Me and my camera in my home town, my capital city, my london
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!
