Cosplayers Take Over Atlanta At Dragon*Con 2012
12 Comments

Some of you might have been unaware that while PAX Prime was going on, there was another — somewhat different — kind of convention in full swing in Atlanta.  Dragon*Con is a long running multi-genre “fandom” convention and every year they play host to an insane amount of cosplayers, both professional and amateur.

In fact, in 2002 they decided to take over the streets by adding a cosplay parade as one of their main events.

    Mike, this is Yaya’s job. She gets paid by cons to show up and judge cosplay contests and has her own line of cosplay gear.

    The interaction between Q and MikeB is one I look forward to each week.  Another peek at MikeB the photographer.

      I’ve had one other friend that was super-knowledgeable about photography.  And it always amazes me how much work goes into something there people are always just like.  ”You just take a camera and point it and snap… How hard can it be?” Very… Very hard.

        Would have to guess, but the video gives a glimpse in into MikeB’s banter with his models.  Fun, makes them feel special without the creepiness.

          Yeah… To be a good photographer of female models, you definitely can’t make them feel uncomfortable.

    These people creep me out, kind of like clowns do.
