There are no major plans for this year.
As was the case from 2014, I'm still paring down to eventual retirement from cosplay photography.
C2E2 and ACEN are set for the year.
Anime Midwest is very likely and Wizard World is becoming less likely. The environment within the Wizard World cons is increasingly hostile to photographers, so it's no longer enjoyable. They also pulled a real jerk move trying to undercut C2E2 this spring.
I'll likely do small cons that are relatively clique free.
I like those. They're just friendlier.
More to come.

As to 2014
The story so far.
I've confirmed C2E2.
I have a badge for ACEN 2014, but I'm not too keen on going.
The cliques that infest it have been busy spinning up their little drama, but that's never really been a concern. It just gets old watching it.
While it doesn't stop me, it does effect those whom I photograph.
I'm debating the out of state stuff.
Things are pretty busy and will likely be even more busy as the weather warms.
More as info as events develop.
The kids can play with their drama: I'll play with my cameras.
*Edit*
Yes. I'm going to ACEN.
Yes. I'm going to Anime Midwest.
I'll post that here since the drama-llamas don't have
Where to go from here?
2012 was an amazing year, topped off by the website cosplayphotocollective.com
Topping out at over 1.1 million views.
Needless to say I was astounded.
My most sincere thanks to those who posed for photos and those who put up with my really bad jokes.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~On to 2013~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I'm paring down to fewer cons as I move towards leaving cosplay photography.
So far I only have the core midwest cons that I regularly attend.
Anime Iowa is still on the schedule as are C2E2, Anime Midwest, Kollisioncon, and Wizardworld.
I'm adding Colossalcon in June as my annual "Con I've never been to."
Due to drama concerning photo
Yes, I know. No cares, but...

2011 was a fantastic year con wise. Many MANY photos and new friends and a few that have decided to move forward with their lives. It's a been a great time and thank you for the fun times.
To everyone:
Prosper, but remember to have as much fun as you can. You only get one chance at life. Make it count.
You may have noticed that I've ratcheted down the number of cons for this year.
