My Bio
I am a cosplay photographer. I like taking pictures of cosplayers because they are passionate about what they do and can put an enormous amount of time and effort into their costume and props.

My style is best summed up in this quote, "Every New Year’s day my extended family would gather and we would eat one special spoonful of caviar. I want my photographic style to be like caviar – it’s not something everyone likes, but those who like it are committed beyond means.” - Oddur from People Pictures: 30 Exercises for Creating Authentic Photographs by Chris Orwig.

Just venting...I'm usually the guy smiling ear to ear and positive, but I need to get this out to make it real and move on to the acceptance phase. As cliche as it sounds,  "Carpe diem" is my life motto as well as "Destiny is not a matter of chance; but a matter of choice. It is not a thing to be waited for, It is a thing to be achieved." - William Jennings Bryan. Basically, I grab life by the horns and through effort and will; I make things happen and I create opportunities. While I never need a reminder that this is how I live my life.

Well I feel rather refreshed now that I have been chillin' in Chi-town the last few weeks. I thought I was just going to go to ALA and just shoot when I felt like it.

Between that and talking to a few people I worked with a little at PMX, I now have approximately 12 to 13 shoots planned.  I must be crazy, well more like a controlled excited crazy. I've got some new gear to test out (from Santa) and some new techniques to try out so it should be a fun and educational experience. Too bad my Friday is all booked up, 'casue I wanted to check out the speed dati

"Go big or go home. Because it's true. What do you have to lose?" - Eliza Dushku This is one of the motto's I live by. It's hard to believe it's a little under a year since I started photography, let alone, cosplay photography. My first shoot was with ~Zokushou (https://www.deviantart.com/zokushou) and :iconwaterpuzzle: at SacAnime in January of this year. I've taken a lot of pictures this year, but I've also made a whole lot of mistakes! I worked with this photographer who said he got to where he was in his career by shooting, shooting and more shooting. He reminded me that he has taken probably over a 100,000 pictures and that amounts to 999,900 mistakes! So he was reall
