Day 226 of 365 days. You know, I almost want to call this a bringing sexy back pic? What do you people think? I got to sleep in today. It was nice and I needed it. After I finally did get up, I did a little bit of the moving from our current bedroom to…
Day 225 of 365 days. Got home just before midnight last night from a wrestling show, after not really sleeping the night before. Went to sleep and now I’m off to another show that I won’t be home from til 2am probably. Sometimes this hobby is more demanding than a "real" job. I suppose I…
Day 224 of 365 days. At long last we’re finished. Well, almost. Steph and I had a new carpet installed in our attic today. After over two years of living in our house, our bedroom is finally done. Well, sort of. Now that there’s carpet, the doors don’t quite fit anymore, so we need to…
I’m still not convinced I’m going to keep doing this. Does anyone even care? But anyway, I’m up to 18.

Day 223 of 365 days. Ever since I convinced Steph to do her own 365 project, she’s been appearing in mine less and less. Technically, she was in the background of my 3-17-07 just heavily bokehed, but i figured it was about time I actually included her more directly. Plus, hey, if it gets me…
Day 222 of 365 days. Had my second interview with a company today (third if you count the phone interview I did first) and it seemed to go well. They probably want me to meet with another person next week. I actually kind of like the job, but really I’ll be kinda upset if I’ve…
For the Class With Dave group. Assignment: Black and White architecture. This is a repeat assignment from earlier. My original version of this assignment was a much more standard, though high contrast B&W night scene, so I decided to go with something more creative and different from what I normally do. This was shot in the afternoon on the University of Pittsburgh campus. In order to get more fantastic and less realistic tones, I used a combination of Channel Mixer, Curves and Levels adjustment layers with layer masks.
Channel Mixer:
Red: +40 Green: +180 Blue: -100
Levels 1:
input Black: 10 Gray: 1.00 White: 233
output Black: 0 White: 255
with a layer mask blocking out the right (bright) side of the sky.
Curves (input,output):
0,0 41,90 168,141 197,181 228,137 255,255
with a layer mask blocking out the building and the tree
Levels 2:
input: Black: 0 Gray: 1.24 White: 255
output Black: 0 White: 255
3-7-07 Originally uploaded by chrismaverick. So, in the midst of my 365 Days project (avaliable for viewing on LiveJournal at 365mav – cheap plug), I got into a discussion as to what the better movie is between Scarface and The Matrix. I am of the opinion that while I am actually a big fan of…
Day 221 of 365 days. I had been wanting to do another bodyscaping style pic, and this weeks Class with Dave assignment kind of gave me the excuse to do so. It also meant that I had to go downstairs and lift some before taking the shot, something that I have been seriously neglecting (and…

Day 220 of 365 days. I had made up my mind yesterday to do a Matrix picture today. For a couple reasons. One, I enjoyed my Scarface poster from the other day. And also, this weeks Class With Dave assignment was to do a Matrix inspired picture. Unfortunately, I didn’t have a very strong idea.…
Day 219 of 365 days. I’m always amazed at the kinds of toys kids have today. How much cooler they are than "back in my day." But the really odd thing about kids is how they can be amused by very simple things that maybe grown-ups take for granted. Steph and I went to a…
Day 218 of 365 days. Three days of color in a row. It’s been a long time since I did that. And Max is still out of the country so I can’t even brag to him about it. Had a busy day today and no time to really come up with any thing crazy. Finally…
As far as I can tell, I’ve had 65 pics in explore at one time or another (at least that I’ve caught in Scout), but this is the most I’ve ever had in at once. Maybe I’ll update this anytime I notice that I’ve reached a new high.
Of course, I’m sure tomorrow I’ll drop down to four or something.
