To kick off this year’s Comic-Con event, DowntownRob helped coordinate a huge event combining both the Comic-Con and Twitter community. The event was held at Voyeur in the Gaslamp downtown San Diego. The staff was very nice and the venue had plenty of space to hold the event.

SDBloggers is a meetup group with the goal of “expanding our knowledge of blogging through networking and learning.” The events are hosted at various venues and this night everyone gathered at the Currant Restaurant inside the Sofia Hotel in Downtown San Diego.

SDBloggers is a great way to network and meet new people, learn new things and engage in powerful conversations. You’ll meet like-minded individuals working in various industries. Most of the people attending SDBloggers have a blog but it is by no means limited to people with blogs. That night I met a fellow who said he didn’t have one. If you’re looking to get started with a blog you can be certain to receive an overwhelming response to your questions.

More pictures after the jump!

We had a raffle for a free room at the Sofia Hotel. Here is our winner:

Welcome all those from the SDBloggers meetup group, please visit my other blog as well for the technology, productivity and stuff side of me. I had the pleasure of attending the San Diego Bloggers 1 Year Anniversary Party and was overwhelmed with people from all over San Diego. SDBloggers is a meetup.com group which met tonight at the Modus Supper Club which almost seemed like not enough room for all the bloggers.

I’d like to thank Matt Browne for creating the group and all those that I met and talked with.

November is right around the corner and I’m posting an update on what Photos by Rowell is working on. At the top of the list is Sheree and Scott’s wedding photos. I’m going through each photo and they are turning out really well.

I’ve booked two other photoshoots:

Nathan & Riley Child Photography Portraits

I’m looking forward to working with these two kids. We’ll be working in their parents’ home and then moving to the neighborhood park to get some creative playground shots. Hopefully, the kids won’t notice me as much with the camera and act naturally but most importantly, listening to me and their parents to get the shots they want. For this I’ll be focusing on using the Canon 50mm 1.2L. I’m pretty excited to get some sweet child photography bokeh.

DJ Misha Urban Photography Portraits

Mid-November This project is currently on hold. I will have the pleasure of working with San Diego’s house Dj, DJ Misha. Just a little bio on Misha:

Born in the city of Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine, DJ Misha relocated to the United States in 1991 and settled down in San Diego, California. Misha has held residencies at some of the finer clubs San Diego has to offer: Envy at The Ivy Hotel, Jack’s in La Jolla and Harneys Sushi in Old Town. He became the preferred dj for San Diego Euro Circle events, and was selected to play major fundraising events for the San Diego City Ballet and Rady Childrens Hospital.

For my own personal taste, I’ll be photographing the boats in the San Diego harbor with the downtown skyline as the backdrop. I’m also looking forward to photographing my friends and I for breakfast. The food better be great because I’ll be reviewing it here on my blog! Lastly, there will be some technology photographed and presented. You’ll see the hardware that this blog runs on. The backbone of the interwebs.

Sounds quite a lot to get done starting now through the end of November. I’m always looking for new ideas and projects so if you have any, comment it in!
