| Super No. 1 2008 - The Retirement Tour |
Last year was a very pivotal year for me. For several years, I have been gradually adding more variety to this website. I
first started posting my photos to the internet in 1999. Back then, I posted photos taken at anime conventions to various
online community photo albums. Eventually, I built my own website and it was still mainly a cosplay photo website. I
always attended various cultural events and live performances and took photos when I could, but it was only a few years
ago when I decided to start including those photos on this website. Over the years, my interest in covering standard
anime conventions lessened and my interest in Asian culture grew. In these past few years, I've attended very few
anime conventions and I've acknowledged the fact that my most productive years of cosplay photography are in the past.
In 2004, I joined the staff of J!-ENT, a major Asian entertainment website and I've been able to photograph concerts and
interviews with Asian celebrities as a member of the press. This has led me down a road that I've always dreamed of
travelling. After much thought, I've decided that this year will be my last year of covering cosplay events--events where
photographing cosplay takes up a majority of my time. This will be the last time that I visit a lot of the smaller
conventions. I want to focus more on Asian culture and entertainment. As for cosplay photography, I've been doing it
since 1998. I've achieved a lot and there's not a lot that I haven't done. It's time for me to move on to bigger and better
things and it's time for the next generation of convention photographers to take the reins.
