Pie... you rock.
Can we convince you and your digital camera to help with the the Hall Cosplay Contest next year?
Just as a photographer mind you, not as the organizer.
All you'd need to do is upload your photos to a computer each night and give your opinion of the best cosplayers. I'm writing up the guidelines for whoever runs it next year and having a photographer on board will help immensely. Especially a photographer who takes good pictures with proper lighting as opposed to me, who was snapping photos in the depths of the exhibitor's hall.
