She was there the night the wall came down
She faded into that newborn crowd
Like a warning of what could be lost
Through the perforated night she ran
Her fingers slipping from his hand

Bioshock Infinite Elizabeth shoot, May 5th, 2013

Bioshock Infinite is a true masterpiece. I’ve had my eyes on doing a shoot set in this world since the E3 2011 demo went online. It wasn’t until a few short weeks ago I came across Aicosu and Sheila’s spot on portrayel of Elizabeth that I realized a shoot in this world was possible. Faneuil Hall was her idea. Can’t believe I didn’t think about going to Boston from the beginning. Boston architectural IS Columbia. It’s the perfect backdrop for bringing the game world to life. It also helped that it was Sheila’s first time in the areas we went to so in retrospect she really was Elizabeth that day taking in her new surroundings with wonderment and excitement. 

Huge thanks to Sheila of Aicosu for coming to Boston for a shoot and being one of the best people I’ve had the chance to shoot with yet. You were awesome. And huge thank you to Ger Tysk of Chou-wa Photography and Cosplay for joining us and getting some shots of her own which I can’t wait to see. 

More images will be uploaded in the coming days. And you better believe I want to explore Columbia more. I have a huge amount of ideas I want to make happen. This is just the tip of the iceberg.

Ahh! some of Nate’s shots from our Bioshock shoot, 2 weeks ago. You can see me in the window in one of the photos XD

I’m still working on mine…they won’t be up for a while cause I am totally backlogged from Anime Matsuri -_-

Ok guys, time to vent a little.

I’m getting terribly sick of the attitudes of some of those who compete in Masquerades (cosplay contests) at conventions. 

So here’s my thoughts on why you’re REALLY losing when you go into a competition with a bad attitude.

I never post on Tumblr, so I’m hoping my few followers can help me get this word out by reblogging…

I work for a hotel that hosts a major US con every year. I love anime and I go to cons myself, but I am going to be blunt about some of the problems we have and how we deal with them. I don’t…

aicosu:

I know you all are probably sick of my Elizabeth cosplay by now, but I just wanted to share the preview pictures of my photoshoot in Boston this past weekend. Thanks so much to Chou-Wa and IndieNate for the really fun day and the amazing shots! 

Some previews from my shoot with Sheila and Nate on Sunday. It was a gorgeous (if somewhat chilly) day and we got to crash the Boston Public Library :D

(first 2 photos are mine, last one is Nate’s)

Always, somewhere,
someone is fighting for you.
As long as you remember her,
you are not alone.
