Anime Boston 2010

Anime Boston 2010

Hynes Convention Center & Sheraton Hotel

I've been an attendee of Anime Boston for many years. My first year at AB was in 2004. This was when AB was still held in a hotel! This year I made the jump to staff as a photographer. It was a very exhausting experience, even more so than as an attendee. However, I loved every single minute of it and I plan to return as staff next year.

As a staff photographer had the fortunate opportunity to photograph Japanese guests Nobuo Uematsu and MYM. I enjoyed Nobuo's panel and was overjoyed to hear Final Fantasy 6 was his favorite Final Fantasy game. Had a blast photographing MYM's concert. The best moment was when MYM's cried on stage out of joy and I captured it with my camera. The Video Game Orchestra was a fantasti get for Anime Boston. They played classic pieces from Mario, Silent Hill, Chrono Trigger, and of course Final Fantasy (Nobuo came out to play on keyboards). These were the three highlights of the convention. I was busy running around from panels to varies events all weekend from morning to the end of the day. I miss not having enough time to take pictures of cosplayers while as a staff. I don't regret it though, it's worth giving that up to be staff.

More pictures from the con are still uploading. Here's the link to more Anime Boston photos.
