    Another Otakon photo in this Top 200 Photo photo #22 is: This photo was taken on the first time I discovered Otakon in Baltimore.

    Otakon and some familiar faces for this Top 200 Photo photo #49 is: These Soul Eater cosplayers have appeared before on this list and will appear at least once more. I think this photo is unique in showing them from head (or hat) to toe. For the first time, I’ve realized that the woman on…

  • Top 200 Photos: #117

    Back to Otakon for today’s Top 200 Photo. photo #117 is: Confusingly, Lolita fashion has noting to do with the novel by Nabokov about a man falling in love with an underaged girl.

  • Otakon 2010

    Just like last year, I went to Otakon, but didn’t pay to get in.  Perhaps next year.  So, like last year, I mostly photographed people  under the the awning of the convention center.  Unlike last year, I asked lots of people if I could photograph them.  It paid off as I was able to get lots…

  • Otakon 2009

    For the first time since moving here, I found out about Otakon ahead of time. Unfortunately, the economics didn’t work out we didn’t buy tickets.
