If you’ve never been to an anime or fan convention before, they can be pretty overwhelming. Especially if you decide to go for your first time in a costume! Here are a few suggestions on the etiquette and common sense to follow!

When I was in the sixth grade I got my first camera. It was a Fuji point and shoot that used 35mm film, although I didn't know what a point and shoot was at the time. I loved taking pictures with it, even if my first few rolls of film all featured part of my thumb obscuring the view. I didn't know a thing about photography, but I loved the thrill of pulling my freshly-printed photographs from the development lab's envelope. I told my brother that I wanted to be a photographer, and he scoffed. “Photographers have to moonlight.” I didn't know what that meant, and he said “It can't be your main job. You can only take pictures on weekends and in the evening. It's not a real career.” And just like that, I never thought about becoming a professional photographer again. Now I know better. There are plenty of people who work as professional photographers, and while it can be a difficult and competitive field, it can also be very rewarding and fulfilling. I am merely an amateur photographer, but I do enjoy it and still enjoy the thrill of looking at my prints (I still prefer to shoot on film, even now, years later).
