Seoul Cosplay
02 years ago
I got to the AT Center about 2pm. There was already a huge crowd. I was really impressed with the turnout. There were some really unique costumes and some that probably took forever to put together. I ended up spending most of my time in the park behind the center. There were also a bunch of photographers there. I saw a few guys that had even brought their own reflectors.(would love to see their shots). I never actually went into the Center, since hundreds of cosplayers were actually in the park behind the building. I ended up leaving about 5:30 or so and heading back to Dongtan.
I took a ton of photos and I got some good ones I think, but I can see how much I have to learn about photography and composing shots in general.
I will probably be processing more photos later and you can check them out on Flickr here.

Today was one of those days that could not end soon enough. I had my usuall Friday schedule with waking up at 7 and then my part-time work at 10. I was able to grab a quick nap before my classes in the afternoon. I really have to start going to bed earlier on Thursday night.
I am really excited about heading to Gangnam tomorrow to the Comic World Festival that is being held at the AT Center near Yangjae Station to take some photos of the cosplayers. Here are some links to some galleries that were taken by a few of the photographers in the Flick in Seoul group the last time there was a Comic Festival. These guys take great photos. I hope I can get some good shots.
JJ and I have plans to be lazy on Sunday and go have duck at a restaurant that I found last Monday. I really don’t think that we will do much of anything else. I do know that I really need to sit down and work on her visa. My parents sold their house, so we will need to wait for their new address before we turn in the paperwork, but I really gotta start working on it.
The above picture was taken while wondering around my neighborhood.
That Doesn’t Look Like the Batmobile.

As hot as it was on Tuesday, I bet this guy was dying. He was running all over the park delivering chicken to various families. I saw him at least 3 times wandering around the park looking for his customers. Great gimmick for BBQ chicken, but if I worked for them and they told me that today I was going to dress like batman and deliver chicken I would have to find a new job.
This is not the first time I have seen super-hero get up in Korea. We had Superman come to our school selling insurance about a month ago. It was shame I didn’t have my camera.

Here is one of the photos that I took on Children’s Day that I thought came out pretty good. This man and his wife had full crew and were running around everywhere to keep up with their children. The park was packed. I don’t know if I have ever seen it that busy. It seems like every family in Dongtan came out to Central Park and set up a tent or blanket.
Today I went back to work. It really felt like a Monday especially with the amount of work that was piled up on my desk. Thankfully, it is a short week.
I did start my new daily routine today and will explain more in a later post this week.
I just cracked open a beer and am about to process some photos and catch up on a couple weeks worth of the Seoul Podcast.
