Michelle spotted the surly magician at DragonCon 2015. Perhaps he was on a detour before heading to Star City on tonight’s Arrow. I wonder if the CW will let him smoke. ©2015 Garber Geektography.
We’re finally getting around to doing some processing of these! Whew, it’s been a crazy semester. Why don’t you try throwing these together for Saturday night. Don’t worry, you have plenty of time.
Sometimes the best shots aren’t of the parade, but of people walking to the parade. Go Joe!
Stephen Amell’s Green Arrow might meet his match if he gets in the ring with Wrestler Deadpool!
For some reason, the church background just fits for this photo. I believe these are horses and actors from Medieval Times.
Live long and prosper!
Go speed racer!
Maybe it’s too late to throw this one together for Saturday night …
Nice clown car.

When we saw that Gotham was premiering today, we immediately remembered running into this awesome Selina Kyle at DragonCon 2015! We both love the show, and Selina has to be our favorite character (though Harvey Bullock comes in a close second). This cosplayer was so in character when we bumped into her that I made sure to check my camera bags to see if anything was missing. Hold onto your cell phones! Who else is watching tonight?
One of the best things about DragonCon is the chance to see cosplayers go all out for their favorite fandom. We knew the Skyrim cosplayers would not disappoint, so we went to their photoshoot on Friday to grab a few shots. Skyrim is an immersive action role playing game set in a fantasy setting. I have only played the game a little because there is so much to it and the possibilities are endless. For someone as indecisive as me, I find it simultaneously beautiful and overwhelming.
One of the great things about cosplay for such a game is the fact that you can cosplay a NPC (non-player character) with established attributes, or you can play your own character that you build in the game. Again, the possibilities become endless and you can have a great deal of variety without the added pressure of the “did I get it right?” question that plagues those cosplaying established characters. At any rate, these costumes were fun.
If you don’t know how these meet and shoots go, many times they assemble the whole group and then little subgroups of characters. We tend to focus on individual characters, so we practiced our portraiture in taking these shots.
