9-19-07 Originally uploaded by chrismaverick. If you are a regular reader of 365mav you might note that there was no update yesterday. I did not quit. Flickr decided that I hadn’t been moderating my content appropriately, so they marked my account as “moderate”. Which essentially means I don’t show up in public searches. My photos…
Day 404 of 365 More. If a photographer posts in the middle of flickr and there is no one there to see it, has he really posted? I kind of feel like no. So we’re now past 24 hours of me being marked moderate on flickr and casual viewers not being able to see my…
Day 403 of 365 More. Flickr giveth and flickr taketh away. To my surprise, three days ago, My Winnie the Pooh picture which I honestly thought was kind of lame soared all the way up to #8 on explore. Today, I am suddenly flagged as unsafe. I have no idea why. Yes, I do post…
Day 402 of 365 More. Peanut butter and jelly. The food of the gods. PB&J was my favorite lunch growing up and continues to be my favorite late night snack today. Long day at work today, but I think I may be starting to settle in. I hope anyway. Did another tarot shoot when I…
Weird thing about this whole being an artist gig. When I was at a friends wedding the other day, I got introduced to a model and we started talking about the Tarot project and she instantly wanted to do it. So we swapped numbers and here we are, the first tarot card I’ve finished in a while.
I was worried about this one actually, as per all coin cards, it had to be sepia, but as per the concept of three cards, it had to be a mirror or clone shot. I was worried that the sepia against the B&W of a cup card would be too weird, but I actually kind of like it. It really kind of gives me the yin yang sense that I’m trying to pull off with the threes.
Day 401 of 365 More. Today could have been a day filled with much photography. Instead it was filled with very little. Got up and watched the Steelers game with Steph, Max, and Tommy. Afterwards, Steph was heading out to dinner with her family, but I couldn’t go because I had a photoshoot scheduled with…
Day 400 of 365 More. Wow… 400 days. I can’t believe I’ve been doing this for 400 days. Today was wooble’s daughter, Zoë’s first birthday. Steph and I went over there for a birthday bash of cake and beer. I wonder if I had beer at my first birthday party. Anyway, Zoë is a big…
Day 399 of 365 More. One week down, 32 years to go. Oh good god. Actually, it really wasn’t that bad. I’m just tired. Hopefully, I’ll get used to this soon and get back into the swing of things. In the meantime, I have the weekend to hopefully get over this cold and do my…
Day 398 of 365 More. I used to joke that I was allergic to work. I’m starting to wonder if it might be true. I was amazingly healthy all summer. Not a cold. Not a headache. I was fine. But I’ve been coughing and wheezing all day today. Now my nose is stuffed up, my…
Day 397 of 365 More. It doesn’t look like much, does it? This is the scene of a crime. Repeat crimes, actually. A crime I hope to someday catch in the act. Steph and I have a two car garage, but we don’t have our own driveway. Well, not really. Actually, five houses on our…
Day 396 of 365 More. Well, I survived the first day, but I’m exhausted. And I really didn’t do much "work" per se. Just a lot of set-up stuff. But hopefully I’ll get used to it all soon. The office is nice, as are all the people I work with, and I’m sure I’ll feel…
Day 395 of 365 More. So today I made the decision to accept an offer from what I was calling company #2. I was holding out a bit for company #1 to see what their offer was, but they still weren’t ready to make me one yet, and I like company #2 better anyway, so…
Day 394 of 365 More. Steph and I barely saw each other this weekend. I dropped her off at her parents yesterday for her bike thing, and then I was gone to a wrestling show by the time she got home today I was already gone. So I left watching the season opener a little…
Day 393 of 365 More. Woke up crazy early this morning (well, ok, 8am, but its a fucking Saturday) to take Steph to her parents house so that she can do some kind of charity bike ride. Sixty miles over two days sounds insane until you realize that her father and sister are doing the…
