Howdy, I am Nicki. I am addicted to books and reading. More specifically of the Science Fiction/Fantasy genre. I play computer games because console joysticks mock me.  I play table top games and D&D (3.5 and 4.0). I love conventions and usually end up volunteering for no good reason. For the last couple of years I have been one of the Photography flying monkeys at Phoenix Comicon and love every moment of it. (If you are in the area, totally worth it).  I have an unhealthy attraction to glitter and things that sparkle. I lust after pretty make up, and use the excuse of my dancing to buy it.  I have been a belly dancer for 10 years and just starting picking up burlesque.  I love to take pictures of people and I love taking pin up shots of women.  Women who have no idea how beautiful they are can be some of the most photogenic people to work with.  I am a master at the double stick and fiber (knitting) but the Single hook evades me.  I costume and love the Steampunk look ( I don't care how over played it is), I love the corsetry that goes along with it.
So that is a thing slice of me. So um.  Hello.

Howdy! I have a fascination

Howdy! I have a fascination with taking polaroids of random people I see. That makes me sound kind of like a Ted Bundy fanboy :o !

Naw, using plaroids is old

Naw, using plaroids is old school, I am surprised you can find film anymore. I used to take them myself of the people I worked with. Then they stopped making the black and white film. Bastards.

Polaroid film was really hard

Polaroid film was really hard to find, and expensive, a few years ago, but all of a sudden they were at every camera shop around at a decent price. I loved photography class at college, playing around with different chemicals to get different effects. Any where we could see your photos?

I had to hunt down film for

I had to hunt down film for Lou Ferrigno at a convention a couple years back. It was trying to find a yeti in a blizzard. And there are several places to find my photography, at least my digital stuff, I need to scan my film negatives in. My professional website doesn't have a whole lot on it but you can get a glimpse at http://www.moniquereddy.com/ I badly need to update it.

Not really anything special

Not really anything special :) you just have to be a semi decent photojournalist photographer. I call it gonzo photography. Then ask nicely. I have been on the team for Phoenix Comicon since they started it. It is awesome to be able to see the guests up close and personal, but it is a ton of work. I am super short so i usually have to reacquisition a chair to stand on so I can see the stage better. That means a lot of standing up, sitting down, kneeling and crawling. But it is a good time.

You could invest in a pair of attachment stilts, then you'd have the upper hand on almost everyone!

I heard someone say once that LeVar Burton is wicked short, and I've always wondered about that since for some reason.
