I really only get to go to 1 or 2 cons a year now so the #Blizzcon hype is so real right now! Check out some of these photos and stay tuned for the 2016 iteration in a few weeks :)

Eyyyy congrats to Oshley Cosplay for her win at the #TwitchCon cosplay contest -- Best Armor!

Looking forward to seeing her and all you at Blizzcon next month :) My microbiology Board exam is the same morning, so I'm going to be the happiest MFer there that day! #Blizzcon

Hey everyone, question for my followers who are cosplay fans. Where besides Facebook do you typically go to see cosplay photos?

It's becoming more and more apparent that Facebook only really caters to Pages that are trying to sell things or promote a business. They treat every post like an assumed ad and prevent most of your followers from seeing it unless you buy a Boost. Instagram used to be great, but they've started going down that route as well ("curated" feeds).

I love what I do and I'm happy to share my photos with anyone who will see them, but it can be very discouraging to work so hard on something and then have a business model decide that 4500 out of 6000 people won't see it, almost arbitrarily.

Here's my full Otakon album -- remember to share with people who you think would like it!

Real talk though, Facebook, you're garbage. Why would my album get split into 3 different posts (so you only see part of the album if you click it), none of which I can pin to the top because it's bugged out? Baffling.

My favorite kind of shot has always been the candid! I used to shoot weddings and I found the best, most memorable photos were always ones that captured a genuine moment rather than a posed one. Humans are notoriously bad at "acting natural" -- we have many muscles of facial expression that we use without thinking when being candid, but are incredibly difficult to consciously control and contort.

I'm still working on focusing down my #Otakon list but this candid I got of Byndo Gehk caught my eye. Hopefully I'll have the album done some time next week!

Finally back from Otakon! Albums will be slower than in years past because of my work backlog but here are some previews of shots I took this weekend. Can't wait to show you them all!

It's that time of year again -- OTAKON!

Remember to Share if you think your friends would like my photos too :) A lot of blood, sweat, and tears (actually, just a ton of sweat) went into getting these shots!

Special shoutout to Jill from Squidbot Cosplay for getting me a badge this year!

I was at premiere of the Warcraft movie in Hollywood today! Unfortunately I didn't get to take many photos since we got corralled into an enclosed area, but here's a favorite of mine from tonight :)
