The journey to Otakon 2008 – I’m a chargin’ mah camera battery

Less than 1 week to go for Otakon 2008 and I’m going into preparation mode. Ever since I started snaping photos during Otakon 2005, I’ve started somewhat of a tradition which is going even further. For my trusty Nikon D50, I am adding a new lens to my arsenal which has a range of 55-200 mm (compared to 18-55 for my stock lens). I’m also going to try and do video for the first time with my point and shoot digital camera. I have a 4GB SD card to capture a lot of footage, so I hope it will serve me well.

For the first time ever, I will be handing out business cards. I cooked up something quick on overnightprints.com (Moo.com would be wonderful for random shots, but it would take too long to get them in time) and I hope the cosplayers that I photograph remember me or at least see their pic on Flickr.

Oh, yeah, it looks like I will be staying at the Sheraton by the BCC instead of the Ren. There was a change in plans. At least it won’t be too much of a walk back at night.
