Comic-Con 2009: An Alternate Universe, Part 1
For the third year in a row, I was able to photograph the ever-expanding Comic-Con ’09 in San Diego for DVDTown.com! But really, that’s just an excuse to drag a camera to the center on nerddom. Check out William David Lee’s story and my photos: DVDTown.com’s Comic-Con ’09 Coverage
Below, I’ve mixed the published images with a story of the everything else I saw over three days. Ingird was there, and her brother Karl came from Connecticut. Also around were friends Erik, Rachel, and Drew!
Enjoy!
