I had the opportunity to shoot a photo essay as part of my Journalism course.
I'm still gaining experience as a photographer, so I searched online for events in Winnipeg that seemed interesting and were within my time frame. I was elated to find that C4 Wonderland (essentially a mini version of Central Canadian Comic-Con) was on.
I've never felt more comfortable talking to strangers than I was here, because these are my people: nerds, geeks, and gamers.
