I’ve always had a special fondness for animals of all sorts. It’s always fun to photograph them. Equines Noble Steed I saw this horse at a Civil War Reenactment event. He posed so proudly that it was as if he wanted his photo taken. I just had to oblige such a fine show-off. Muley This [...]
