Calendar Issues Update

My dear friends, followers, clients and fans. As you know I've been working with Harbour Con-Fusion over the last few months to develop a cosplay calendar for 2013, to help raise funds for the convention that same year. I regret to inform everyone involved or interested that said calendar will not be ready before the end of the year. We have had some major setbacks concerning the last few shoots for very legitimate reasons and have also run into a temporary road block on the final design and printing of the units this year. However, all is not for ill, I will be continuing to finish shooting throughout December and into January and we will have a final product ready for order in late January too early February at the price of 20 dollars. The calendar will be relabelled for 2014 and hold it's original content as photographed this year. This will give us much needed breathing room for final design and sales of the units. Thank you everyone for your support and I hope you will stuff find interest in this project and help support the charities Harbour Con-Fusion donates to. Look for an update on the images once shooting is done and for some interesting news for the new year.

Calendar Progress!

Hello friends and followers, as I announced roughly two months ago I have been working on a cosplay calendar as a promotional fund raising item for Harbour Con-Fusion 2013. I am happy to announce that pre-orders will begin soon for this exclusive item. 

All proceeds from the sales will go to Harbour Con-Fusion to support the cost of the 2013 convention, the convention in turn donates it's proceeds to the Saint John SPCA. This is a great cause which I fully support and more then happy to have an active hand in. I would like to address the amazing cosplay artists from across the province that have shared their kindness, skill and time as well as braving the elements in some cases. They also deserve you support as craftspeople and fans of our incredible hobby. I have greatly enjoyed working with these incredible people over the last few months.

I have a few shoots left to finish and then printing will begin. My hope is that this item stands as a testament too the strength of our "geek" culture here in New Brunswick, and my greater hope that you all rush to purchase and support our culture and good willed nature. Thank you everyone, I look forward to doing more of this work in the future.

Saint John Zombie Walk 2012

I don't know what to really say about the Zombie Walk, as you know I did one in Fredericton about a month ago, they are amazing photo opportunities all around. I was happy that is was a lot darker and moody this time, really added to the atmosphere. Like in Fredericton they raise money and take donations for a local food bank. Zombies are always a fun time.

Well this was half of my weekend, the other half I'll have to post some other time once the images re clear for release.

A Call For Models

Hello friends! I am happy to announce I am working on a cosplay pinup calendar for 2013. The calendar will be sold to support the non-profit Harbour Con-fusion Inc. which is raising money for the 2013 convention in Saint John, New Brunswick. Harbour Con-Fusion in turn donates profits from the convention to the Saint John SPCA, so this fundraiser is deeply important to me. I am looking for 18 year old plus models for at least 5 different months right now. Though this is a pinup style calendar the images will be completely tasteful and will include zero nudity. You do not need your own cosplay in most cases as some of the other models have multiple wardrobes which we can utilize. I am hoping to have a schedule booked by mid October and complete shooting by the 3/4 mark in November. Anyone interested within the Maritimes or who will be visiting the Maritimes that wishes to participate please contact me at larrymholder@gmail.com . Thank you friends and I hope to hear from some of you soon.

New Blog For Cosplay

I decided to make a new blog just for Cosplay, it will go more in depth and show the difference between the captured image and the final edits. Hopefully people can use it as a learning tool.

Freddy Town Cosplay - FREX Fun!

Hey everyone, this one one hell of a fun shoot today! I'm part of a fairly new Facebook group called Freddy Town and Surrounding Area Cosplayers and today was a little meet and greet at the FREX (Fredericton Exhibition). I couldn't miss this one, I mean cosplay and carnival rides and games, oh hell yes. It was a small turn out, but a good group of wonderful youngsters, I hope I can go to more of these in the future.

To all those in the group that couldn't come, please come next time!

Fredericton Zombie Walk for The Food Bank 2012

Quick update, I had a chance to go to the Zombie Walk in support of the Fredericton Food Bank. I've never been to one of these but I can tell you it was a blast not to mention good exercise. They received lots of donations and everyone seemed happy and had a great time from what I could tell. Here are my pictures, I made a few in different versions, like black and white, I have a thing for old black and white horror flicks so I love the look for them. Also I got to try out this cool fisheye Polaroid filter I picked up, it's not the sharpest look, but it's a damn cool effect for about 1\10th the cost of an actual fisheye lens. I mean just look at this -

Anyway, enough photo geeking, on to the rest of the pictures.

Pretty cool stuff, I'm defiantly going next year too. And on a photo note, the rest of the shots that look normal were shot with a 50mm lens.
