Detour2015-final-126
Anime Detour, the social event of the season for the Minnesota anime community. Something about Detour makes people try their hardest to have fun. After 6 months of cold, snow, and no conventions, people are ready to cut loose in a big way.
This was my 5th Detour, but my first as a photographer. I haven't taken many pictures since Daisho Con, so I was worried it may take me a while to get back into the habit. Boy, was I wrong. That special something about Detour hit me hard, I found myself with my head on the floor trying to get the angles right, I woke up early after a late night of partying so I could take pictures before the hotel got crowded, and I constantly pushed myself to take more pictures and interact with more cosplayers.
I had a lot of fun, and learned a ton. I took about 1,500 photos, and after 20 or so hours of editing I have just under 300 pictures to share. Some photographers only upload their very best pictures, I try to upload at least one good picture of everyone who lets me take their photo. There were a few sets of photos that didn't work out, so a few really great costumes didn't make it into this gallery, but I'm sure one of the many great photographers who attended the convention will have a photo of anyone I missed.
As with all my convention photos, if you see yourself or someone you know, please let me know and I'd be glad to credit you in the description, send you the raw image, etc. I'm not a professional, and if my photos can help improve the convention experience in any way I'm glad to help.
