My Senior Project kind of ate my soul this semester, hence why I haven’t blogged in forever (but I got an A, so its all okay!). The photo book came out AWESOME! I’m going to be putting it public on Blurb (the site I made it through) so people can buy it, if the people I know that are in the book are interested. I have to make some minor tweaks, because some images didn’t come out as well as they looked on my computer. If I get good interest, I may offer to make books like this for people that I shoot at cons this summer.
So since my last post, I’ve been to three conventions – Katsucon in February, I-Con in March, and Anime Boston in April. Katsucon was during a hectic week for me – I was at the con all weekend, then covering the Westminster Dog Show the Monday & Tuesday after the con for my school’s paper, came back to campus that Wednesday and had to do homework and do my article, then had the first half of my Senior Project due that Friday (which was supposed to be that Wednesday, but I got an extension because there was NO WAY IN HELL I was getting it done by then).
The hotel where the convention was held was GORGEOUS! There was this pretty indoor gazebo in this open area, and a leafy area with fountains downstairs. My crew got there later than expected due to traffic, but I was still able to catch part of the Fushigi Yuugi photoshoot. I was so pumped for it – Fushigi Yuugi was the first series I ever cosplayed from, and I haven’t seen any cosplayers/photoshoots from it in years. So when I saw people were planning a shoot, I dug out Amiboshi from my basement – since he was the least beat up of the four costumes ^^. (Okay, I’m trying to upload pictures to this post, but WordPress is being a FAIL. I’ll try to fix this later).
I was in Cosplay Chess as Tifa from Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Unlike at most cons, Chess there wasn’t a Main Event, but was fan-organized and held not on a big stage. Still was fun though – I got to beat some dude from some series I don’t remember lol, then Ryu from Street Fighter, but I eventually got beat by Death the Kid from Soul Eater.
This was the first con I got to try out the portrait lens I got for Christmas, and I LOVE LOVE LOVE it =D. Katsucon was the first con in a while where I was really impressed by a bunch of costumes. I also met some cool people and got a few interviews done for my project. The Masquerade was also pretty hilarious, and one of my Hetalia friends ended up winning a few awards =D. One of the judges was wearing an awesome Codex costume – I hope mine comes out that good this summer ^^. There was a Pokemon photoshoot after the Masquerade – which was pretty small, especially compared to the insanity that was the shoot at Otakon last summer lol. Ends up the Lt. Surge that was at Zenkaikon was there (he did not tease me this time, as I was Jolteon ^^), and the awesome quadruped Suicune girl that I see at Otakon every year – she had won an award in the Hall Costume Contest ^^.
Sunday was short, but fun because my boyfriend and I were Dr. Horrible and Penny – and we ran into a female Captain Hammer.
Tomorrow, I’ll post about I-Con and Anime Boston. Promise!
