Sorry to keep you waiting but here it is, my first large gallery from Comic-Con International San Diego 2015. Let me try to explain some of the anxiety I experience during Comic-Con. I am starting to realize my goal of getting a picture of every person dressed up in a costume may be unrealistic. Let’s do some math. There are well over 100,000 people that attend Comic-Con every year. Now let us say that about 10 percent dress up. So maybe 10,000 people dress up. At the most, I have taken maybe 500 different photos of cosplayers. How do I capture the largest amount? Do I walk around to find them or do I wait in one spot until they pass? I look at my watch as see I only have so many hours left in the day. My heart races and I search some more. This year I did stay in a couple of my favorite places. I love the stairs by “C” and also I like taking pictures in front of the Gas Lamp Quarters arch. One thing is for sure, when I am there I work hard the whole time to try and bring you and Nuke The Fridge as many pics as I can. So MAYBE my goal is unreasonable but it aint gonna stop me from trying. The first large gallery is called “Solo” not as in Han but as in just one. I hope you enjoy them and don’t worry, there’s more.
