Photos: Chipper’s last regular-season home game

~ dannyhong ~ Leave a comment

For very likely the last time in 2012, I went to Turner Field to catch a Braves game.  The Braves are guaranteed at least one playoff game next Friday, but honestly, I don’t really like the idea of going to a playoff game by myself, so I’m probably not going to go.  So as far as I’m concerned, this is probably the last time I go to Turner Field for the remainder of this year.

But anyway, this also serves as the de facto final regular-season home game for Chipper Jones, to which the crowd showed up en masse to commemorate the occasion.  I’m actually proud of the baseball fans of Atlanta for a chance, seeing as how I figured the attendance would have been above-average, but not necessarily a packed house like it ended up being, because there was a Falcons game in town at the same time.  But they showed up in great numbers, and were never not willing to stand up and cheer for Chipper Jones every single time he stepped up to the plate, or made a good defensive play.  It’s nice to know that there are plenty of other people out there that genuinely seem to appreciate the career of Chipper Jones.

Photos: Moxie tailgate and baseball night

Man, this zoom lens is pretty balla.’  I tagged along to a company function from Jen’s work, because it got me into a baseball game for free.  Along the way, I got to see homeless people descend on their waning-down tailgate to converge upon the spread like they were vultures closing in on a freshly run-over rabbit.  But then I was back in my comfort zone of Turner Field, taking some pictures of possibly the last time anyone will see Chipper Jones wearing the classic traditional home whites.

Photos: 2012 Dragon-Con, Day Three

Finally, I bring to you the third day/night of Dragon-Con, which is my last, because I was simply hungover, and didn’t really feel social enough to proposition anyone still running around in costume on Monday morning to take any additional photos beyond Sunday night.

That being said, in this last gallery is of course, a good bit of costumes I saw while wandering around the grounds, but as seems to be the case in recent years, the last night is also the night where I get obliterated stupid drunk, and make an ass out of myself.

Photos: 2012 Dragon-Con, Day Two: The B-Roll

I did however, bust out my old Sony CyberShot point-and-shoot, because frankly, costume or no costume, I still like taking pictures of shit while I’m at Dragon-Con.  Besides, the duster coat in my Mafia Graves costume had plenty of pockets for me to stash it in, in those instances where I was having my picture taken.

But because it’s an old and dated camera, the quality of these pictures is obviously not as good as the ones I take with my DSLR.  Ironic too, considering almost all of these pictures are that of friends and acquaintances, and they get the point-and-shoot, but I guess that’s what comes with the territory of getting into costume again.  Que sera, sera.

Anyway, a whole bunch of candid shots and kind of backstage nature of our League of Legends group, as well as a few other random costumes seen while in my Mafia Graves costumes.

Photos: 2012 Dragon-Con, Day Two

Day two of Dragon-Con brought forth more and more costumes.  I hate to disappoint, but you may notice the overall number of photographs taken in this gallery is a bit shortchanged in comparison to the first day.  I have a logical explanation for that: I was in costume for a good chunk of the evening.

Day two was when I busted out the League of Legends Mafia Graves costume, in which I was so hard at work throughout the month of August, working on the gun for.  So basically, while I was in that costume, lugging around the gun that felt like it grew heavier and heavier as the night went on, I was without my fancy DSLR camera.

But still, I made my best efforts to photograph costumers, which coincidentally has a heavy lean towards girls I find attractive and/or sexy, and conscious efforts to get photographic proof that I saw the friends, acquaintances and good persons that I claim to know in my general life.

As always, I don’t have a lot of requests, but if you do use any of my images, a link or credit is greatly appreciated.  Photos after the jump.

Photos: 2012 Dragon-Con, Day One

I know there are people out there starving for some Dragon-Con pictures, so I thought I’d put a step towards the cause and go ahead and start publishing them as I make it through each day, instead of waiting to process all of them before posting.

Day one of Dragon-Con for me was mostly just acquainting myself to the convention again, taking everything in, and then eventually going to watch wrestling to interrupt socializing and picture taking.  Naturally, my focus at the con is heavy on taking pictures, and trying to be somewhat efficient at it, despite the fact that I’m a pretty lousy picture taker, relying on a fancy-schmancy camera to do most of the legwork for me.

So without further ado, here’s my pictures from the first day of Dragon-Con.  Have a little mercy on me and float a link in my direction, if you’re going to be sharing any pictures I’ve taken.
