I have already posted a few shots arising from a brief interaction with cosplay aficionados; including the one above which is now the “out of the camera” look rather than the B&W treatment I previously published. Time to share some more.
The cosplay convention was happening outside Paragon in Bangkok and I had fifteen minutes of shooting time before we had to meet someone for dinner. What a target-rich environment. Dozens of weird, or cute or, best of all, weird and cute students in outrageous costumes, just aching to be photographed. I could easily have spent an hour or more with them. Still, in fifteen minutes I caught a few, and here they are:
Top marks to the Panasonic GX1 with the Panasonic/Leica 25mm lens, which enabled me to jump in and take quick shots while the DSLR boys were manipulating their monster rigs. Never missed focus and the images looked good right out of the camera.

2012-03-23| Grant saysWell Spike, number one in B&W was vastly better, really edgy, good magazine cover stuff. Any reference to number 16 as a little Thai pussy would be of course wholly gratuitous and quite unsuitable for a family blog so forget I mentioned it. I still think you should have gone along as Radioactive Man, one of lifes great chances missed…
2012-03-23| Barry saysI love this kind of stuff. One thing that Thais are really good at is anything artisitic. But then, pretending something you’re not is second nature to them, isn’t it.
2012-03-23| Spike saysNot from my experience, They pretend to be rather charming, friendly people; and that seems to be what they are.
2012-03-23| Spike saysI thought she was a mouse; but then I often get confused between mice and pussies.
