NY Comic-Con Portraits

I can't help it. October brings out the giant nerd in me. I start geeking heavily in August as it gets closer. September is almost unbearable, waiting, hoping, saving money, checking the website for information. Then in October, it's finally here. NY Comic-Con. This year, presented by Sprint. This year, bigger than ever before, taking up the entire Javits Center. I was there for professional's sneak preview and all day Saturday, the biggest day of the event, and still it felt like there wasn't enough time. Between running around to meet my idols, like Mark Texeira (artist for Moon Knight) and Amy Mebberson (artist on the Muppets, who drew me a Green Lantern Swedish Chef and Dr. Teeth as Thor), fighting through crowds to get free swag, and being generally and genuinely overwhelmed, I managed to focus on shooting some of the amazing cosplayers. This is the beginning of a new project of portraits of those who dress up for conventions such as this one.
