I come before you tonight to admit … I’m letting you down.

While I used to snap hundreds of photos at each science fiction convention I’d attend, now I rarely crack two dozen. Case in point, the recent Chicon7. Though I did have Charlie Jane Anders snap this pic of me and Eileen Gunn aboard the Random House cruise of Lake Michigan. (After which I had Eileen snap a pic of me and Charlie Jane as well.)

Why have I slacked off? Why am I no longer as intent on capturing my friends with pixels?

I can’t be certain, but I’m thinking I may have Twitter to blame, since that’s now the main way I seem to be reporting on cons these days.

It’s far too ephemeral, though, so I’m going to try to remember to do both next time around. Check back during and after the World Fantasy Convention in Toronto and find out if I stayed true to my word.

In any case, head over to Flickr if you want to see what few pics I did manage to snap.
