As many of you are already aware, this weekend I attended the
Fanboy Expo Tampa here at the Hilton downtown.
UNLIKE my usual attendance to these events, though, I wasn't working in any capacity whatsoever, whether as crowd control, photography, or as companion/gopher to the Celebrity guests, but this time just went as a fan. And, since a few of the people I've been lucky enough to meet through Cons in the past few years are amongst the best in Cosplay, I thought I'd try my hand at it.
Since Jewel Staite and Sean Maher were the featured guests, I decided to go as Jayne Cobb, the Hero of Canton. As you will see below....I wasn't the only one! (Although I was the tallest)
Shiny. Let's be bad guys. Anyone remember the grenades??
There were quite a few of us in Firefly gear, and an improptu group Browncoats shot was arranged:
Loved this group shot so much I'm posting it from both photographers I met at Fanboy Expo,
Travis Kirk and
Justin Rentz. Which reminds me......Gents, I need to order 11x17s of these from each of you!!!!
The "Official" photo with Sean and Jewel
The rest of these from Fanboy Expo are from MY camera ;)
I always seem to find a Shindig Kaylee whenever Jewel is around....takes some talent to make that frilly "Layer cake" dress!!
Got to meet another of the amazing Cosplayers on the circuit, and tell me that this Wonder Woman isn't pretty much perfect!
At one point in the afternoon, Jewel and Sean went out to good off with a couple of the R2 units at the convention. I fired off three or four quick shots as they started to get mobbed by photographers, and of those, I loved this shot the best, and, apparently they did too, since it showed up on both of their twitter and instagrams!!
I hope you all enjoy the pictures half as much as I did the event itself!!!
Also, if you could take a minute out of your day, one of our Con family needs help. See below:
