Day 1268 of 365 4 lyf. I love the iphone camera. It’s not "good" per se, but It’s funny, my very first digital camera was 3 megapixels. Basically the same thing that comes in the iPhone, and frankly that they give away in boxes of crackerjacks. I had a lot of fun with that camera…

Day 1267 of 365 4 lyf. Welcome to a Pittsburgh winter. Had a shoot tonight in an "undisclosed location" with Trixie. It was 8 degrees outside and I was quite happy to be out of it when we were done. Now see sooner or later she’s gonna come in here and complain about how she…

This one is special. Trixie (MM#1534372) and I had wanted to enter another Zivity contest. This one was "what I wanted to be." Since I know her through prowrestling, it was kinda a gimmie. We went to a friend’s training facility and shot this set. A different kinda glamour. Dark, dingy, it was 8 degrees outside and the room was unheated. But if you love something, you make sacrifices. The full set was posted to Zivity yesterday but this is a sample.

I was actually quite worried about this one, given how gritty and down and dirty it was. Everything from lighting to processing was different from the kind of stuff I normally do. But so far, it’s been pretty well received. So anyway, go check it out.

Day 1266 of 365 4 lyf. Borrowed some wrestling masks for a photoshoot. You know, I’ve been wrestling for like seven years now but I’ve never worn a mask for match. Not really anyway, I wore one for one show when i was in disguise, but took it off before I did anything. I don’t…

Day 1265 of 365 4 lyf. Steph’s got this thing where she likes to try to make sure I eat healthy. This means she’s constantly trying to get me to eat salads and stuff like that for dinner. The problem is, salads aren’t dinner, dammit. But soup is. Or at least this one is. Nice…

Day 1264 of 365 4 lyf. Between flickr, twitter, facebook and every day contact I’ve gotten a large outpouring of support over being unemployed again. I just want to say thank you. And people asked how they can help. Well, you can always buy a print (if there’s something you want that’s not up there…

Day 1263 of 365 4 lyf. Lost my job today. I had actually been kinda expecting it for a while. It’s weird, this whole internet thing. I didn’t want to come out and say "I’m not happy with my job" but I dunno, i think anyone close to me would pick up on it. So…

Day 1262 of 365 4 lyf. Worked on the comic all night. About 30 seconds to midnight, Trixie IM’d me and asked if I’d taken a picture. I hadn’t. That’s the closest I’ve ever come to forgetting. But now… 1,262 days… record still intact. 365 days
