Pat's 2000 Dragon*Con Photo Album:
Masquerade Contest

All photos are copyright 2000 by Patrick Sun. Unauthorized use without written consent is prohibited.

Welcome to my Masquerade Contest page. The overall quality of the photos isn't that great due to the "no flash photography" policy for this event, and sometimes the contestants just stay up on stage for 4 seconds or less (if I was in a costume, I'd stay on stage for a good 15 seconds while I strut on the catwalk). I decided to crop the pix to include the pertinent parties on stage. The good part is that the photo files are very small. I have also included a few better photos that I took with my film camera after the contest in front of the entrance way, and those are a bit better, But you should get the flavor of how the contest went this year. But I have to confess, the MC's (Andreas Katsulas and Chase Masterson) were funny as hell, and it was a blast to watch their reaction to each contestant that came up on stage. Many of the photos for each contestant will include their reaction to them. Now on with the show:

Hope you have fun and spread the word. I have scanned/uploaded all my film photos that I also took this year, and incorporated them into the final layout on this page.

There was a contest for the children in attendance, and here are photos of Chase Masterson's reaction to the winner (Raven) in this category. Truly a star was born.
