This entry is part of 12 Moments in Anime 2010.
#5 is my Yaoi-Con recap, part 1. I thought that I should finally cover my favorite anime and manga weekend of the 2010 year by writing about Yaoi-Con on New Years Day! (What better way to start the new year, right?) Anyway, it was such a great trip (and I have so many pictures!) that I’m splitting into two days.
I took a ton of pictures, but since I’m not even close to anything remotely resembling a photographer, most of what’s developed is either blurry, awkward, or both. (Thank gods for digital film, though!) And, I always felt anxious asking people for their photographs (even though most were cosplaying for that very reason) so I have mostly panning shots and photos of cosplayers posing for other cameras. -_- /sigh
BUT! What’s done is done, and I do have some decent pictures from my first Yaoi-Con, which also happened to be the tenth anniversary. Below are a few I really like (click for larger); or you can see all the good ones here, including the ones below.
A Duo Maxwell cosplayer (easily my favorite cosplayer the entire weekend) and
the Yaoi-Con 2010 banner, unveiled at Opening Ceremonies
“Gay relationships in ancient Japan” Panel and
Cosplayers outside the Grand Peninsula Ballroom
One shot of Artists’ Alley and
Cosplayers as Sailors Mercury, Venus, Jupiter, Moon, and Neptune from Sailor Moon
(Just a part of) the Manga Library and
America singing the National Anthem at Closing Ceremonies
Read about the rest of my trip in part 2 tomorrow!
