New York Comic Con

Loooong overdue.

New York Comic Con. Where else would one find a more eclectic bunch? A group of people who are so passionate about their hobbies/obsessions that they proudly where it on their backs, literally.

Seriously nerding out in the best way and not afraid of what people think of them.

Where else can you find folks in cosplay, outside in a dance circle, shaking it to the "Cupid Shuffle"?

And where else can you find people who are not afraid to admit that they're 25 and still love these little guys?

For me, the most difficult part about shooting at Comic Con was adjusting to the lighting. Initially, a lot of my shots came out blue, so I spent a lot of time playing with the white balance until I was finally happy with the result.

And, the second most difficult part was that there was just SO MUCH going on, which is my usual problem. My eyes were overly-stimulated, I guess. I just wanted to capture everything, but in my mind, I wanted to edit myself and be picky about what I caught on camera.

Is it better to take as many pictures as possible in order to have more options later? Or shoot exactly what I want initially?

I think I answered my own question...

Island Life

Took a much needed week-long vacation to Oahu. I didn't take as many photos as I had wanted. Actually, I only took 3 good ones. Instead, I shot daily vlogs. Enjoy!

The Search

Is it just me... or do you feel like when you start getting into a new hobby, that hobby is the only thing you can think about? Even as I sit at work, trying to put a TV show together, I can't help but wish I could be outside (or inside, or wherever) with my camera, practicing (because lord knows I need the practice). my camera, which I'd mentioned in my first post, is loaded to me by Nick, my boyfriend, given to him by his father. I don't bring it home. It stays at Nick's apartment, on his desk. I can see it now. I really don't pick it up until the weekend, and when I do... I can't let it go. Maybe the fact that I don't see it every day causes me to miss it more. (I still call it, "it," haven't quite given camera a name yet.) Is that weird? Photography has reinvigorated a part of my life that I haven't explored in a while, one that I didn't realize was pushed so far back in my mind. Actually making something from scratch, taking

New beginnings

This blog certainly has been neglected, hasn't it? Let's change that (hopefully, I'll actually stick with it this time). I recently joined Hit Record and by "recently" I mean "this morning." It's a community-sourced production company that's kind of the brain child of Joseph Gordon-Levitt. Yes, that Joseph Gordon-Levitt . Hit Record encourages artists of all types - photographers, writers, actors, animators, etc. - to just be creative and collaborate. You don't have to be a professional, just passionate. You don't even have to be that passionate. Just mess around with whatever art form moves you, and upload it to the site. Or just explore. No pressure. Well, I browsed around and checked out what they call "Creative Challenges," which are essentially prompts for scripts, poems, pictures, whatever. And, I just started uploading some old photos from my computer based on the prompt. I have to say (not to toot my own horn, but
