Week 26 - Hatsune Miku on Flickr.
I was at Anime Expo 2012 this weekend taking photos.
I encountered this Hatsune Miku cosplayer taking photos of the Sakamichi no Apollon group I had encountered two days earlier. She was walking around with a point and shoot camera and what caught my attention was that she was posing the cosplayers in an artistic fashion. For example, she was posing the Apollon group in a fashion similar to the opening credits of the series.
I asked to take some photos of the Apollon group when she finished her session, but I asked her to stick around because I also wanted photos of her and she kindly agreed.
After I finished with the Apollon group, I asked her to do some poses for me and she was a natural! Like a model! I was a bit upset with myself because it was right before I began taking photos of her that the batteries in my flash unit ran out (the first set had run out earlier and I knew I should have purchased more batteries earlier in the week).
When we finished, I asked her about her camera and she told me that she really wants to capture photos like all the other cosplay photographers.
We talked about cosplay and photography for a while. She was such a sweetheart!
In my opinion, she was the most gorgeous cosplayer I saw all weekend! She told me that she had come all the way from Florida for the con.
I think my heart left with her.

Anime Expo 2012 vs The X-Games…???
Someone tweeted this link to an ESPN article titled: Anime Expo, X Games coexist downtown

For those of you in attendance at AX 2012, I want to know what your thoughts and opinion is on these two large events happening at the same time within hundreds of feet from each other. Was the con still enjoyable for you? Were you hassled at all by any of the X-Games attendees or security while walking along the streets? How many of you took advantage of all the free energy drinks they were giving away (I did!)?
For those you that didn’t attend, I would still like to hear your thoughts and opinions!
Leave your thoughts here and in the Ani.Me Forums
So how was everyone’s Anime Expo 2012??

We’d like to know!!
