Should we start figuring out meetup location now? :U

How about Director Park as the meeting spot? (SW 9th & SW Taylor) Most people probably already know where it is, and the large covered area will be nice if it rains.

Is it close to a MAX stop at all? That is probably my only form of transportation ORZ

Director park= very close to the hilton

It is 2 blocks away from the MAX stop at Pioneer Square

Yesterday's Vancouver shoot was so much fun, I can't wait for the one on the 23rd. Rain or shine, it will work. We got some great rain shots yesterday.

I'm like 95% sure I'll be wearing Anri to this, I want to get good pics of the costume before I retire it.

Though I am not willing to get my costume/wig wet... orz

Getting rained on will be optional. At least I sure hope so.

Is there a specific place that we are going to meet at? I'm gonna ask my dad this week if I can go, but he'll wanna know where it is...Also, if we move around, do you know about what area it will be?

Yes, we will initially meet at Director Park, which is at SW 9th & SW Taylor, at noon. If you know where Pioneer Square is, Director park is two blocks West of there (go towards Nordstrom and then keep going).

We will be at Director Park from noon to around 1pm, then we will probably walk to other locations after that. Several people have mentioned wanting to go to the Keller Fountain. That is on SW 3rd Ave and SW Clay St.

Oh ok thanks! I know where directors park is. We had a shoot there during k-con. Its so pretty and a great place for pictures.

There is going to be Zombie Walk, and Thrill The World event on the 23. Just wanted to let you all know. Where it is being held is still unknown, but we might be swarmed with zombies if the shoot goes past 3:30-4pm. As far as I can tell, if they ever figure out WHERE the damn thing is going to take place, probably portland, there are going to be hundreds of people in the areas both these events are happening. Last year they did the Thrill The World at the Square.

Might want to update the first page now that we know the location we are starting at.

Yes, Zombie Walk is the same day, also downtown. I went to it last year to take pictures and it was fun. Zombie Walk photo set: http://www.flickr.com/photos/tomgood/sets/72157622536288611/

If it is anything like last year, it will be very crowded and crazy, and we will need to be somewhere else by then, if our shoot is still going on. On the other hand, if we're done by then it might be fun to watch it.

I updated the first page with the time and place. Thanks for the reminder.

I was wondering if there was still room for people to join? If so i'd like to help out

i'd like to model, be a helper and anything else for people. I'll also bring my camera and see what I can learn from it, since i'm not very good at taking photos. XP

Yes, you are welcome to join! Do bring your camera -- part of the purpose for this meet up is to talk about photography and share ideas.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #62 on:** October 17, 2010, 10:38:35 am »

So, my event isn't happening this day anymore so I can go to this ^^

I might be Zombieing it up with Savanah as Kaoru and Hikaru...But we may wait with makeup to get some photos of them before we attack with makeup.

So, just look for the Ouran twins!

Edit~
So, we decided to do casual Halloween outfits for the twins, and then we'll be zombieing it up afterwords for the Z-walk.

Teddy_Bearxx · « **Reply #63 on:** October 17, 2010, 10:49:24 am »

Okay~ So my mom is going to Portland that Day.
I might be coming as BB

eyeluvtygersh · « **Reply #64 on:** October 17, 2010, 03:51:41 pm »

I will be joining everyone as a photographer. But, this will be my first time shooting cosplay, so don't intimidate me too much with your awesome posing; I'll try to keep up

. Fingers crossed for nice weather.

EDIT: All pictures I take at this event shall be free to use by myself and the subject(s). Digital copies, without a watermark, will be given to the subject(s) including any enhanced versions.

Auricle · « **Reply #65 on:** October 17, 2010, 10:26:23 pm »

I'd like to sign up if it's not too late. ' w '

I'd come as a model and an assist if needed. My cosplay will be Revolutionary War America from APH.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #66 on:** October 17, 2010, 10:55:18 pm »

I can, in fact, come to this. I'll also be bringing along two friends who are going to be cosplaying as Vietnam from APH and Mao from Code Geass. They would like to model and assist if needed.

~boogiepop~ · « **Reply #67 on:** October 18, 2010, 09:42:54 am »

Ahhhh, so many people.

I'mma drop out so I don't take up space and time of people. I have things I need to do anyways and I get overwhelmed by large groups.

TurboSaiyanJason · « **Reply #68 on:** October 18, 2010, 01:21:33 pm »

If I'm not at my GF's B-day party in Gresham, I'll be here until the Zombie Walk comes around.

If I do make it, I would be Super Saiyan Goku, maybe battle damaged, and for the walk have a "hole" in my chest and back. An alternate costume would be a zombie pirate warrior, since I'm also probably meeting my Amtgard friends for the walk ourselves.

ironmonkey · « **Reply #69 on:** October 19, 2010, 06:13:26 pm »

Looking forward to seeing you all on Saturday! Especially Dana, who got this all started.

Since this is a lot more people than in my normal photo shoots, I may lose track of who I have pictures of. So if I haven't gotten photos of you, please don't be shy about letting me know.

I went by Director Park today and the leaves are starting to turn on the little trees there, it is cool.

The latest weather report that I saw says 61 degrees and 40% chance of rain. I'm hoping for clouds but no rain, or rain earlier in the day that ends by the time we start.

sandrobotticelli · « **Reply #70 on:** October 19, 2010, 07:42:43 pm »

Actually, instead of me and two other friends it's just going to be me and one other friend. So you can take one more person off your list to worry about ;]

nyahaha · « **Reply #71 on:** October 19, 2010, 09:59:07 pm »

I was just convinced to be Kida to this instead of Max :\ I kinda wanted to be Max, but Katie reminded me that she can do a photoshoot anytime with that xD So I will be Kida~

Haha, I didn't mean it like that, I'm not hoping for fewer people or anything. It is great that so many people are coming.

nekovamp13 · « **Reply #73 on:** October 19, 2010, 11:47:29 pm »

Do you have any idea of where we'll end up?

Since a bunch of us will be heading to the Zombie Walk, I think it would make sense to go back to Pioneer or Director Park.

I know Savanah and I will probably be heading back around 3:30 to get ready. Or we might just attack each other with makeup there, so we could still hang with people....Don't know.

I was planning to wind up at Pioneer Square at the end. Then people who want to continue to the Zombie Walk can do that.

Yes, it will probably rain. And of course it's up to you whether or not you want to come if it's raining. But part of Director Park has a roof, and there are some other covered areas around there. It should be possible to get photos without getting too wet.

nyahaha · « **Reply #81 on:** October 23, 2010, 09:42:47 am »

Ok, so we are going to go, because the weather said that its supposed to sprinkle this morning, and then not really rain this afternoon. All the rain is coming this evening around 7pm. So see ya there :D

Thank you so much to everyone, especially those who were patient enough to let me take your picture. I had so much fun at my first cosplay photoshoot. And, I'm sorry if I was too bossy or not helpful enough. I learned so much yesterday, especially from watching you, Tom, so thank you, thank you, THANK YOU to all. I'll be processing a few photos today and posting them. Please let me know if I need to do anything special to these photos, for example: "turn my eye color ______," or "edit out that building in the background," or "can you make this photo look more _______ (dark and dreary, bright and happy, like a comic book, etc.).
