Quote9/20/2006 9:59:00 AM - Picture a sad day in the world of cosplay... The well-known cosplay photographer troupe from Consplayers.com had most of of their photo equipment stolen from their vehicle while attending the Japan Town Anime Fair in San Francisco over the weekend. Gone is all but what they had with them, including lenses and various studio equipment. While auto insurance covers the cost of the broken window, it doesn't cover theft of personal items. Robert has been featured in our Cosplay Cameko Flash section. Cosplay Lab has kicked in the first $50, so we encourage you to show your support as well. If you know them personally or you enjoy their photos, send a few bucks their way.
Cosplaylab did an interview of him. Link is below. If you don't recognize him, view the interview and look at his pic. Chances are he took your cosplay pic at Fanime or somewhere else XD

I heard about that! :cry: I feel so sorry for them, since it was a lot of money for all that equipment.
My condolences to Robert and his family. :(
I think it's really fucked up how someone stole all that stuff at the AnimeCon!! This is supposed to be a JOYFUL time...a time of higher morals to show this messed up world how to have fun WITHOUT PAIN/SUFFERING!!

unfortunately we can't control what happens outside of con grounds especially in very dangerous places of certain cities. =\
I've made myself a deal with PL and her family to offer extra donations for any purchases I make with them.
