| Super No. 1 2008 - Rebirth |
For the first few months of this year, I've been calling this year my "retirement tour." For the past few years, I've been
gradually losing interest in cosplay photography. My photo output at conventions and cosplay related events had been
diminishing and I just didn't have the enthusiasm for it that I once had. So, last winter I decided that this would be my
last year to attend a lot of events where cosplay photography was my main activity. This would mean that after this year,
the only cosplay photos that I would be taking would be at conventions where I do press-related work or cultural events
where people cosplay. It was a tough decision to make, but I felt that it was time. Meanwhile, my entertainment related
photography was going well and there was still a lot for me to accomplish in that field.
The year started at Anime LA, where I took more cosplay photographs in one convention than in the past 2 years. Then
came a series of smaller events ending with the Spring SoCal Gathering. Along the way, I made some new friends, took
a few photographs, and discovered what a wonderful cosplay and anime community we have in Southern California. It's
awesome to be a part of it. During the course of this year, I have started to love cosplay photography again. I thank all of
the wonderful people that I have spent time with during the year for helping me see this. Even if it were just a brief
moment, it was meaningful. Therefore, I have decided not to retire from cosplay photography. If you see "retirement
tour" mentioned in any of my reports for this year, just ignore it. I still have many years of cosplay photography still left in
me. So, keep watching this website for more cosplay photos as well as some new and exciting projects that I have
planned. As always, thank you for your support.
