Senshi in the Park

August 21, 2004

This shoot was organized by Usagi Kou and David Ng, and just like Shake-n-Bake, I helped! (Well, mostly I just nagged other people to remind them to get their red outfits ready.) We did this shoot mainly to recreate a certain image from the fourth Sailor Moon artbook, but then we had a lot of fun posing elsewhere in Central Park! And just like the mail service, neither rain nor snow nor sleet nor hail kept us from our posing...well, not rain or thunder, anyway.

View David Ng's photos here.

First off, let me introduce our models.
Our Hotaru is Danielle, Sonnya's cousin from Spain. My friend Skye is our Ami. Usagi Kou is Usagi, of course. Mamoru-san is our Mamoru. Ender is our Seiya.
Sonnya is our Chibiusa, Val is our Setsuna, Yuffie Bunny is our Minako, and Michi and Ruka are our Michiru and Haruka.
For this shot, we all posed in casual outfits.
I bought this at Fashion Bug!
Mother and daughter...when did Chibiusa get so tall?
Waiting to set up the shot.
This is it! This is the shot we were trying to get.
We were missing a Makoto, but we had a Seiya instead.
This is off of a drawing from the fourth artbook.
We got the clothing as near as we could.

Got your girlfriend, Mamoru!
That's okay. We're planning a tryst of our own.

Ooh, what's that?
I dunno, but we'd better have the token male check it out!

This was fun to set up.

You know, Sailor Moon has too many OTPs.

Everyone glomp Mamoru!
Louis has this thing about photographing Sailor Moon cosplayers while they're talking on cell phones.
Would you like to swing on a star?
Wow, that sounds a lot dirtier than I originally intended, if you think about it.
Senshi on horseback!
The people running the carousel must've thought we were NUTS.
But it was so much fun!

Senshi lineup!
We're awfully colorful.
In case you couldn't tell, it was awfully rainy that day.
OMG Duckies!
And birdies on the fountain!

When life hands you rain, make a rain-based photoshoot!
