Oh… and one last bonus.
Take Photos Of Everyone
Gender, race, ability, Fursuit, body type … a con can have THOUSANDS of attendees and it’s never just those in costume participating. Make new friends, share the space, show others how they can fit in too!
I do encourage everyone to participate, but remember it’s not about being the \best photographer\. It’s about showcasing and documenting what the con or event is like. If you want to get onto staff, you just gotta do the work!
And don’t forget to photo all the cool stuff 💜
(AC 2023, not staff)
Every staff/volunteer job at a con is there because the con needs the labor of everyone to function. Just like reg, security, gofers, safety, and a hundred other jobs.
There are perks and rewards for everyone who helps… but you gotta be doing your part for the show!

Panels
Floor photos
Party floor
Concerts
Candids
Portraits
The job can be extremely rewarding, but it’s a job that needs a lot of legwork
(Vancoufur 2025)
Priority access to dance events is a perk. It’s not the core of the job. There are 100 places that need coverage too!
(Howl 2025, not staff)
Do you know what the secrets to staff photography are?
1) get coverage for media teams
2) deliver promptly so media teams can use the footage
It’s… literally that simple

😅 I keep thinking I’ve made enough Stupid Camera Club tags for each event and yet I keep running out.
I should prob just order some from a shop instead of grinding them DIY
A powerful need 🤩🤩👀👀
Model wearing a cream and navy varsity jacket with sewing tools and butter cookie themed embroideries
Hoping samples can go smoothly so I can start a preorder together with the varsity jacket return 🧈
I need to find a more reliable supplier. Chenille is a common fabric used in academic letter patches and it’s perfect for sheepy texture
Good morning, everyone! We’re open for commissions again!! 💜✨

Sped made this chubby bunny for the #GSFC art show. I love her a ton omg
Building up an “artistic diet” was a huge game changer for me 😁 esp in the current slop internet, having a few high quality places to get fed is huge!
Robocalls hate when you just start pounding the keypad like a flustered bottom
Tiny toxic joy: taking out my aggression on scammers 🤣 you win if they block you first
My only way through is quoting as fairly as I can manage while being called an asshole at the same time 🤣
I can’t even get my hours/materials down on my embroidery stuff… and that’s still like 4x what people expect to spend ;;__;;
All fiber arts are so labor intensive and consumers have no idea
These are so awesome thank you @anephototeam.bsky.social !!! 💚

If I had a nickel for every Baltimore photographer who hated my guts… I’d have 2 nickels.
Which isn’t much, but weird it happened twice
A photograph of a reindeer and a polar bear fursuiter at a pool table. The reindeer is bent over backwards until their antlers touch the table, while the polar bear is bent over them, muzzles almost touching, and using their antlers to steady the pool cue
We play pool a little differently up north of the Arctic Circle. @grolar.bsky.social knows the best way to line up the shot is with the help of a friendly reindeer assistant.

Robert Eggers has talked about the level of historical accuracy in his films and how it's in service to immersing the viewer, because when something looks wrong or off it immediately takes you out of it. That's how I feel whenever I see the most perfectly uniform chain of all time in my furry porn
Because I have brainworms I need to turn plushie prize Jeffica into an embroidery piece

VF will have to find a new hell-slot for the inflatables panel. It’s been early on Sunday nearly always 🤣
