280/2024 – Another Sunday Update

Yesterday I spent a day at MagicCon, a fantasy / mystery TV / Movie fan convention. I’m not a fantasy / mystery fan and honestly not much into any kind of TV shows these day either but I was interested in two of the main guests – Richard Armitage and Elijah Wood.

I used the time during the autographs / photo session to get a late lunch somewhere and have a stroll through the river park, before I got back to the convention centre for the final three panels. Unfortunately most of my photos didn’t turn out as well as I had hoped. Still so much to learn about how to use my camera in not ideal lighting. I definitely do better with inanimate objects like buildings and landscape. 

The time at the convention made me ponder fandom in general and how I have been a fan-type all my life. But also how I have been a different type of fan in different fandoms and also in the different stages of my life. I started putting all those thoughts into a post, but it needs more work and I won’t manage to finish it today. I still wanted to share some photos from yesterday.
