So Stan Lee's Comic Con, formerly known and will continue to be known as Comikaze by us, has ended and it was fun to see your everyday bat, spidey and superheroes come out on Halloween weekend. The three day event is now officially recognized by the city of LA, thanks to the creator and mastermind Stan Lee. This convention, along a few other successful conventions, are well known within Southern California and one of the most visited. It is no Anime Expo, but where Anime Expo fails to deliver, this con makes up for it. The first and most important reason is that this is still a small con and feels homey. Los Angeles finally has something that may soon rival that of San Diego Comic Con, howev
I have always shot with Karli and her amazing cosplays whenever there is a chance, but I have always wanted to have a photo-shoot with Karli as Karli. Blizzcon was this past week and all that was planned was to hang out and take a few photos of anything that caught my eye.

Hopefully next year I actually get to go in and check out the place, but if you are a photographer and want to take some great shots this is the place to go. I did not really know what to expect but each persons cosplay was on point. You could see the detail and craftsmanship that
So a few weeks ago I shot with Sandra, someone who I have not seen for quite some time since High School. I honestly wanted to try some new things and I saw her post a photo one day and was like why not I randomly asked her to shoot with me one day and after sending her the message I was like "what did I just do". However, soon after I started getting excited and looking forward to doing a shoot with her and catching up a bit.

During this shoot I realized how much I need an auto-focusing lens and and that shooting manual was not
