Day 81 of 365 days. I don’t know what happened to the kids of today. When I was a kid we had TONS of trick or treaters coming to the house on halloween. We’d actually run out of candy sometimes. Past experience these last couple of years taught me that getting that kind of turn-out…

Day 80 of 365 days. The best part about Halloween is the candy. Ok, not really, the best part is getting to play dress up. The second best part is the candy. No wait, that’s wrong too. The very bestest part of Halloween is the parties when girls can dress like a total slut and…

Day 79 of 365 days. The worst part about parties is easily the clean-up the next day. Luckily, our trash pick-up day is Monday, so when we have a party on a Saturday its really convenient to be able to take all of the garbage right out to the curb that. Realized it had been…

Day 78 of 365 days. I’m just a little tad hungover. So today (well yesterday, by the time I posted this) was my Halloween party. Halloween Jam 2006. As with very costume party I ever throw, its my tradition to change outfits during the party and have multiple costumes. For 2006 I decided to portray…

Day 77 of 365 days. I said I would do a clone shot of myself until I had a good story to make it mean something. Today is that day. When I got home today I was dead tired. I’ve been doing a lot of work the last week plus a lot of shopping to…

Day 76 of 365 days. Decided it was time to go in a slightly different direction here. After all, the whole point is to push myself as an artist, right? So I got to thinking, what would be interesting that I have never tried before. And right there, Andy Warhol popped into my head. It…

Day 75 of 365 days. Sometimes this project is just harder than other times. I don’t know that this was a great idea in the first place, but I certainly thought it was an interesting angle, and I was intrigued by the idea of how I would pull it off. (The answer, mounting a monopod…

Day 74 of 365 days. This is actually more what I was thinking about doing for yesterday. I’m still skirting around with the concept of cloning and multiplicity, but not quite ready to make the jump yet. At least not for myself. I do have one really good idea, but that’s going to have to…

Day 73 of 365 days. Day 73. 20% through this project and still going strong. I really felt like I should have something awesome to commemorate the day, but its quarter til midnight and I’m STILL working. *sigh*. Why can’t I be a professional blogger? Or better yet, maybe I could be paid for bringing…

Day 72 of 365 days. I had been wondering what would happen if I ever took a really awful picture for this project. Would I post it? I guess so. I really didn’t have anything else to use. I had a wrestling show today in Ohio. I had this great idea that I would take…

Day 71 of 365 days. It was a long day today. We had to go hang out with Steph’s family to celebrate her grandfather’s birthday. So before that we went shopping to buy him a present, then spent several hours there, only to leave to go shopping for Halloween stuff. I have a crazy idea…

10-20-06

Day 70 of 365 days. I actually like this shot a lot. Its kind of weird as I wasn’t really feeling very creative today until I actually got in front of the camera. Then I really wanted to get something nice. I’m really starting to like the high contrast black and white pictures and I…

on blogging and beatings…

9-20-06 Originally uploaded by chrismaverick. so I was planning on writing this a couple days ago, but I kept being busy with other stuff. As events would happen, I’m glad I waited. As today I had reason to rethink things.So the thing I’ve been wondering about is how people decide what to and not to…

Day 69 of 365 days. Back to black and white. It was storming outside since this afternoon. And I thought GREAT! Because I keep wanting to get a good pic taken in a storm. unfortunately, by the time I got home from work it had both slowed up and was too dark to really get…

Day 68 of 365 days. Ever since I started this project, I had the idea that sooner or later I wanted to do a picture where I cloned myself. They’ve been quite popular on Flickr lately. But I didn’t want to do one just for the sake of doing one. I wanted to make sure…
