MalePersonal Bio
I was born and raised in Scotland, and I'm currently studying Psychology at the University of St. Andrews'. Among other things I'm a producer for the local radio station, a long-time player and DM of pen-and-paper roleplaying games, a budding photographer, an on-off fantasy writer, JRPG fanatic, scholar of tokusatsu and owner of possibly the most awesome hat ever.
My website is Cosplay Snap, something that I set up just before Amecon 2007 as a way to expand my interest in photography into proper on-site photo shoots. I would like to be a full-time photographer at some point, but right now I just do it for the fun and experience.
Cosplay Bio
I had been interested in cosplay for ages but I never had the time, money or opportunity to do it until Ayacon Five back in 2004, which was my first anime convention. I snapped up the opportunity and thanks to that, I met so many wonderful friends there.
I've got big ambitions for cosplay but that tends to get hampered by my rampant perfectionism and insistence on getting it right the first time (which as any good cosplayer will tell you is not the way to go). My sewing skills are quite frankly rubbish and I've only ever modded existing clothes.
With my recent interest in photography it's hard to find the time and money to pursue cosplay but with two huge (and difficult) projects lined up for 2008, I'm going to give it my all to get back in the cosplay game.

I think that I'm going to have to drop one of my cosplays for Expo.
It's as much a money thing as a time thing. I just dropped three digits on a shiny new lens for Expo and I'm realising that each cosplay would set me back quite a bit more. I'm questioning whether I can really justify spending that much in such short order. (Annoyingly, it's the wigs that are costing the most money of all.)
I feel really crappy about it, but I have a feeling that Lehko is going to be the one I drop. I can't stress how bummed I am about this- walking around Expo as a Mithra would have been freaking awesome- but he would probably cost more and take more time. The wig on its own would be something like £30. That, and I made a commitment to the Reaper group ages ago and it would feel pretty lame to suddenly bail at the last moment.
I'm having real trouble finding a cheap black double-breasted coat though. The damn things are in fashion, and now I can't find any of the things that aren't ludicrously expensive.
