I actually got this almost a month ago, but just hadn’t photographed the medal yet. It was a great race – my fastest half marathon yet!

Westley’s expression is what really elevates this family portrait from good to great ;-)

Fuji X100S | ISO 4000 | 23mm | f/2.0 | 1/640 sec
For the first time in a while, I’m not at BlizzCon this year. It’s definitely a lot of fun and I miss it, but it’s also very relaxing to take a year off.
So instead of the long drive, the cost, the lines, the exaustion, and the crowds, I’m doing the Virtual Ticket video stream instead. It’s a pretty nice way to get to see all the panels without needing to rush around.
But I still think I’ll want to go in-person again next year. Taking a year off ought to let me fully recharge and be extra excited for it again ;-)

Virtual Photography | Captured and processed in the Forza Horizon 2 video game on the Xbox One system
Getting a new Forza game on a new game system means that it’s time for some more virtual photography. Here I am taking my 2010 Maserati Gran Turismo S out for a spin on a rainy day.

The Xbox One controller is a lot like the Xbox 360 controller, only even better. Which is great, because I really loved the 360 controller! I really need a get a better picture of this sometime, but right now I really just want to play it for a little bit before bed ;-)

With the combined might of a special white edition bundled with Sunset Overdrive and a temporary price drop, Microsoft finally got me to buy an Xbox One.

Canon 6D | ISO 100 | 50mm | f/4.5 | 1/100 sec | Lit with two Alien Bees B400 units. One through umbrella to camera left and the second behind and above subject.
I set up a little photo studio in the back room at a Halloween Party I went to this evening, and I’m sure glad I did! Once again, my friend, Gina, had done some absolutely amazing makeup. So glad I was able to get a great shot of it!
