A huge thrill for me. After getting a photo of one of my favorite childhood comic artists (Neal Adams) at the San Diego Comic Con 2008, Ralph Bakshi stood next to me, and introduced himself to Neal Adams. I was absolutely floored. I then had the sense of asking Mr. Bakshi if I could take a photo of both him and Mr. Adams together, to which both agreed. This was THE photo for me at the comic con this year, as well as the biggest thrill of the year for me, taking a photo of two greats of the industry. It was a moment I will never forget. I am making copies for each of them and giving the printouts to them tomorrow. I am so elated.

Behind Ralph Bakshi is Neal Adams' son, Josh, who is following in his famous father's footsteps.

Ralph Bakshi is on the left, and Neal Adams is on the right.

Thanks, Hamin. I'm still feeling like an awestruck schoolchild. :) I'm there for the four days, and I'll be posting some of the better photos of the comic con soon. This was just what I consider the best of the best.

Thanks, Sider. I love the Comic Con. I have taken some photos I'll be uploading soon. There were a lot of Jokers (both new and old Jokers), as well as a few of the new and old Batman's. I even saw a few Supermen. It is a unique four days, and I look forward to them each year.

LOL. Thanks, Mom. This is one photo I am definitely framing. I took a copy to each of them, and they loved the photo. Ralph Bakshi, when he saw the photo, asked me how I got the photo processed so fast, and I told him, I live in San Diego, and just printed it out on my computer. I think the Comic Con is the only time I become a child once again and will become absolutely awestruck at seeing and meeting the people I admired as a kid. I'm definitely a Toys-R-Us kid. :)
