...and it was a lot of fun. We did to showcase the costume the model wore at an anime convention; Ozine Fest '09 Day 2. Hope to do more someday, I just love the whole process; from the make-up, wig, costumes and making odd poses! Plus, it's making your favorite anime to life! I've really learned one important thing though: watch/read about the anime/manga at most one week prior to the shoot...so as to master the character, etc. & look for more props (we forgot to bring the dagger!).

Wrong info on the EXIF data though, we shot at around April. The date on the Canon EOS 50D must be set a month later.

Thanks so much to ~wordpainter10 and ~zhenzhen.
