Jacon 2009 Memories

Photo by TigerFist

I consider this costume and this convention what really set me off on the road to becoming a full fledged cosplayer. Before Cocona, I had not worked so hard to make a costume with my own two hands. I felt the only way to pull off the design right was to take over all aspects of making it (except for the sewing bits, which my grandma did for me...as I still had no clue how to sew).

We had done group cosplays before, and even from the same series. In a way it was the last time we had "innocent" normal fun at an event, after this it was hustle hustle, as we discovered the world of cosplay photoshoots, pantyhose, unwanted + wanted attention and internet drama!

I remember being asked for photos non-stop as soon as we walked in the con.

"Jiraya approves!"

Steampunk was a new thing back then!

I like a lot of these candid shots, and that's why I wanted to share them here.
Do you like professional photos better? Or candid shots like these?
