Alex Weatherston’s Photography Blog

Whew… long time no update. I have been keeping my deviantart up to date (somewhat), but a combination of school and… well yea pretty much fulltime classes spent shut away in the dungeon of the Vancouver film school have ate my time up.

I was able to escape for a day to take pictures of my group’s new cosplays - some of the characters from D.Grey Man. I’ve included one of the photos with this post.

Aside from that, It’s already time for Sakuracon, and so I shall be venturing down to seattle in 3 days to enjoy that - and by enjoy I mean dash around madly (sometimes in costume) taking pictures of people and events. Look for a massive update and influx of new photos on monday of next week.

I also won a new phone recently (Nokia N95) which has a blog feature, and now that I have a new memory card and everything has been figured out function wise, I’m going to try to make a post or two every week… something small with a photo or video. Man, I’m amazed at the people who do the “Photo a day for a year” challenges… what determination!

Wow, it’s almost christmas… time flies when your week is populated with class. I look at my website and think I should update more, but I don’t have time for video games let alone writing a blog, but wait, I’m writing now… so that must mean i’m procrastonating and not doing work. Oh well, it’s 3am and I can’t stare at game interface designs anymore, and I don’t want to resume writing my 50 page design document - so i’ve taken a break, worked on an image and am posting here.

It was just the other friday that twin_fools was back in town and we were all standing infront of a huge waterfall near squamish freezing our butts off and slipping over icy rocks, but it seems like it was just yesterday. Everyone in our little group misses her, and as of this posting it’s only 17 more days till she’s back in town for good. We thought about planning secret airport pages, perhaps we could get roxas paged as she arrives, but apparently they don’t do that anymore. Drat.

It’s also nice to finally have a great group of cosplayers that continually have new costumes, but more importantly have kickass ones. But even more important than the costumes is their attitude and friendship. It’s only been half a year, but we’ve all grown close to eachother, and it’s kinda become a second family. Ramen, costume planning and mario party are weekly events (though nobody wants to play mario party with me anymore) and are a welcome break from the sometimes mundane school drudgery. It’s also the only time I seem to take photos, as doing walk around photography is not on the menu anymore.

I find myself envying my friend and his 2 brand new lenses, but then I think that I would not put them to good use and they would do what my 70-200 F4L is doing - sitting in my camera bag gathering a fine layer of dust. So much for the “must have” lens. Im hoping someone will trade me their 17-40 F4L for it, but so far craigslist hasn’t yeilded good results.

So yes, christmas is coming, twin is back, and there will be many photos taken before the year is over. Hit my deviantart account for updates, well at least more than this website for the time being.

Discussion in class about blogs prompted me to provide a brief update. It also provides me with a quick distraction from homework. Not much aside from school happening lately. There might be an opportunity for photos coming up on saturday though, and if pictures do end up happening, I’ll post them to my gallery or to my new flickr account, and the really good pictures will end up on deviantart. Not much going to be updated website-wise. Perhaps I’ll have more time over the holidays as that will be when I will re-construct Anime Evolution’s website.

I’ve also noticed my pictures popping up around the internet, on places like 4chan and gaia online. I don’t mind people using my pics, but giving me no credit makes me sad. And it makes me ANGRY when people hot-link from my website. Don’t do that or I’ll replace the image with something not-so-nice when you least expect it. You’ve been warned!
