Day 842 of 365 Again. I’m doing better today. But still not great. It’s not often that after a 4 day vacation I can’t wait to get back to work. But sometimes you just need that daily routine to remind you that your days have purpose. Tomorrow is another day. 365 days

Day 840 of 365 Again. Black Friday! It’s funny. Black Friday isn’t nearly as scary as it used to be. Steph refused to go out shopping with me, because she believes the hype that you hear on the news. People being trampled to death or shooting each other at a toy store. But really, these…

Day 839 of 365 Again. Happy Thanksgiving, everyone! Went to Steph’s brother’s house for Thanksgiving dinner. Was what it was, sat around and ate turkey. But got to see something cooler than that. Steph’s niece has pet butterflies. This is interesting mostly because it never occurred to me before that anyone would ever keep butterflies…

Day 838 of 365 Again. I’m going out 2 nights in a row. It’s like I’m in my 20s again or something. Actually it feels nice. I hate having to feel like a grown-up all the time. Last night there was the bar, for open mic night, and tonight Steph and I went out to…

Day 837 of 365 Again. Some days it’s so nice to get out. I had been working around the clock lately. Either on the comic, or my job or trying to finish editing photoshoot photos. It was just time to take a break. I’ve mentioned before that my friends plays an open stage at a…

Day 836 of 365 Again. Stayed up late tonight working on editing the photos from that shoot the other day. They’re looking for a quick turnaround (in fact looking at the literature they expected I’d be mailing them a CD the next day) but I just don’t work that fast. I guess I could just…

Day 835 of 365 Again. Wheee! It’s lazy photo day. Exciting, isn’t it? Was too tired to do much of anything today. Didn’t even leave the house. Spent the morning working on photos from yesterdays ubermegashoot and then in the evening I switched over to working on the comic. Didn’t get around to taking a…

Day 834 of 365 Again. Ok, never doing that again. Of course I didn’t mean to do it this time. So a photography studio in Philadelphia outsourced a group glamour shoot to me. 31 models. A few headshots a piece. Fifteen minutes each. I got them to hire on a makeup artist friend of mine…

Day 833 of 365 Again. All packed up. Tomorrow is my big shoot. The largest (non-wedding) I’ve ever done. It’s all headshots, and all quick sittings – about 15 minutes a person – definitely should be interesting. Packed up my studio tonight, along with all the gear the company sent me and some of my…

Day 832 of 365 Again. So the people I’m doing the shoot for that I mentioned yesterday sent me a care package. A box full of props that they use i the shoots. Among other things, this includes a crapload of feather boas. Damn I’m pretty. 365 days

11-19-08

Day 831 of 365 Again. So I have a photography gig this weekend shooting some glamour shots for a church group about an hour outside of town. I took that as an opportunity to pick up some more backdrops. Something I’d been wanting to do for a while. Wedding last weekend, shoot this weekend. I’m…

Day 830 of 365 Again. I think I should get a personal assistant. I’m really just no good on my own. I have my brain all full of crap like my day job and my photography career and seducing hollywood starlets and building deathrays that sometimes I get mixed up and lose track of stuff.…
