Dragon Con 2014 (1 Viewer)

Dragon Con 2014 has come and gone. It's an ever-growing pop cultural convention featuring about 40 tracks of programming for any kind of nerd or fan could want under a big broad tent of Dragon Con and its 5 host hotels in downtown Atlanta on Labor Day weekend. This year I got my photos done much quicker, so I'll be sharing the photo sets in the coming days. First up is the Big DC Comics mega shoot where anyone in a DC Comics character costume (as long as they were made or commissioned, and not a quickie store-bought costume, folks are welcome to join in for the photos). https://www.flickr.com/photos/patcave/sets/72157646777726099/And these are from the subgroup shoot featuring characters from the Justice League of America: https://www.flickr.com/photos/patcave/sets/72157646821937550/

Next up is the Marvel Comics mega shoot, and there were quite a few guests who showed up, George Perez, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Thanos, a wedding proposal, and James and Sean Gunn, where was a big highlight of the shoot: https://www.flickr.com/photos/patcave/sets/72157647247503331/There was also a subgroup shoot featuring the Avengers that I took photos for, so here are those photos as well: https://www.flickr.com/photos/patcave/sets/72157647386636615/

Thursday evening, I was invited to the "Girls of the Con" calendar release party, so I snapped a few shots at the party held at the Hard Rock Cafe, and then made my way to the Marriott for a few more photos here and here: https://www.flickr.com/photos/patcave/sets/72157647112533737/Since I was busy at a lot of shoots, I didn't get to shoot too many random cosplayers out and about, but here's what I managed to photograph on Friday in the daytime: https://www.flickr.com/photos/patcave/sets/72157647220969989/

Here's what I managed to shoot on Saturday in the daytime when I wasn't busy with 2 big shoots: https://www.flickr.com/photos/patcave/sets/72157647666810862/And here's what I managed to capture Saturday evening wandering around mostly the Hyatt and the Marriott: https://www.flickr.com/photos/patcave/sets/72157647645779595/https://www.flickr.com/photos/patcave/sets/72157647645779595/
