Katsucon 2013: day 1 – so many cosplayers!

I want to show all of the pictures I took of all the fantastic cosplayers, but there are soooo many, and I am soooo tired…

Here are some, just to whet your appetite, I’ll be cleaning up and reorganizing these and all the others (ALL the others!) as soon as I catch up on sleep.

Enjoy!

An impossible mission…

I’m talking about how impossible it is to not like this collaboration between ‘The Piano Guys” and Lindsey Stirling, performing their own version of the “Mission Impossible” theme.

Dance like you just don’t care…

At the DC Sakura Matsuri in 2011, I happened to catch this couple as they danced to the music of a band playing at one of the music bandstands in the plaza of the Reagan building. They had obviously been dancing together for quite a while, and they were having so much fun that I had to catch a few shots of them. I’m hoping the Matsuri this year goes well, and I really hope I can catch some good views of the cherry blossoms down at the Tidal Basin.

“Hazy Shade of Winter”

One of my favorite songs by Simon and Garfunkel, later performed in the 80’s by The Bangles for one of those “Brat Pack” movies, which I never saw (being too old to appreciate the subject matter).
