It's 2011 - the weather is a-changing to something more reasonable. I'm now gainfully employed again, so have a bit more disposable income to travel, and my Motorhome is back up and running so I'll be able to make longer trips (like I kept promising those of you in Bend but never delivered.)
I consider myself mostly a landscape photographer (because that's where I'm published,) but I LOVE taking pictures of good Cosplay and costumes in general. Those of you who have worked with me know that I'm pretty easy to work with, and take your ideas into account.

I currently work in the Pearl District so will be able to meet up with people downtown. Sunday mornings are usually best for me schedule wise, as are some Saturdays.
Photoshoots usually take about an hour and we get about 100 pictures of which 10% are good portfolio quality.
I also ask that you have an idea of three or four poses that you'd like to do in character. I do attempt to research specific shows before shoots, but can't quite keep up with the breadth of stuff available these days.
