In an earlier post I showed some pictures I took of some kids cosplaying as characters from the videogame Final Fantasy (I have no idea who the characters are, but that’s not important!). Here is a video with clips I took while I was taking stills (it really helps to have a DSLR that can do video!) and some music to highlight the silliness. We all had fun and I hope to see them again at a future anime con!

More Katsucon 2012 cosplayers
Here are some more of the cosplayers I took pictures of at Katsucon 2012 a couple of weeks ago. Some of them didn’t turn out so well, and for that I apologize to anyone that I didn’t capture nicely enough, or if I made your excellent costuming come out looking not as good. Everyone’s creativity and skill was definitely fantastic (in more ways than one ^_^) and I hope you all get to see these!
Thanks to all who allowed me to photograph them, and I hope to see you at the next con!

Katsucon end of con photo shoot
My friend John Nelson let me tag along on his photo shoot with a group of nice kids he’d met at other conventions, and so I snapped a few shots at the same time. Â Here are a few of the best, I’ll be posting some videos to YouTube later, along with other pictures from Katsucon.

Coming soon: Katsucon report!
Just finished up an interesting weekend at Katsucon, one of the local anime conventions in the DC area. Â Took a couple hundred pictures and dozens of short videos, and now I’m trying to sort through them all! Â I’ll be posting a few pages of pictures in my “Things I Made” photography pages, and videos on my Youtube channel, but first: organization!
Happy Nyan Year!
Hope your New Year is a great one, and to start off on a happy note:
Oh, oh, oh! Otamatone!
Oh, Japan, please don’t ever change! Without you, we’d all be less confused, less puzzled, and far less freaked out, so just keep doing what you’re doing!
AnimeUSA 2011 Last day pics
Pictures from the third and last day of AnimeUSA 2011. Kind of a shame, there has been an anime convention in Crystal City since at least 1997, and this will be the last one for the foreseeable future. I went to my first one, Katsucon 4 I think it was, in 1998, and had only missed a couple there after that. Ah, well, the price of growth, they just got too big to be handled in the Hyatt. I don’t think they’ll have as much problem next year, since it looked like this year’s attendance was down. Not as much disposable income lately…
