Last week was Oni-con in Houston, which was awesome and a much needed break from school. While I was there I was lucky enough to have a photo project, portraits, that could be completed at the con. Long story short, I found some really awesome cosplayers, got 4 really great rolls of film developed and presented probably the best project of my college career so far. With this being such a great success and considering how much I enjoyed both taken and printing all the pictures, I’ve decided to attempt to turn this into a much bigger project and hopefully a small scale business venture. From now on I will try and devote the majority of my con attendance to scheduling photo shoots and selling prints back to the cosplayers. So far with this first run, it seems to very successful, with everyone wanting prints, which has pushed me into attempting this at the next con I attend. I really hope that this will work out for me, make some money doing what I love, where I love to be or at least pay off the cost of the trip there. I haven’t really got anything else hashed out yet, but I plan on doing so soon. Until then, here are pictures (bad scanner /sadface).

Louise de la Valliere 100% The next day there’s a note in your locker asking you to be on the school roof after school. You head up there and you see…Louise! She blushes and stammers until you unintentionally let loose a chuckle. She gets angry and you start arguing, and finally she yells, “it’s not like I WANT to like you this much, you– you– you idiot!” Realizing what she just said, she turns beet red. You’re stunned for a moment before softening. You get down on one knee and ask: “Louise, will you go out with me?” |

Yuki Nagato The next day there’s a note in your locker asking you to be on the school roof after school. You head up there and you see…Yuki Nagato. She’s sitting there reading a book, and you have to tap her shoulder before she actually decides to notice that you’re there. Standing, she explains to you that she is an alien robot sent to earth to study humankind. She needs to learn about human dating so as to complete her mission. Will you be of assistance? |

Yoko Littner The next day there’s a note in your locker asking you to be on the school roof after school. You head up there and you see…Yoko! She looks a little nervous and hems and haws, before eventually stopping for a breath. Then she spits it out: she asks you out on a date! You’re a little surprised, but you happily accept and you two make a date to see an action flick. |

Mio Akiyama The next day there’s a note in your locker asking you to be on the school roof after school. You head up there and you see…Mio, along with the rest of the light music club! Before you know it they’re jamming and Mio is singing. You enjoy the performance, and when Mio asks you what you thought of the song, you tell her it was awesome. “So…what do you say, then?” she asks, blushing deeply. That’s when you realize that the song was an attempt to ask you out. Better hope she doesn’t realize you missed it. |

Tanabata Recap August 8, 2009
Last night was the Tanabata party, which ended up being extremely fun and a great way to start off parties in the new apartment. It was a good turn out people wise and just a really chill night hanging out with people I haven’t seen in a long time.
The rest of the photos are here.
BTW, drunk Adam = shaky photos
Blacklight and Figures August 7, 2009
Real quick post, just finished putting my room together and threw in a blacklight for fun. I guess I never noticed it before, but some of the figures react really cool to it.
I’m going to take some time soon to get some cool photos, theres a lot with just the figures I have.
Birfday Kake August 4, 2009
Bit late, but still funny. My mom wanted to get me a cake and ran to Albertsons around 9 P.M., came back with this.
The Wheel of Fate is Turning…. July 31, 2009
2 Decades...damn that sucks
As of 12 am this morning I have officially been alive for 2 decades and it feels grosser and more depressing than anything I have ever experienced. I no longer have the excuse of being a teenager and now all of a sudden, after never acting or regarding myself any older than ~15, have to become responsible and adult-like. This is a feeling I’m not and don’t really want to get used to, but society demands it so I hopefully will grow up.
Well if anything good came from this horrible event is that my awesome friends bought me epic and more EPIC as gifts.
C.C. and Nono
I’ll need my day to get over feeling old and the idea that I’ll have to experience this 20 year time frame 3 more times @_@, but I will play with my new figures plus the ones I got from Mechacon, take some pictures, feel 15 again and move on.
ZSZS, Gunbuster and Mechacon July 22, 2009
Finally got around to watching the second episode of Zan Sayonara Zetsubou Sensei today and am glad to see that its continuing with being funny and not disjointed like Zoku. There was a lot of parody/reference in this episode for some reason, maybe the same as usual, but I just got it this go around. I also started watching Gunbuster after having finally finished Diebuster like a week or so ago and loving it, I wanted to see the original. Its pretty good, but I’m only two episodes in so far. I have to say that watching something made in the 1980s and comparing it to stuff now, it holds up very well, I especially love the typical 80s music. This weekend is Mechacon, so yay, I always have fun there, its not the best, but something about it being in my hometown and what not, its special. I’m hoping to get a lot of good pictures, this being my first con with my new camera and all. A lot of friends are going to be there so I know that it’ll be a blast if anything just to hang out with everyone, probably go to the Bulldog one night, but I’m really looking forward to it, I’ll try and post a couple pictures everyday (cosplay, random stuff, us drunk, whatever).
So to wrap this up here is a couple screen shots from ZSZS that I liked:
-
- He is EVERYWHERE!!
-
- ♥ Traps
-
- Tribute?
-
- I feel like Spencer wrote this just because of #1
Also, over at Figure.fm, Danny Choo is have a figure shoot giveaway for like $1000 or some amount like that, so I gave it a shot in my free time.
First Galleries!!! July 20, 2009
I recently got a “job” (doesn’t pay) taking photos for Red Stick Live of local shows and happenings around Baton Rouge. I really don’t care about the pay since I’m doing it for the experience, but its been really fun just on my first two assignments, Dirty Projectors & The Givers at Chealsea’s and Bablecon Sci-fi convention.
Have my first two galleries of the Drity Projector & The Givers show on the site.
You can see all the photos on my Flickr account.
Needless to say, I’m extremely excited that I’m getting to do this, its more or less a dream come true. So I plan on continuing with this gig a long as possible.
Also, big things in the future…hopefully.
Kannagi!!! July 16, 2009
