All Blue

I brought an expensive camera to Comic Invasion and somehow managed to turn every single shot blue. Some setting I’d never bothered to learn, hidden somewhere in the menus. The EOS 700D has been the worst gear investment of the year.

I went in thinking the name had to mean something—that this was where all the manga obsessives and graphic novel fetishists actually gathered. Instead it was just a handful of Spanish hipsters selling Captain Berlin zines out of a warehouse in Urban Spree.

But Nathalie and Janos found an action figure of Jake and discovered this manga called Oishinbo that’s entirely about food, mostly fish. They got completely into it. My photos are still all blue and worthless, but they didn’t care, and honestly I didn’t either. We ate pizza and cake after, which turned out to be the best part of the whole thing.

Bad photos and decent food. Not a bad way to spend a day.
