This journal is so late;; Hope everyone's been having a great summer so far~!! This year at Fanime I had a total of 15 shoots over 3 days, it was crazy and fun and lots of awesome. There are parks and really nice hotels within a comfortable walking distance of San Jose Convention Center. Since they're "con hotels" too, the staff are already accustomed to cosplayers roaming around by the time shoots are set up.. I haven't gotten kicked out of a Fanime location yet!

This year I will be doing photoshoots again, but photos will not be processed until early June/ AFTER FANIME happens. I'm putting all

2010 was a fantastic year for me~ I met so many wonderful people from all over the world (though mostly from California ^^) through cosplay photography; I'm normally a very shy person so it was a huge step out of my comfort zone. I put together a short video of my cosplay photography from this year: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SnZX-3AiBiY It doesn't feature everyone, but it's got at least one shot from a majority of the photoshoots from 2010. Most of these cosplayers have DA accounts and are fairly active in the community here, so you may have seen some of the photos around before~ I think seeing them all in one place helps you visually
