So my anime fan buddy (read: huge nerd) had been egging me to go to this thing for years. Since I finally acquired an SLR camera, I figured this would be a great opportunity to learn about taking portrait and group shots.
We headed up to the LA Convention Center on Friday, July 3rd. I had seen pics of past AXs before, but overall really didn't know what to expect.
I have to say that it was pretty fun. I'd never dress up myself, but the costumes were pretty sweet. I like the accuracy and passion that some of these people put into their cosplays.
I saw the Capcom booth (didn't play the games) but there was a lot of Street Fighter hullabaloo. I also managed to get the Street Fighter gathering that afternoon with everyone there. Great stuff.
Here are a few of my shots. The rest are in my photo gallery under Anime Expo 2009.







Good stuff. I might actually go back next year.
