I'm going to randomly put this out there because it'll just bug me until I do. This year at Otakon was the first time I did private shoots for other Cosplayers (Commissioned). I noticed something during my shoots. If you do not have lights set up and/or a backdrop, people tend to randomly come up and interrupt your shoot to ask for a photo of that Cosplayer. However, if you DO have lights set up and maybe a backdrop to go with it, no on bothers you or interrupts your shoot.

So I guess what my rant is about is please, PLEASE if you see a photographer taking a lot of photos of a small group of Cosplayers or one or two even, do not randomly come up and ask for a photo. Have patience and wait until the shoot is over. I can't tell you how many times someone had interrupted my shoots just because I don't have lights or a backdrop does not mean I'm not a professional photographer. My Attack on Titan group was 20 minutes late meeting me (my fault actually) and they only had a 30 minute shoot. I had someone (videographer) come up and interrupt my shoot for a 30 second video.

It's rude and disrespectful to do something like that. I even told several people that I was doing a private shoot and to please wait until the shoot was done with. As well as explaining the shoot started late and I had another one right after it. I don't like things starting/running late but sometimes it can't be helped. Next time you see a photographer taking photos just ask if they are doing a private shoot. Be courteous and just wait until they are done before snapping a pic of that Cosplayer or asking for a short video.

This was my personal experience as a Photographer during Otakon 2014. Next time be kind, courteous, and respectful. We do not (can not) rent areas for shoots. I was out of the way (far back at the third floor terrace; in front of the large indoor boat; or other places out of the way of Cosplayers).

On May 10, 2015, local Berwick, PA band From the Shadows played their first live show in Reading, PA at the Reverb with Aborted, Fit for an Autopsy, Archspire, Dark Sermon as headliners. The opening bands included Depraved Harbinger, From the Shadows, Under the Red Hoop, Trails and more. Tickets were sold at $15 each. The venue wasn't the largest or the most elaborate.

For being an all metal show, I had expected a lot more people. The crowd; even with the headliners was sparse. The venue also offered alcohol to 21+ concert goers from a small bar area in the far back of the room. I was there solely to take photos of From the Shadows. The band played two of four songs from their prepared set due to time constraint. Arrival was a bit late but unavoidable.

As far as their initial performance from what they were able to play, it was a good first show for them. They had concentration and were on the ball. Unintentional mishaps from drummer Matthew Robbins such as dropping the drum stick turned out to be as manager of the venue stated "a cool addition to the set."

Below is a photo I caught with all of the band in full concentration of the music.

From the Shadows is set to play their second show. Details are still unknown. However, the venue will most likely be somewhere in Allentown, PA. Keep an eye out for details to upcoming shows for the band through their Facebook Page:
