#TFF2106 in review :)
9 years ago
Oh my gosh, I have so many notes in my celphone, in Telegram, on stray sheets of paper...I don't know if I can ever collect them all!
This was the best con experience I've had, beginning to end. There were a few problems, but they were mostly background elements, and in most cases, invisible. Lots of success.
In advance of TFF, we'd built a small team of friends with cameras (Thank you so much to photo staff team Shrike and Jackpot, friends-with-cameras Axle, Teeka, Kieran, Kilo, MAx, Enon, and HUGE thanks to my right-hand volunteer, Higuma!) We were able to bring cameras to many smaller events that normally wouldn't get much coverage. Of course, we couldn't get there before Wild Bill TX did, but it's not a competition :) Telegram is an amazing tool!
Big Stories? Hmm...those are what I most want! The Circus Freaks were a treasure, I'm so glad to have had that in the con! And I think being the first convention after Fiesta after Zootopia HAS to be a story. I'm just not sure how to frame it!
There's a few other stories out there I can see the edges of, and some that I didn't see but am looking forward to :)
Had a great time chasing down photographers and talking with them about the project, and perhaps scaring some of them! It was a special treat finally meeting WildBillTX, Eduardo Soliz, and Images by Allie.
I heard that Path gave a callout to the Furry Flashback project during closing ceremonies--but I missed it! Doh! Oh well, maybe I can catch the video after the fact...
What's next? Get the conbook online, the raw numbers, add to the photo gallery as I can, process my own little stock of 350 or so shots, learn Adobe Light Room, get back with everyone who said something kind to me...most of the staff is done for the year, but Flashback's just starting up :)
Thank you for everyone who made this such a wonderful con!
