More Otakon 2012 updates coming soon…

Well, the notorious “con-crud” or “con-grunge” or “con-fluenza” has laid me out for a bit, so the reports on Otakon 2012 Day 2 and Day 3 will be posted later this week.  32,000+ people all in the same space breathing each others’ air, often having to nearly yell to make myself heard, plus braying 70’s pop music at the top of my lungs in a singalong with others at the “Evangelion” fan parody showing, all part of the recipe for microbial hijinks.  Oh, and sleep deprivation to boot.

Here are some pictures from Saturday and Sunday, to make up for lack of full updates:

Some video silliness at Katsucon 2012

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.  Here are a few of the best, I’ll be posting some videos to YouTube later, along with other pictures from Katsucon.
