As a reminder to all those that follow my blog, I am a nerd, or a geek in other terms. Have you seen my toy photography? Anywho, for those in the Denver area (or therabouts), the Denver Comic Con will be making it's second appearance in the Mile High City. Don't believe me? Click on the following link Denver Comic Con and you will learn that it will be held this coming May 31-June 2 at the Colorado Convention Center.
You may be wondering what this particularly has to do with me. The short of it, this is something I enjoy and just like it says in the side bar, this blog is here so you can learn about what makes me tick and what inspires me. So what better way than to learn about one of my many passions: Comics.
The Denver Comic Con is a great opportunity to embrace passion, from storytellers to artists, to gamers to designers and ultimately to just rekindle the things that made you smile as a kid. Love Superman? They'll be celebrating Supes 75th birthday. Fan of Spiderman. Stan "The Man" Lee, creator of Spiderman, as well as a host of other of heroes that are making a resurgence of late will be there! Excited about new media and the internet? Well, new media queen of the internet Felicia Day will be there to talk about web series, acting, gaming, and all kinds of things.
Last year I went and had a blast! Not just because of comics and art and creativity and passion and community, but because not only does Denver Comic Con provide all of that, it is a production of the Comic Book Classroom, a non-profit, free after school program for fifth through eight grade students that teaches literacy and arts education through comic books. As a visual learner myself, I can not tell you how wonderful a program this is. In fact I will probably tell you more later.
So, wot wrap up cause there are a lot of words on this post and a short amount of pictures, Denver Comic Con, May 31-June 2. Hope to see you there.

The Final Room
So we've found ourselves well removed from the annual photo a day, so it's a good time to take a look at what we've done. I bet when I first mentioned the concept, you were expecting something more along the lines of the above photo. Honestly, I wanted this to be the first photo, but it turned out to be the last. This year's project was all about finding inspiration in the room, not just the things you keep in the room. and even though I think we mostly went back and forth between the objects themselves and taking inspiration from them, everything worked out in the end.
And without further ado, lets take a look at the ones I thought worked out the best.
Day 15 - The series developed less into objects, but into shapes and color. This just happened to epitomize the shape and color itself. Instead of looking at the objects abstractly, you could look directly at the object and you see the shapes and the colors themselves. Also, this probably means I don't throw anything away.
Day 22 - Star Trek. The shape is Iconic, the warm color bath, the feel that you our out there with it.
Day 27 - When we started this project, it was about finding inspiration in the space you return to. For most of the project, it has meant an emphasis on color and shape, using the soft focus to take away the "thing" and leave simply the shape of it. This, in it's shape and design, combined with the color and shadow made something much more interesting than the shape alone. So yes, it stands out from the entire collection of this project, but it epitomizes what this project was meant to be. Also note, that I didn't consciously set this up. I woke up that morning looking for the days shot and there it was. Again, exactly what this project was supposed to be about.
