Cosplay Photography & Other Geeky Interests
DMJ Photography blog page. I will post convention reports, cosplay photography, announcements, random thoughts, and other geeky things here.
I only recently realized that I still haven’t done a convention report for Katsucon in the post-COVID era. Maybe there’s a reason for that. People have different ways to enjoy themselves at a convention and at the end of the day a convention is what you make of it. However, there is definitely a feeling that Katsucon simply isn’t what it used to be.
Read MoreThe 25th Katsucon anime convention took place last weekend from February 15-17, 2019 in National Harbor, MD. This marks the first year that Katsucon has implemented a “Closed Profile” policy which restricts access to the Gaylord National Hotel and Convention Center only to paid hotel guests and con goers with a membership badge. This new policy was definitely a hot topic of debate in the months leading up to Katsucon and surely will still be subjected to heated discussions in the following weeks.
Read MoreThe 24th annual Katsucon anime convention was held last weekend from February 16-18, 2018 in National Harbor, MD. Unofficially they may have surpassed the 20,000+ attendee mark for the first time, but of course we won't know until the official numbers are released. Even if they didn't reach that milestone, the halls were definitely more crowded this year compared to last year, and that's certainly a healthy sign for what has become the premiere anime con in the DMV region.
Read MoreThe Katsucon 2017 anime convention was held this past weekend from February 17-19, 2017 at the Gaylord National Resort and Convention Center in National Harbor, MD. Katsucon was just as good as past years and once again reminds everyone why it's the premier convention for cosplay. The amount of cosplayers strutting their stuff was staggering and the quality and creativity continues to be mind-blowing. There's no question in my mind that Katsucon has firmly supplanted Otakon as the must go-to convention in this region, especially when cosplay is concerned.
Read MoreAnother year, another Katsucon anime convention. It's back and it's bigger and better than ever. Except, this year will forever be remembered for the Fire Alarm Evacuation that upended the festivities and leaving people stranded in sub-freezing and windy weather. It wasn't all bad though and many positive things happened to make this a memorable experience. If Otakon was able to survive the Fire of 2010, then I'm sure that Katsucon will survive the Freezing Fire of 2016.
Read MoreSince it's been almost three weeks since Katsucon ended (and I have extreme short-term memory) this post will be short and sweet. So I attended my fourth Katsucon anime convention from February 13-15, 2015 held at the National Harbor in Maryland. As usually I had a great time but things didn't start off too smoothly.
