My camera is drawn to the color and fuss. Always.
Every time. But there is far more

publishers.
Those are just a few small

Himself: He’s still working on his
photos. Yesterday got into a Star Trek
panel that was giving out models. Dinner
pizza and a salad. Just missed Captain
Poolie. Home and bed.
Herself: Really enjoyed my second day of work
in the Portfolio Review area. Saw
Preston in the new registration area at the Marriot. He loves it.
Bad shoulder and neck ache….Camera?
Took Tylenol and less pictures.
Gratitudes: That a friend found an
extra ticket and that Margot, Zoe, and her best friend could come today.
