I'll admit it; I'm a shitty photographer.
Lousy composition, lighting, positioning: it pretty much all sucks.
Another problem is that I miss opportunities to take interesting shots because it just doesn't occur to me to take a picture.
Like the teenage girl in line to get books signed by Neil Gaiman on Saturday who had snagged a folding chair from the Fiction and Fantasy Pavilion after Neil finished talking, and whiled away her time in line sitting down and knitting. She would pick up her chair and scoot it forward, whenever the line moved, then sit back down and return to her craft.
That was an interesting sight, and not only did I take a mental note of it, I actually pointed it out to Scott and Stacy.
But where's the picture? It would have made a good picture, but did it occur to me to take one?
Ah well.
In any case, here are some of the remaining (crappy) pictures I took on Saturday.
Nice Hair:

Here we see Stacy holding her and Scott's youngest (not counting the one Stacy's got in the oven, at any rate), Zoe. Lots of people complimented Stacy on her hair throughout the day. Why purple? Why not?
Too Shy:

Here we see Scott holding Vicki, who's being too bashful to have her picture taken, even though just moments before she was boldly lording the fact that she had a cape over me, as I was utterly capeless. Still, you can see the mischievous glint in her eyes, despite her supposed bashfulness.
At least he has most of his head:

The only shot I took of Scott getting his books signed in which he actually retains the majority of his head.
