SMASH! 2010 – A mini preview
I'm pretty tired from shooting today. I went along to the Sydney Manga and Anime SHow, SMASH! at Town Hall today.
I was shooting from backstage for most of it, so unfortunately, I'm not bringing you photos of cosplayers. This also means that I won't be putting a rush out on these photos, but I will give you a mini preview of some of my favourite shots from today:
This guy was awesome. Before the doors opened, he set up a little amp and started rocking out. He had his own little following shortly after.
One of the more popular artists at work.
I'm a sucker for polaroids. And cute girls. That's why I have a polaroid camera and a cute girl (both not pictured here).
One of the many organisers of SMASH!, I've forgotten her name, but she's Alyssa Inocencio the Guest coordinator.
One of the maids from the cafe. I think they're part of the D2MG dance group? Not sure. Just the boys (not pictured) were part of D2MG. See comments below. Thanks "Sakura Fubuki".
Jackson - one of the faces of the online art, japanese and pop-culture store, Pinin. Go visit their store. They have cute stuff.
A lot of the stress and organising goes on behind the scenes. This is just one typical situation.
Yuko Miyamura's backstage door. I did get permission to take photos of her. Unfortunately, until my photos are approved by her agent (which will probably take a while), I can't show you them. It's unlikely I'll be able to post any pics of her.
I've got a report coming up on the way, and more photos soon, so check back when you can =)

Great photos Muki!
Looking at these photos, I’m suffering from a bad case of P.E
Look forward to seeing your other photos

Just letting you know that only the boys were from the D2MG dance group.
The girls were all (aside just one) volunteers from the SMASH! convention as part of the promotion team of Maid cafe.

Thanks! I’ll have to take a longer look at yours when I get off work. They look awesome from what I’ve seen!
I should’ve let you borrow my gear during some of the downtime that weekend. Remind me next time, say Animania next month? =)
