More magical morning light downtown.

Photos of 2018 Comic-Con from 40 floors up!

This is what 2018 San Diego Comic-Con looks like from 40 floors up! Without crowds–yet!

I took these photos from the top of the Manchester Grand Hyatt today at three o’clock, as people were just beginning to converge on the San Diego Convention Center for Preview Night. The various offsites, some of which are visible, open tomorrow.

Take photos of Comic-Con from high above the city the next four days and the streets will be jammed with people!
