Cosplay at NTU

Here it is, my first post on this blog.

Saturday saw the sunniest day in sometime here in Taipei. Not ideal weather to be out shooting midday, but a fun event was underway, so I did get out. Bad light, but nice weather.

David, Todd, Craig, Selina and myself met up at NT and took in the scene.

I have to be completely honest in saying that I am a complete fish out of water when it comes to the comic scene. I barely know the classics such as Spiderman or the Hulk, let alone what is popular in Asia now. Not knowing anything didn’t stop me from completely enjoying the scene and appreciating the efforts and imagination that were put into dressing the way these folks did.

A fun day, great weather, a chance to meet new people and catch up with those I have known for a while. All of that more than makes up for the bad light we were fighting (especially me without my flash).

To see more of the photos, please have a look here.
