Creeping..

It's the weekend - Woooooo!

Last night Ashley had a Zombie Photo shoot that I was part of (as a zombie).  The models seemed to have a lot of fun and have asked for more zombie shoots with her. lol.  Nothing wrong with more people wanting to be zombies!

I'm sure she'll post results from her shoot eventually.  ;)

Tonight I am photographing at Wet Nightclub for an Animal Fundraiser event.  People who dress in animal print are eligible for prizes and stuff.  Should be fun!

I'll be doing my best to post a new photo up on the blog everyday.  It's vbery hard for me to find time to do much, and editing is very time consuming.  But just keep checking back, or subscribe to the feed so you know when the blog is updated.

Scotty McPilgrim and the Adventures of Captain Kumori the Con

So Oregon's largest Anime convention, KumoriCon in Portland, Oregon was a huge let down for me. First things first, even though I have had press badges, which allow me access to the events in areas the normal con-goers were typically not allowed to go (such as the front of the stage during main events) for prime photo opportunities, the KumoriCon staff was adamant about not giving me one this year.  Why? Who knows?! You would think that with such a bad rap from last years convention in such a bad con space, they would want as much positive coverage that they could handle...  But no, very, very, very firmly, no.

The reason I was not allowed one was because I did not work for a proper media outlet that reviewed or promoted conventions of that sort.  ...See.. The thing about that is there are no mainstream magazines that review anime/cosplay conventions... Same goes for websites.  The primary source of cosplay and anime conventions are usually sites that show off the costumes and photography from a particular con.  I can't think of anybody who says, "hey, lets go read a review of this convention to decide if it is good or not!"

But hey, whatever.  Their loss I suppose.

I don't think I will be going to KumoriCon next year.. If I do it will be just for my friends and only for photos.  Ugh, what a let down.

I did have a BLAST with my friends I stayed with and all the cosplayers I met up with.  Here are some photos from some photo shoots I did with my homies:

Zombies

Well, it's almost October, and for a lot of us out there, it's getting closer to the best holiday of the year; Halloween!

I was asked by my bosses at my work (Redrock Italian Eatery) to take the photos this year to advertise for their annual Halloween Party poster. It's been a while since I've gotten to work on a little project, rather than just casual photos, and in particular the theme is zombies, so what could be better? I plan on taking them at the Eastwood Cemetery over by Bear Creek Park in Medford. I have a lovely group of people (5 of them) who will be my temporary army of the undead. I am looking forward to it, and I really hope I can delivery my work with some great photos.

The shoot is taking place this Friday, around 5 or 6pm.

KumoriCon was fun!
