 There was a Collectors Convention in my local Shopping Center this weekend. Daisy was very excited because she got to meet one of the cast of heroes (Isaac), but what made me smile was the fact that there were people wandering around in full Star Wars/Star Trek gear. Not becessarily how I would want to spend my weekend but they were having a great time and bringing a lot of pleasure to people and who can complain about that?

Doubt this will score well but it serves as a nice memory of a fun afternoon (of course I do realise I should really have not been having fun with my daughter but instead spending 12 hours alone setting up the perfect studio shot, but my priorities are waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay out of whack that way ;-) )

I laughed when I saw this because I have a picture of the boys posing with a guy dressed like this. His job was to dress like that and go to birthday parties. The kids were excited about that but the guy creeped me out lol.

You did a good job with capturing the details in the white areas of the costume. Good clarity and focus on that too.

This makes me laugh. I love the color and the way this is processed. Just such a fun shot that can have so many stories... sad stories, but stories nonetheless

Love the expression on the kid in the back right, like he's just awakened and wondering where in the world did all of the creatures come from. The picture is tac sharp and I loved the story of Star Wars comes to the Mall.

"This is not the princess you are looking for..." "This is not the princess I am looking for..." "You folks are okay! "You folks are okay!" "Move along please!" "Move along please!" :}

The girl blocking the shot really takes away from the photo I think.

Funny. The kid in the background is a bit distracting.
