I didn't forget about the photoblog, I just haven't been taking and processing many. This weekend I've forced myself to go through a lot of photos of me and a lot I've taken. So here's a big batch from Amanda's surprise bridal shower! We threw it for her at Dragoncon 2008 and it was a lot of fun.
Here's a collection of photos that we took of ourselves during Anime Boston. Our friend Lionel also took some stunning pictures of us, but I'm reserving that for its proper place on our cosplay website. You'll note the quality of these is pretty bad due to low lighting and inexperience with the camera.
Here are some attempts at pairing shots. Most of these involved me making the girls burst into laughter every five seconds.
This next set was taken with everyone wearing their sleep clothes from Princess Tutu. We were also slightly inebriated having celebrating winning an award with our Magical Play costumes earlier in the night:
Finally, I had the pleasure of meeting AstroBright, a superstar of the Tutu AMV community. (Very big fan of her work O_O) She and a friend were dressed as Princess Tutu characters so I took a little bit of time to get some shots of them.
You can watch her AMVS here, btw:

Finally, here are the rest of the Witch Hunter Robin pictures! Sorry to make you wait so long Allison!
I am very proud of these pictures, to me this was the moment when I knew I could really do something with the camera, and since the character was really important to Allison I was happy to do something that would really please her
Here are the entries that I submitted to the contest! I was incredibly nervous about this whole experience, but I managed to win in a few categories! I can honestly say this is one of my happiest moments from the convention; I really wasn't sure that I could win anything. I'm still fairly new to photography in general so I don't know if I take pictures that other people enjoy; only that I enjoy them.
I decided to leave detailed description on the individual pictures rather than in this entry; that way you can read about a picture while you are actually looking at it on a fairly big scale.
Best Theme: #10
Best Black and White: #4
Best Composition: #5
Allison's amazing Phedre costume was featured on Jacqueline Carey's website. You know, the AUTHOR of Kushiel's Legacy?! What greater honor could there be!?
The picture was taken by Lionel Lum. Both of them should be very proud!
"Lots of fun stuff from my wonderfully creative readers this month. I've posted a couple of choice items here on the homepage. Thanks to Allison for the awesome photos of the Ph�dre-as-Mara costume she created and wore at Dragon*Con and AWA 2006! It was hard to pick just one. I might post another on a slow month; the "Ph�dre goes window shopping" shot was awfully fun." -quote from the page
I just entered the JACON contest with some of my favorite pictures taken this spring, but they have strict rules that you can't post any entry publicly. So I thought I'd show you a few of the pictures I processed anyways even though they didn't make it into the top 12. (These pictures are huge, btw.)
It was VERY hard to decide against this photo but I had another one I liked better with almost the same expression and I didn't want to oversaturate the group with Robin photos.
There's not really anything wrong with the picture, I just liked some others better. Also I was afraid perhaps I'm the only one who is so fond of it. =D
I like the way it came out, it's a very interesting photo to me. But not exactly contest worthy perhaps?
Another picture that amused me greatly: royal reading material!
I loved this cosplayer, she was truly amazing. And kind enough to let me take this picture of her.
I think maybe this is another case of a photo that really appeals to me but maybe not many other people. Also I didn't know her name when I sent out the entry, and that seemed kind of rude...

My goodness, will the pictures ever end? @_@ I've totally spent the last three days resizing. But at least it's fun.
Here is the first batch of pictures with Allison portraying Witch Hunter Robin. I'm warning you, she's so hot you might get burnt! ;D (lame puns are fun)
