6 Of The Greatest Cosplayers From Anime Expo
In a daring continuation of this article about rolling into a con with a camera I barely know how to use, I decided to drop by Anime Expo over at the Los Angeles Convention Center to check out some cosplay and meet new and exciting people. First and foremost, the entire place is packed to the rafters. Admittedly, it's been a few years since I've been to AX and the scale of it now is like nothing from what I remember. That's a good thing in that there are a lot of cool people to meet. The only downside is that poor ventilation of exhibit halls has become the bane of everyone's existence. We're not here to talk about the logistics of the con, though. I'm here to show you some of the cool cosplays I had a chance to check out. So take a look!

From Overwatch to Titans: Meet Evey Dantès, Cosplayer Extraordinaire
A lot of scary stuff comes from Australia. It's a country seemingly built for the sole purpose attempting to murder the people that have the stones to live there. It's not all doom and gloom though, cool stuff comes out of Australia, too. Did you know they invented the electronic pacemaker? That has nothing to do with this article, I just thought it was an interesting fact. Another awesome thing to come out of Australia is Evey Dantès aka Dantès Inferno. This twenty-four-year-old cosplayer/model has racked up 87k likes on her FB page so far and with good reason. She's very good at what she does. With that in mind, here are five of my favorite cosplays by Evey (in no particular order).

James Bond Director Dies Aged 93
“You can’t really change the formula, you can merely try to film it your way.” Guy Hamilton once said before his sad passing. Director of four James Bond movies including ‘Goldfinger’, Guy Hamilton has died at the age of 93. Guy was born in Paris and was then educated in England. His introduction to the Film Industry in France made him discover “how a studio worked the hard way”. Hamilton then left France behind him to enlist in the Royal Navy (by way of Paramount News). His films were mostly inspired by the military. His most financially successful film in the 1950s was ‘The Colditz Story’. His other major film ‘A Touch Of Larceny’ got him a sole BAFTA nomination.

I Took A Camera I Barely Knew How To Use to A Con And Here's What Happened
It's Dangerous to Go Alone, Better Take A Camera I haven't been to a convention in years. I used to go frequently, but that tapered off as life started to happen. I lost touch with a lot of the nerd things I loved doing because I always felt there were other, more important things to do. They were all dumb excuses so I decided not to listen to them. Instead, I decided to celebrate the fact that I jumped on a great team that pay me enough to feed my nerd habits by going to my first con since 2008 (holy crap it's been that long?). It was a whim so I didn't have anyone to go with, but I did have a shiny new camera that I have no idea how to use so I packed it up and was on my way. The con in question was The Los Angeles Cosplay Convention which was being held in Long Beach because of reasons and it was unexpectedly glorious for several reasons.
