Specific picture descriptions: Photos above with "i" icons next to the bracketed sequence numbers (e.g. "[1] ") are described as follows:
SDCCA_060719_007.JPG: Sergio Aragones, famous for his "marginal annotations" in Mad magazine but also for his Groo the Conqueror series.
SDCCA_060719_022.JPG: Mark Evanier, a very friendly guy, who hung around and moderated more than 10 panel discussions.

SDCCA_060719_072.JPG: The woman is Veronika Kotlajic, who's the subject of a picture book published by Heavy Metal. A variety of photographers, painters, and illustrators portray her in various stages of undress.
SDCCA_060719_085.JPG: Veronika Kotlajic
SDCCA_060719_092.JPG: Neal Adams, an incredible illustrator, who pioneered a movement in the comic book industry which allowed the artist to get their work back. He told me that the artists were paid for their services, not their art. If they had been paid for their art, the comic book companies would have had to pay sales tax and they didn't. So why not return the art works to the person who created them?

2006 photos: Equipment this year: I was using all six Fuji cameras at various times -- an S602Zoom, two S7000s,a S5200, an S9000, and an S9100. The majority of pictures this year were taken with the S9000. I have to say, the S7000s was the best camera I've used up to this point..
Trips this year: Florida (two separate trips including Lotusphere and taking care of mom), three weeks out west (including Yellowstone), Williamsburg, San Diego (comic book convention), and Georgia.
Number of photos taken this year: 183,000.
