another odd question, does a cosplayer have to stop & let their picture be taken?
No, but it is polite to do so. If someone wants to take your picture, that is a compliment to your cosplay. If you're in a hurry or it is otherwise inconvenient, then a polite refusal is okay.
I think the most I've spent on a cosplay was $170 but that's because the Kylo Ren helmet alone was expensive. I usually plan my cosplay ahead and buy materials for it in batches so that I don't feel as bad spending all of it in one go.
i want to cosplay but i don't like having my picture taken. is that weird?
No, not at all! A lot of people who cosplay are very shy and reticent IRL. But putting on the costume helps you embrace the character, and often gives people more confidence. If you'd like, you could wear a mask or makeup or a wig to change your appearance, so that it doesn't look like 'you'... if that makes sense?
