comiccon2014-1

So you may or may not have gathered that this week’s pictures are from Comic Con which was on at the Excel centre at the weekend. I could lie and say I only went because I was taking my nephew and his friends but I didn’t. I went for me. I am a geek. ComicCon showed me I could be proud to be a geek, that we geeks no longer need to hide, we can stand tall…and dress in spandex if we want to.

There were literally thousands at the event and it was weird to think that everyone there would normally have been on the periphery, the outsider, the nerd…and here they were en masse at the epicentre of their own society…it was their world, their domain, their rules. It was a strangely enriching experience to see all these geeks being able to be themselves without fear of recrimination or excessive violence. Superheroes, Sci-fi and gaming have become the biggest things on the planet so that means that deep down everyone must be a geek…yes, that means you too. You don’t have to be ashamed anymore. Time to get out of the geek closet. Join us! Be Geek! Be Proud!

#MYTLV (05)

Me and my camera in someone else’s town, my city break, my Tel Aviv

And so this concludes TelAvivision week – TA is a buzzing city with a really great vibe. The city itself is quite mashed up and messy but in a good way and pretty noisy. The people are very relaxed and very very friendly. The food is amazing. Its on a beach and its a serious 24/7 party town. It ticks a lot of boxes and exists like any good city, in its own bubble universe. It has more in keeping with other cities like Berlin or Barcelona than it does with the rest of its country. It was not what you expect but then so few things rarely are. When we leave preconceptions at home we see things as they are, not what we assume them to be…

This building above is actually where we stayed. It was described in air B&b as “almost a beach house” and to be fair, it was near the beach which I guess is what the “almost” was referring to.

These pictures were all taken at the Ha’Carmel Market which is one very thin 100 yard stretch of stalls and home to more great looking characters than you can shake a stick at. To see full gallery please click here

I’m sorry sir, I’m afraid I’m going to have to confiscate your crutch. It could be easily used as a weapon and therefore must be commandeered immediately. I appreciate its helping you walk sir but its for everyone’s safety…
