And what I mean by “Cold & Busy” is that it was cold and busy during the con, and that I had a cold.
Holidays & Edits
I hope my millions dozens of readers are having a good holiday thus far. Christmas is done with only the New Year fast approaching now. I have had some free time lately to catch up on various things I haven't had the time to do in months. Editing (various projects) is something I enjoy, sometimes I get absorbed in it, and sometimes I just can't find the motivation/inspiration to even begin.Videos, videos, videos
With over a month passed since the last convention, and about two more till the next convention, I'm attempting to catch up on some con videos that I have not yet had the time to edit.
The first one is from Youmacon, I call it... Opa Youmacon Style.
I'll be updating this post for the next while with other video updates, stay tuned and let me know what you think.

Youmacon 2012: I can see Canada from it
NYCC 2012: At the Big Apple
Returning for a second year in a row, I attended New York Comic-con, which was coincidentally held in New York at the Javitz Center. As opposed to last year, where I got asked to come the day before the con, I was better prepped to attend and photograph the con this time around, here it is.
Unplugged Expo: Tiny First-year Con
Probably the smallest con I've attended thus far, and not much to say about it. I mainly went there to hang out with people and it was good for that.Fan Expo 2012 Review – Crowded and Fun
Yes- it was crowded again this year, and despite being able to make it for only 15 minutes on Friday and whole day Sunday and Saturday, I still managed to have a decent amount of fun in the congested con!

Otakon 2012: On the Storm's Edge
Gopher Dunes Pro National
Round 5 of the Canadian Pro National tournament, taking place at Gopher Dunes track. I visited the track last year, this year I had to make-do without my trusty 80-200 lens. I think I still managed to get some decent shots. Plenty to see at the events, and several vendors to check out, including monster who gave out free cans of energy, woot! It was a hot day, but not as hot as last year.
Guess I'll have to wait till next year to take more shots!
Check out the photos.

I received my new camera, the Nikon D800, about two weeks ago. It was an early birthday present to myself. I originally ordered the camera the day it became available to pre-order in Canada, sometime in mid-February I believe. My birthday was on May 10th and it arrived a few days early!
