Comic-Con Update

I used to go to the San Diego Comic Con every year. I started going in 1993, when the convention (and the convention center) were much smaller. Since then, it has expanded quite a bit, to include movie and television promotions and huge booths, not just from the usual suspects like DC Comics, but other media like the Sci-Fi channel and Sony.

This year, I found myself with only one day to devote to the convention, so I headed down on Thursday. My main reason for being there was to photograph the cast of Twilight, particularly Kristen Stewart, for an article for Premiere. I met up with my awesome journalist colleague Pamela Chelin and joined her for a roundtable interview session with the cast, a short photo session outside the interview room, and their panel to discuss the movie. As I was mainly there to capture the leads, Kristen Stewart (photo also included in the article on Kristen at Premiere) and Robert Pattinson (pictured above), and had limited time, I didn't capture all of the cast, but there are a few more candids and some shots of the panel in my Twilight set at Flickr.

More Comic-Con fun, nerdy goodness, and links to good-looking people after the jump!

Los Angeles light

One of the reasons why I loved my loft in L.A. is because it has northern exposure, which creates some very lovely soft light at almost every time of the day. This shot was taken in the late afternoon as our friend Teale sat in the window seat. She is looking west towards downtown.
