If you’re not familiar with AWA (Anime Weekend Atlanta), it’s a Japanese animation (or Anime) and comics convention held in Atlanta each year shortly after Dragon*Con. It’s quite an exciting convention filled with interesting and unique costumes (or as they might call it cosplays).

I’ve been going for quite a few years now typically just to see whats popular as well as to check out all these fantastic costumes. You can see some of my past coverage at the following links:

This year was a fairly quiet year for me as far as AWA is concerned. I was so dead tired from Dragon*Con that I barely got to do anything or really enjoy all the activities available. However, I did get to attend a few things, namely the fashion show indicated below as well as meet up with a few of my local repeat clients.

Here are a few examples of the shots I took during the Lolita Fashion Show

I was fairly lucky to also run into the Outland Armour crew at AWA. There was a steampunk ball late on evening to which they were the guests of honor. I was able to grab a few shots before they went into the event.

Near the end of the convention, a couple of old friends asked if I would shoot their group as well. I’m always happy to help a friend out when I have the spare time. Here are the shots below for you to check out!
