This spring we took a little trip down to one of our favorite Comic Conventions C2E2 it is based in Chicago and this year they celebrated their 10th anniversary. It’s always great fun and for a photographer like myself it’s a great way to tickle our fun side and remind me why we stayed in photography in the first place.
The people that go to these events and who dress up put so much time into their costumes and create beautiful works of art. It’s always a joy to see what someone can come up with for a costume. it may not be popular to you or I but to that cosplayer it means the world to have someone notice they are dressed up as Mal from Firefly (YES, it did deserve more that one season) or Sonoshee from Redline.
This year Vagabond Photography for at least one day will be walking around the first Wisconsin Comic Convention, it something new and even though I am not there in any official capacity and I look forward to seeing what the cosplayers of Milwaukee and the surrounding area can come up with. I hope those convention goes over well even though it is competing with Summerfest’s opening weekend. I also look forward to finding some new comic books by independent writers.
My other goal for going to this event is also to find some local cosplayers who would like to do some photo sessions over the next few months involving their characters and trying to fit them into scenes that fit their persona. Even though I am located just outside Milwaukee in East Troy WI about 35 minutes from down town Milwaukee, I work in town regularly and would enjoy the chance to create something new that both parties involved would love. Can’t wait to meet you and see what we can create together.
