A farewell shot from the floor

As a newbie to "the Con," I was struck by just how friendly -- overwhelmingly friendly -- everyone was. Costumes, smiles and so much talent.  Wookies, Klingons and fairies -- oh my. And Batman and Robin, father and son John Whitt and Adam Whitt, 12.  The dynamic duo, hailing from Minneapolis, enjoyed their time in San Diego.  It warmed this photographer's heart to see them sharing a really cool experience, fully.
