Dang I thought I had a lot more pictures of me in this costume.
I guess not haha. The first one is one of my favourite shots... the result exceeded my expectation.

The shoot was suppose to be for my first Cosplay for a cause calendar, and Original it was suppose to be shot by a photographer #1 I worked with a lot, but he bailed on me at the last moment (Should have been my first sign he was not a great person.. but at the time, I understood it happens) . A friend (Photographer #2) was kind enough to step in and shoot it. but within 5 minutes of us starting to shoot at the stairs of a parking deck, security came by. Said we needed to pay $5000, to shoot there and also weren't allowed for safety reasons. Of course the whole time we are having this conversation, people are jogging up and down the stairs we are standing on.

Luckily We had some clean plates to use as the background, and we had had one of my Tachikoma toys mounted on a green screen board and have shot it in the background, we had less than 5 shots of me actually being there though.

We headed back to the photographer #2's place and he was able to get most of the other elements he needed to composite this shot.

Going to try to do you AMA through the LENS function tomorrow. I've been fighting with my laser cutter and printer.

Also Masks should be arriving, if there are any issues (I know someone who ordered MHA is getting a digimon) please contact me and we can work it out. Don't take it out of the bag.
