1-4-08 Originally uploaded by chrismaverick. so, if you’ve been following 365mav, then you probably already know that I collected the first year of self-portraits together in a nice little coffee table book, which everybody should totally buy because, like I want to be famous and stuff.Anyway, playing with blurb and self-publishing, I found that I…
Day 524 of 365 More. I had this really great idea for the 365 Podcast. I wanted to do a tutorial on creating well toned black and white pictures. Easy enough to do, film myself taking today’s self portrait, while narrating, then just use some screen recording software to record myself processing it in photoshop.…
Day 523 of 365 More. I’ve decided to give up photography. I’m also giving up design. From now on I’m going to be a hedonistic billionaire playboy and an avenging vigilante by night. My training has begun, and now I’m in need of a disguise. Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot. So, my disguise…
Day 522 of 365 More. Four days. That’s all that’s left to my show. I’m actually feeling pretty good about it. I got my prints back today, and I even made a Black and Light gallery on Elseworld on the off chance that someone who isn’t going to the show would like to buy a…
Day 521 of 365 More. Well, I definitely feel a lot better now. I got a full night of sleep. I woke up and even shaved for once (been skipping it the last week or so, which is another reason I’ve looked so rough). Of course I still had to do a full day of…
Day 520 of 365 More. So I slept in today. Anyone who has been paying attention the last couple weeks probably knows that I seriously needed it. I woke up to hear hammer and dropping things and cursing and came downstairs to discover Steph putting together the new bookshelf that we bought the other day.…
Day 519 of 365 More. Well, I guess I’m done. Was supposed to have two different photoshoots this weekend, both of which I was going to include in the Black and Lights show. Both were cancelled for different reasons. It’s probably fine. I ended up spending over $200 on prints, and I’m pretty happy with…
I loved this one shot from the Jameel and Stu photoshoot so much that I decided it had to be the Lovers card. While on one hand it’s nice to have another card done for the deck, it kind of sucks that now I have to redo both of their previous cads, Wheel of Fortune and The Tower. Bt really, I guess it’s for the best. I want the deck to look as good as possible, and this one is just perfect.
Day 518 of 365 More. One of my professors back in school used to tell me that the secret to good writing was to kill your darlings. It’s a good lesson, but its one of the hardest things to do. The same seems to be true for art. With yesterdays’s posts, I’m halfway through the…
Decided it was long past time I posted some more cards. I wonder if people even remember that I was doing this. Anyway, I had shot a couple more cards in some of my last few photoshoots but been holding off on dealing with them since I had so much else going on. I thought it was high time I put them up though.
I never met Leann before the day I shot her. She had heard about the projeet and wanted to be a part of it. But once I started shooting her, the exact way her hair was, her tattoos and even her body just screamed to me that I had found my Justice card.

This one was shot during my shoot with Dyllan. She had wanted to be a part of the Tarot project almost since I started it. And as she was moving away, I figured it was one of our last chances. Dyllan is a singer, and so choosing her to use a microphone as a staff seemed totally obvious.
Day 517 of 365 More. I guess my eyes aren’t that bloodshot, are they? They certainly feel like it. I feel like I haven’t slept in a month. But I think I’m done. Or more or less anyway. I was hoping to have as many as three photoshoots this weekend. One I never got scheduled…
Day 516 of 365 More. I’m catching up. I finally finished editing the Jameel and Stu pics for the Black and Light project. Tomorrow, I’ll hopefully get a few Tarot cards posted, and then I’ve got some more shooting to do this weekend. Still don’t have a tutorial for this weeks podcast and unless I…
Day 515 of 365 More. I’m feeling a little better today. I’m still overworked. I’m still exhausted. But, I’m feeling a bit better about it. I’m almost caught up on the shoots I’ve done so far for the lights show, and should be finishing the rest of them up tomorrow. Then maybe I’ll finish a…
stu and jameel black and light 2 Originally uploaded by chrismaverick. I was invited to do another photography show at the Creative Treehouse. This time the theme is “light” and I’ve been taking pictures for a photoset there. I’d like to invite anyone who’s going to be in Pittsburgh on Jan. 19th to come out…
