Dragon*Con 2009: Part I

CommentMarch 17th, 2010 05:00

Let me begin by saying, Dragon*Con 2009 was one of the most active, hectic and generally stir crazy conventions I’ve ever had the dismay of participating in. As if the stress of running a booth wasn’t enough, I also had the pleasure of scheduling a wedding (away from Dragon*Con), 2 events (at Dragon*Con) and 5 specific client shoots during the course of this holiday weekend / special event.

I know… I’m crazy… but there really never is any rest for those with passion and drive.

I had initially planned on having all my antics at Dragon*Con in a single article and thought better of it as I started to write this. So, with that said, the second article is available and you can access it here.

The first big event for Dragon*Con 2009 was my new booth in collaboration with Steam Powered Pinky. I have to say, it was a fantastic design dreamed up by the both of us that ultimately lead to a tremendous increase in sales when compared to Dragon*Con 2008.

As with every big convention I attend, I always try to maximize my time by network and working with people I typically wouldn’t have access to. Meredith ended up being a lovely example of that. We found each other through Model Mayhem and the rest is really history.

Adding to the stress of the convention, I also had an old friend from my time at Kennesaw State University request for me to shoot her small wedding ceremony that weekend. It was really an intimate and lovely affair to behold. If you’re curious over my wedding package offerings be sure to check out my service page linked below!
