Wednesday night, I had the honour of photographing legendary local comedy music act "Possible Oscar"! Bud Sharpe and Marshall Stanton (AKA Jared and John) were tons of fun to work with, and they had some pretty funny ideas. The AT-AT walker was a nice touch!

From the bio on their website:
"Possible Oscar is a Minneapolis, MN based comedy music act that specializes in original and parody songs. The band formed in 2005 with former members of the atomic rock band The Nick Atoms with the intention of exploring a creative direction that began in The Nick Atoms’ waning days. Their musical topics range from video games to nerd love, with stops at comic books and notable Hollywood movie sound effects. They also enjoy wearing T-shirts with their band name on them."

Go to their website to hear some of their hilarious songs. (I've said this before, but seriously, "At the Con" is stuck in my head constantly!)

To see all of the photos that I took of Possible Oscar, go here!

Update 8/22/08!

Response was a little overwhelming, so as of today (less than a day after I posted the information), I am booked completely for the next several weeks. If I've already contacted you, you're on the list. If you're still interested in headshots or any other photo project, please feel free to email me and we can make arrangements for you.

I really appreciate the positive response to this promotion and you can expect to see photos to start popping up here and there over the next few weeks. Thanks everyone!

I've nearly finished all of the images from Kakkoi|Con 2008. The only ones remaining are from the Ball Joint Doll event on Sunday, and those should be done and uploaded tonight. What a fun weekend! I had a great time and I am really looking forward to next year, knowing now what I need to change to make things even bigger and better! Special thanks to Ryan and Samm for making me the official Con photographer and giving me this amazing opportunity!

Enjoy!

Check out this great set of images from my photo shoot with Holly L. as Poison Ivy. She's going to be entering it into a costume contest (I won't say which, just to be safe), and I'd say that she has a pretty good chance. Not only did she create an awesome cosplay, but her natural attributes and beauty really set off the whole image. Always a great model, she made this one really easy!

Holly is absolutely one of my favourite people to work with, so do me a solid and send all of your "good luck" vibes in her direction and let's hope she wins!
