Comic Con Part 2: Save the Cheerleader, Save the World . . .

Wow! Comic Con has been quite the experience this year for me. This was the first year I have been able to secure a press pass so I have really enjoyed the front row perspective of some really great panels. I also enjoy not having to sneak past security this year!

So I of course have a ton of photos to share from friday and saturday at comic-con. Included are photos from the upcoming TV show The Bionic Woman featuring Michelle Ryan and Katee Sackhoff, the cast of the TV show Heroes including Ali Larter and Hayden Panettiere, Jericho, Narnia: Prince Caspian, The Incredible Hulk with Edward Norton and Liv Tyler, Iron Man featuring Robert Downey Jr. and Gwyneth Paltrow (who I was lucky to meet back stage) and Resident Evil 3 featuring Milla Jovovich. I also added two more photos from thursday of Jessica Alba and one of Leslie Bibb.

My blog for Comic-Con day 1 has just reached records for my best day ever!

Comic Con Day 1

The day started at the Old Town Trolley Center parking lot. No parking spaces, transformer and “my other vehicle is an x wing fighter” bumper stickers, I knew I was in for trouble. So we drove down to Petco Park and parked there. It was a long walk, they had all the girls in bikinis giving the bike rides for lkike 15 bucks, the guys really didnt have a chance so we got one for 5 bucks. There were nerds everywhere, and it would be nice if girls knew what fit them and wore that instead of being blinded and thus blinding me. I got a press pass for the first time this year which was really cool. We cut in line, nerds are too afraid to speak up. I did have to wait in line for over 2 hours for the Jessica Alba presentation, but my press pass got me right up to the stage so it made it all worth it. So here are the day 1 photos featuring ms. alba, clive barker, leslie bibb, and more. Tomorrow I return so stay tuned . . .

Eranda Sue’s 50th Birthday Party

Dear Viewer,

If you have clicked on this photo blog with the hope of finding normal subject matter in regards to my photography then I’m afraid you’ve clicked on the wrong link and should immediately switch over to the Del Mar races , Puerto Vallarta, or wait a few days for my comic-con blog. This blog may seem cheery at first, when a family celebrates their mother’s 50th birthday, but don’t be fooled. If you know anything about the Borgogna’s you already know that even plesant events quickly lead down the road to craziness.

In fact, within these photos you will soon be viewing, you will find a family photo 5 years in the making, a girl who sneezes when she goes out into the sun, a new obsession with avocados, and the reapperance of a charactor they’d hoped never to see again.

I am bound to photograph these tragic events, but you are free to click off this link and seek something lighter. You likely have some other occupation so if I were you I would get off this page at once so that the madness does not consume you.

With all due respect,

Trevor Stolebarger

you’ve been warned!

Opening Day @ Del Mar

So for the second year in a row I had the opportunity to hang out with my friends and take a limo bus to the opening day races at Del Mar. Last year I snuck into the press area and got to meet Drew Brees, I didn’t mind since he was no longer a charger. This year I snuck in and got to watch a kids sock hop race, oh well, hopefully I’ll have better luck at comic-con next thursday. All in all it was a great day, i won $50 bucks and got to spend time with some good people. Hope y’all enjoy the pics, and the new logo. . .

Attack of the Nerds

So about a week ago I got my ticket for comic-con for saturday. Then yesterday I had to buy a second one for thursday, I will explain later. For those that don’t know, every year in July downtown san diego is invaded by nerds from accross the country for 4 days. I however join them every year, and it is actually an event I look forward to. WHY? most people ask me. Do I dress up? Hell no! Do I even like comic books? No ma’am. So there are 4 reasons why I go:

1. To make money $$$$$! You can too! You see they sell exclusive action figures and give away a ton of free movie marketing materials. Not every dork from around the country can go, but they all can go to ebay! Last year I made close to $300 and harfdly even tried, that was off 5 action figures, this year I will do much better.

2. Comic-con is really just a marketing tool for every single major movie company. I may not like comics but if you’ve seen my DVD collection youy know I love movies.

3. I am a graphic designer and a photographer and suprisingly comic-con is the place I go for inspiration on a yearly basis. There are some amazing artists there!

4. And my last reason and most important reason is the reason why I had to buy a second ticket this year when all other years I can barely survive one day. JESSICA ALBA. This is where we first met. Actually there are tons of celebrities that go to comic con, from alba, to samuel l jackson, buffy, and angelina jolie. I bought my ticket before they announced the lineup so I had to get a second. So thursday will be Jessica Alba, the LOST panel, and buying toys to sell. Saturday will be the HEROES panel with the entire cast (save the cheerleader save the world) OK I’m half a dork, I listen to Kelly Clarkson too, I know, pathetic.

So if you got nothing better to do and want to take on the dorks of downtown with me, give me a call. I can be found sneaking into the press area . . .

Here are some photos from previous years, enjoy.

vaya con dios

jolie (is she crazier now or before, hard for me to tell)

Puerto Vallarta

My brother got married in puerto vallarta last sunday. Here are some photos of our vacation and the wedding. We had hot and humid weather, bug bites, and a crocodile who lives right outside the condo we were staying in. On the plus time I got to spend a week with my whole family, swam with dolphins, got to be in my brothers’s wedding which was at the coolest site ever, and have finally gone from no girls besides my mom in the family to 3 girls in the family! Oh Mexico . . .
