SOS Cosplay Fun • PNW Cosplay Events • Point Defiance Park • March 22nd, 2025

Cosplayers: @? @mana_creates @burnt_out_kitty @? @koko.kig00 This would be the first @SeattleOpenShoots Cosplay Fun and @pnw_cosplay_events shoot I would do with the combined group this year. Parking was kinda tight, and I had to drive around a few times before I found some parking, but it wasn’t bad and plus to getting to Point defiance Park early also a good idea. A small group of both…

PNW Cosplay Events • Cosplay Picnic • Wilburton Hill Park • July 20th, 2024

Cosplayers: @chizucakey @carmina.cos @chizuchu @maineya.cos @suzyqt4u @chels_cos @jade_snider2440 This would be the first @pnw_cosplay_events I would join, and I think it was their very first event in Washington at Bellevue’s Wilburton Hill Park. The location had a good deal of parking, so I parked as close as I could. There was a little walk-up a little hill to where the picnic tables were…

SOS Pikes Market Street Meet - January 18th, 2025

@jayd3.n02 @laurenthoma5 @myindigenous_fashion_life @jessicak__modeling @seattleopenshoots This would be the 3rd day I had the Sony a7r2 (a7R II) and a friend told me that a Full Frame doesn’t matter compared to an APS-C camera and I would say it does allot. Many of these shots would look a bit noisy and who knows what if they were shot with an APS-C sensor.

PNW Cosplay Events • Love & Deepspace • Chambers Creek Regional Park

@wanderlust_succubus @avasundya @graceee._.c @anoradorned @evaancos @8bitravenn @akivi.cos I had seen some of Chambers Creek Regional Park in University Place, WA Stone henge in the background of photos (cement structures used for the former gravel mine) in the past but have never shot at the park before until Saturday. This would be in mostly 90ºf full sun but did have a nice breeze off the…

The Fishbowl Gallery - April 4th, 2025

The photo is of una_argentina_en_eeuu, whom I met last year at the SOS Cosplay Fun and Open Topic. The Gum Wall shot came from the 2nd shoot: Gimena – May 11th, 2024. Found out about The Fishbowl Last month when I was sitting at CoCA when a fellow photographer came into the gallery and told me about The Fishbowl. She told me of the Second Skin show, which I promptly chickened out, and I thought…

Ant Gallery – Sept-Oct 2024

September-October’s photo came from the CoCA – A Dreadful Beauty – Gothic Art show in May, and I titled it Ginger. The photo came from a shoot I did back in October 6th, 1999 on what I could recall to be a kind of cold fall day. The clothing came from Ginger’s own closet, and she modeled as she did in different clothes that she brought to the shoot. This was Gingers first and only model test shot…

Gimena - May 11th, 2024

Met Gimena (@una_argentina_en_eeuu) at the SOS Cosplay Fun and Open Topic shoot on a balmy March Saturday, where she was cosplaying Black Widow. It took a few months with the next balmy Saturday this time in May. Gimena was game to pose with new cosplay glasses that I got from Temu. She desired the shot of Post Alley, so I took it with a bit too much bokeh, but that did help to blur out how busy…

Solar Storm May 10th, 2024

Heard about the solar storm from yesterday’s news and wondered if I could capture it with the Sony NEX-6 with its Brightin Star 35mm F1.7. The shots ranged from a few seconds to as much as the max of 30 seconds. Really didn’t have any idea if I was going to get anything, but I kept reviewing the shots, and the live view did help to find the Solar Storm. The tripod that was used was a 3 leg mono…

Model test 2024/5/4

She came in to Ant Gallery during the art opening with her friends. I asked if she would model and she said yeah! I didn’t have my usual Sony a6000 with the usual Sigma 30mm F1.4 DC DN lens but an older Sony NEX-6 with a manual focus Brightin Star 35mm f1.7 lens. Shoot took close to 45 seconds and resulted in 10 shots. I didn’t edit the shots because I liked the way they looked with the way the…

This month I will have 3 shows, Ant Gallery, Foggy Tea Shop and A Dreadful Beauty: History & Art from Gothic Pride Seattle at CoCa Seattle. Stacy This print will be shown at Ant Gallery, and it was part of the CoCa show Submittal, but oddly wasn’t voted to be gothic enough!? 😭 It was taken of a real gothic back in the end of the 90s who I met at The Mercury goth bar in Seattle. The shoot…

Ant Gallery – April 2024

My Photographer I’m sure you have wondered whose my personal photographer, plus she has to be cute, shy and a little clueless! Back in 2008 it was Model Mayhem model Wei-Ming that played the photographer part for a few shots! The photo taken as landscape vs. a portrait for some reason, and later for the shot I cropped it to a portrait. Taken at Seattle’s waterfront, just a few blocks from my OK…

SOS Cosplay Fun and Open Topic

The event happened at Washington Park Arboretum on not only nice but warm day close to last days of Winter. The issue with this is that the park was unusually busy, which didn’t leave those who…
