Day 1032 of 365 Again. Is it poker day? No, that can’t be right. It’s Monday. Actually this was an elaborate set-up for a shoot with Sarah one of my most favoritest models in the whole wide world. Sarah is moving to Philadelphia this week, so we spent the entire evening together trying to do…
Day 1026 of 365 Again. Really wanted to take a cool shot today since I "phoned it in" yesterday, but really, I just didn’t have anything in mind, so it was back to defaulting to mean looking shots in the studio. I kind of like this one. Note how I am titled in panel to…
Trix, a wrestling friend of mine, wanted sexy but tasteful pics to sell to her fans so she called me up and we did a shoot. Came up with some really good stuff. Even with no real previous modeling experience i think she did great.

Day 1022 of 365 Again. I really need to take better care of my studio. Sadly, like many creative people I am very sloppy. I really don’t mean to be. I just am. Always have been. But I’m working on it. Really I am. Spent a lot of the evening cleaning the studio. Cleaning the…
Day 1021 of 365 Again. Guess what I got today? My replacement 50mm lens This time I figured I ought to try it out right away. And what do you know? Works like a charm! Yeah, fascinating, I know. Also, I really need to shave more often. I look like hell. 365 days
Day 1019 of 365 Again. I live in Pittsburgh. If you live in Pittsburgh then you probably know that there was sort of important hockey game on tonight. They even won. You’re probably pretty happy. But even though I’ve lived here nearly half my life, I was actually born in Cleveland. I’m a Cavs fan,…
Day 1015 of 365 Again. Something I used to use my daily shots for a lot was testing lighting techniques. This one is something I want to use for a tarot card eventually, but haven’t found the right model for yet, and really haven’t perfected the style the way I want. I should definitely work…
Day 1008 of 365 Again. This is a ƒ/1.8 50mm fixed lens. It’s actually the third one I’ve owned. I’ve been thinking about investing in a better one (the ƒ/1.4 or even the ƒ/1.2), but honestly, given that I keep breaking them, it’s probably best that I stick with the cheap one. In other photography…
Day 1007 of 365 Again. There’s this guy who promotes his anti-identity theft company by posting his social security number on the web and announcing it in his commercials. It’s proof that he’s secure that his identity can’t be stolen. I have no such belief. In my case, it’s more that I’m just not sure…
The problem with taking years to complete a project like my Tarot Deck is that as time goes on I realize how unhappy I am with some of the earlier shots. This means I have to redo them, which means that the project takes even longer to complete.
The old Two of Coins has been on my list to reshoot for a long time, but it wasn’t actually my intention to use Lizz for the reshoot. In fact I had her pegged for the four of staffs, which wasn’t done yet at all. But after we shot that, she ended up liking one of the dresses in my model closet a lot (I have a wardrobe full of outfits for shoots) and once she tried it on, I decided she a great look for this card. Once I had edited it, I really felt like this was totally the way to go. I’m glad I did. Of course now I have to shoot the four of staffs yet again, but I’m pretty sure its worth it.
Day 999 of 365 Again. 1 day short of 1000. 1 shoot short of my 4 for the week. Lizz came over tonight to shoot her tarot card. We actually shot two, so now I’m in the weird place where I have to edit both and then decide which one I want to use. I…
Day 985 of 365 Again. I’m crushing your head! I’m crushing your head! Haha! I’m crushing your head. When you can’t think of anything exciting or original to say, just steal bits from tv shows that have been off the air for years. Who’s even gonna know? At least it’s kinda creative I guess. I’ve…
Day 984 of 365 Again. I’m actually not nearly as depressed today as I was yesterday. But I actually think the picture looks even more depressed. Actually I’m just tired. Beat really. After skimping out on workouts for the last week or so, I decided to start up again. The problem with that is that…
Day 983 of 365 Again. Someone told me tonight that you have to believe in the universe. That you have faith and everything will work out. It’s not that I don’t believe in the universe or god or anything like that. It’s that if one exists I think it’s clear that it doesn’t like me…
