More pictures of the East Bay Comic-Con in Concord. The first post featured photos taken using 35mm film. This post is the digital stuff. 50mm is a little too long when you get in tight spots at a convention, so I had to take along the Ricoh GR, which has an 28mm-equivalent lens and a big APS-C sensor, despite it’s small size. Really great, unassuming little camera.  Great time at a great con.

I can walk around a comic book convention all day. Today, I did just that. Soaking in the beautiful art, toys, and comics amidst a thousand other like-minded people makes the day go by so fast. At today’s East Bay Comic-Con in Concord, CA, I shot pictures using my Olympus OM-G, an all manual 35mm film camera with a a 50mm f/1.8 lens, using Kodak UltraMax 400. I shot some digital stuff too–but I’m putting that in another post. I really do still prefer the look and the process of shooting with film, so the film stuff gets it’s own post. I scanned with an Epson V500 flatbed scanner, and read comics with the negatives scanned.

We went to Kauai in October. Shot everything with 35mm Fujicolor 200 film loaded into a Fujifilm Klasse S. The film wasn’t the greatest, as it was hastily purchased because the Kodak I ordered didn’t arrive on time. Shadows have a green tint to them, but such is the personality of different emulsions.

While I certainly would have shot more with digital, I think the volume of what I treasure from this trip would actually have been reduced. I really had to make sure what I was shooting was important enough to document. This is only a small fraction of what I shot, and the rest will remain in the personal archives, to be viewed and treasured only in person, at home. Just like the old days.

David is a young actor that is preparing to market himself for new roles in television and film. We had a great shoot at the studio in Benicia, and part of the process is getting to know him before we start shooting so I could help him create the the best possible headshot for his needs. Understanding an actor’s personality is important for me so that I can better understand how they take direction and help them to be as comfortable as possible. He did great in front of the camera and I’m sure we’ll be seeing more of him in the future.
