Sometimes it’s better to experience life without a camera with you at big events!Ĭheck the full gallery below for more DragonCon photos!ĪWA (Anime Weekend Atlanta) – September 26th – 28th 2014ĪWA a.k.a. I spent most of that time with friends and without my camera. The fact that I can do that AND enjoy photography and cosplay makes it even better!ĭragonCon is a 4 (5-6-7?) day convention, but I didn’t get as many shots as I would normally do at a normal 3 day convention. I could spend hours hanging out at this aquarium. The great thing about DragonCon is that the whole city seems to embrace the convention! One of my favorite things to do is to go to the Georgia Aquarium for their late night DragonCon event! Not only do they hold their own party, but they also run their own costume contest! Not to mention that they allow photographers to take advantage of the beautiful sights. One such group I got a chance to take photos of was this amazing NoFlutter Sailor Moon group! I love the look of these costumes and I really wish I had the space to shoot them in properly, but the shots I got will have to do! :] Rightfully so, since there isn’t much shooting space in the convention area! The sessions I do take for this convention, I take them if I don’t cross paths with them at other conventions.

So here it goes, we’ve got a lot to catch up on! :]ĭragonCon – August 30th – September 1 st 2014 There’s just such a positive and glowing atmosphere and these events. DragonCon and AWA are about 4 months past at this point and I just got through the photos for those events! I love Atlanta conventions for some reason. Between the weddings and the moving and getting settled I seem to have neglected my blog. Happy New Year! It has been a long long time since my last post. ![]()
