. . . "You must be on the right track!"
For those who remember "Where in the World Is Carmen Sandiego?"
"Oh? Can't handle the competition, Carmen?"
"Competition's fine. But I'd rather someone showed me something they were good at - then I'd really learn something, wouldn't I?"
Amid the interminable traffic passing in, through, and out of the world's airports, there's no feasible way to fully understand the plans of each and every passenger. However, there exists an individual who may not be known to the general public, but has since become the scourge of the ACME Detective Agency. Her mastery of international thievery has made her a legend in the ranks of her own organization - V.I.L.E. - and the quivers of fear that her red coat and hat spark have produced a vast spectrum of nicknames such as the "Miss of Misdemeanor" and the "Queen of Crime." As much flattery as she enjoys out of such alternative titles, she much prefers those who fear and hunt her to address her by her name: Carmen Sandiego.
As I prepared myself for a recent out-of-town trip, I considered what kinds of figures I could bring with me to indulge my hobby while I was gone. I certainly have no shortage of small-scale figures, but I wanted to try getting at least one shot while I was at the airport, or on the airplane. With almost comical timing, what figure from my vast arsenal could reveal itself to me than a small Carmen Sandiego figure! My experience with the eponymous series was limited at best, mostly involving the different animated shows that have been released over the years. I think the moment that made me have a new level of appreciation and respect for that mystery/educational series was when I found out that my lead professor, mentor, and now friend, from back in college revealed to me that despite her not liking video games, she absolutely loved the Carmen Sandiego series. She went so far as to credit it with teaching her children about the very same historical figures and places that she taught about for years, which in her words "warranted my respect for something that actually helped people learn." I suppose such praise from her for the series rubbed off on me when I looked into it some more, and now here we are in the present. Nevertheless, Miss Sandiego proved to be a very good model for this shot. Part of me wishes I had done another one when our plane took off, but the rumbling turbulence put a stopper in anything too adventurous.
Happy Halloween from your team at Fotodiox! We wish you all a ghoulish (and safe) celebration this evening. Remember to share your favorite festive photos!

Editing on my laptop in North Carolina - excuse any color/tone imperfections.
I found Carmen Sandiego at a restaurant in Santa Clara. The swiveling LCD back in the Sony RX100 cameras allows surreptitious photography from a waist level.
The lighting was very poor, and I couldn't get any closer to the glass window without raising a lot of eyebrows. So even after maxing out on ISO and aperture, I could only muster a shutter speed of 1/20 sec.
That, plus shooting through a glass pane from a waist level, gave me an image that is anything but razor sharp, but I thought it would be fun uploading it anyway.

Taken at Animatic Con held at the Holiday Inn Eastgate in the Eastgate suburb of Cincinnati, Ohio. From their site: "Animatic Con started in March of 2015 with the idea of delivering to the fandoms across the U.S. a convention that was fun, and had a higher purpose. After much consideration and discussion, we decided that we wanted to help raise funds for Autism . . ."

Emily's Carmen Sandiego jacket was ballooning out in a hilarious way across the top.

Emily's family's big annual Halloween bash was this weekend, and once again, I feel like I've experienced everything about fall that I need to experience now that I've been there. Awesome food, crazy amounts of hot wassail (:D), bonfires, roasted marshmallows, costumes, and of course, the haunted Halloween house. Yaaaaay!
Carmen Sandiego will take you for a ride on a slow boat to China after stealing a famous landmark and hiding out at ConVergence in Bloomington, Minnesota.

I took this picture at Otakon 2006 of Where's Waldo and "Where In The World Is" Carmen SanDiego. They were hanging out together. So if you've ever wondered where they are.. well, now you know.
