Alex Weatherston’s Photography Blog

I’ve finally got around to making a front navigation page. This will hopefully help people who want to go directly to my gallery as some people miss the link to it in the top right hand corner of the page. I’ve also added a link to my deviantart account which I try to update frequently.

Due to people taking certain images off my website and doing various things (claiming them as their own, trying to sell them, etc) I’ve had to resize all the images I’ve taken from the M.O.V.E concert at Sakuracon 2007. While I origionally had large, 1200 x 800 images uploaded, I have now had to shrink them to under 700×400. If you do end up using an image from my gallery, do know that I have statistics on who downloads what, and It’s not hard for me to find my images on the web.

In other news I’ve found a link to the Sakuracon 2007 opening video which uses quite a few of my images.

Enjoy!

I took a small trip to the world of fashion on friday and saturday as I was invited to take photos at two of Fashion Vancouver’s shows. I had a great time and met alot of other photographers, and spent quite a bit of time discussing lenses, cameras and general photography. It’s also funny to note that quite a few people doing photography have or are working in the video game industry. It’s a small world after all ain’t it?

Photos will be uploaded soon. Until everything is finalized, the gallery will remain locked. I’ll update this post with the link when photos are chosen.

So I was able to track down the video of the segment that appeared on Global BC news. I’ve uploaded the file to youtube. Enjoy!

Aah, another year, another con. I had a great time this year at Sakuracon, and took lots of pictures - just under 3000 to be exact. The next few days will be spent sitting infront of my computer sorting through them all. You may have seen me walking around the convention area… I wasn’t hard to miss as I was the 6′7″ tall Pence from kingdom hearts 2 (Big red jersey with a dog and white lettering, and usually a popsicle or two sticking out of my headband). You may also have seen me at the larger events near the stage taking photos. It was my first year cosplaying, and I was amazed how many people took MY photo (I’m usually the one taking them) or commented on my cosplay. Thanks!

Final registration numbers are well over 10,000 and with most people switching costumes at least once, that’s a ton of cosplayers! If I did indeed miss you in your costume, I do appologize in advance. While I would love to be able to get pictures of everyone, I don’t think it’s humanly possible. If I did get your picture though, I do hope you like it. If you require a larger copy, some touch-ups done, or perhaps removal of a photo for whatever reason, simply send me a email (alex*@*aweatherston.com - remove stars) and I’ll be sure to answer it.

Here’s the link:

I’m sorting photos into 3 categories: Cosplay, Events and Photoshoots. This should help you to find your photo if you attended a photoshoot. I’ll also try to add search tags to images, but that’s low priority for now.

I hope you enjoy my photos, please feel free to comment, and we’ll see you next year (or at Anime Evolution 07 if you’re going) !!

Feel free to use the pictures for whatever you wish and don’t forget to give me credit!
