After Dragoncon I get together with my friends and we have a Dragoncon picture swapping party, where we share each other's pictures. My friend Ken, who is also a photographer, took a lot of pictures, more than myself, as I was in costume more than he was. These are his pictures. Enjoy!

This woman's expression just makes this picture as she looks disdainfully at the other costumer, whose eyes are not where they should be
Below: my friend Randy (in the William Riker Star Trek costume) built this R2-D2 droid. This is its first con. His wife is in the Captain Janeway Star Trek costume beside him, and on the other side, another friend of mine in a Sith cheerleader outfit. There are a number of female members of the 501st Legion who have Sith cheerleader ensembles.
Snake Plissken with apes from Planet Of The Apes. They were wandering around throwing their net on people!

Above right and below: the perfect makeup and beautiful costumes are a testament to how much effort and devotion some attendees put into their costumes. These women look ready to step onto a sound stage.

Below: the staff of the host hotels love Dragoncon. Not only does the event pump lots of money into the local economy, but attendees are generally well behaved, respectful and fun loving. The staff have a lot of fun hanging with all the crazy costumers. This is what life is all about: being yourself (or a favorite character) and having fun doing it.
