Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo

Good advice from a vendor at the Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo back in April. (Don’t mind the typo, however …)

Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo

Amid the dizzying array of dazzling costumes I came across at Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo on Sunday, this depiction from Star Wars is one of the standouts, in my humble opinion.

Imminent danger

Upon snapping a series of frames to get this shot, I immediately regretted not doing a video instead.
As much as you can see this motorized R2D2 was being threatened by a lightsabre-wielding Jedi, this photo could not capture the frantic, panicked beeping of a robot facing imminent danger.
Captured at Calgary Comic and Entertainment Expo this past weekend.

Shopping for lightsabers

Ah, a scene you could only capture at a science-fiction/fantasy/cosplay/comic convention. This photo was taken this past weekend at Calgary Expo 2013.
Did you miss the show? I have a few more snapshots in a Flickr set you are welcome to explore. Might add a few more images before the week is out. Please click for a visit if you’ve got the time.
