One might expect Lara Croft to jump, swing, and climb her way to the upper deck. In fact, she takes the escalator...she doesn't even walk to make it go faster.

She brought her own photographer...he was not very friendly.

Yeah, she's a paid model, but most the decent costumes this year seemed to be.

I'm not sure who she's supposed to be? Is there a comic where Wolverine turns into a girl? I should really study more before agreeing to shoot a comic convention.

This girl seemed to be working the Skin Walker booth. At least she was standing there every time I went by.

I wonder if the invisible jet comes with a disclaimer “May cause anterior spread when used for extensive flying.”

Lara Croft...a little poochie, eh?

Once again, my limitted knowledge of the freakish world of anime prevents me from telling you who the girl with a boy on a leash is supposed to be.

There were a significant number of people who dressed up outlandishly, they acted like you had no business looking at or photographing them. Pray tell, what was the point of the dressing up?

I can't help but wonder how much she gets paid to spend 8 hours standing in a booth in an 80 degree convention center dressed like that.

Special highspeed photography equipment let me capture superman doing a little shopping.

This girl had the foresight to bring a huge cape to cover up her somewhat boney display of spandex.
