I’ve spoken before on how much I love candid photography, and I love the fleeting memories they represent. Nothing lasts long, and we’re always moving forward in our lives; the world is constantly changing.
Kumoricon
TWOI: 11/10/17
Happy Friday!! I fortunately get this holiday off from work, so I’ll be catching up on a few items that have fallen by the wayside. The three-day weekend is a welcome birthday gift 🙂
This week on Instagram, I continued playing with some grid photos (are you liking this new experiment?), and I included some photos from my other photographic life: event photography at Kumoricon.
These first three were from my post responding to this week’s challenge, “peek.” You can read it here.
WC: A Glimpse at the Candid
As you know, I love landscape photography. But I also have another love – a completely different genre that doesn’t seem to fit into this at all.
I love candids.
Weekly Challenge: Failing at being a Con Photo Manager
When I saw the first challenge for this week – “It’s not this time of year without…” – I thought I’d have fun with posting some beautiful autumn pictures, odes to squash, or my anticipation of a big family Christmas.

We had one of the best photographer groups.. lots of great talent and solid work ethics. It was a relief over some of my past experiences. And we even had some amazing videos come out of our blossoming subdepartment. Continue reading
Kumoricon ’15: Days 1 & 2
In my last post, I summarized my journey into the geekdom of anime. I have been to many conventions, and I continue to add more to my repertoire, but my heart and my home lie with Kumoricon. It’s easy to claim this convention as mine. It’s local, anime-specific, and it was the con that really solidified the otaku within me. I have since met many friends, I have so much fun shooting it, and it is always the convention which I most anticipate. Continue reading
