Day 357 of 365 days. As this year of photos comes to a close you might notice that I am cramming in several of my back-up ideas I’ve had that I wanted to make sure are included in my book when its done. It was a pretty lazy friday. Mostly because it was too damn…

Day 293 of 365 days. Usually I’m not big on huge "everyone do this minichallenge this day" events. Mostly because I know there are people who pay attention to the Maverick 365 project that don’t pay attention to anyone else’s. And also because I have delusions of actually making a book and the mini challenges…

Day 282 of 365 days. So there I am, minding my own business, working on a shoot for the tarot project when all of a sudden, my studio was invaded by KGB shock troops who didn’t know the Cold War ended twenty years ago. There was much torture and pressure involved, utilizing a can of…

Liz came over to do her shoot for the Maverick Tarot set, where she is my Page of Swords. Never wanting to waste the opportunity at a good photoshoot with someone so babeliscious, we took a bunch of other shots as well.

Did the KGB have an equivalent of the USO? I really think this has the appeal of an old fashioned pinup shot… you know… accept the whole communist thing.

Liz came over to do her shoot for the Maverick Tarot set, where she is my Page of Swords. Never wanting to waste the opportunity at a good photoshoot with someone so babeliscious, we took a bunch of other shots as well.

This is a simple high key effect. I really like how well she blends into a white background. Obviously I do this trick with myself on black backgrounds a lot. But i like the alternate effect too.

Liz came over to do her shoot for the Maverick Tarot set, where she is my Page of Swords. Never wanting to waste the opportunity at a good photoshoot with someone so babeliscious, we took a bunch of other shots as well.

This was more of an outtake than anything else. I tend to talk and joke around with my models while I’m shooting. And sometimes I’ll snap a shot when they’re not really posing. Here’s Liz laughing and adjusting her shirt sleeve between poses.

Liz came over to do her shoot for the Maverick Tarot set, where she is my Page of Swords. Never wanting to waste the opportunity at a good photoshoot with someone so babeliscious, we took a bunch of other shots as well.

When we were doing her shoot, I took this half body shot and immediately said to her "you know, you’d make good desktop wallpaper." So I pulled this together and you know, I think I’m right.

Day 275 of 365 days. How in the name of all that is good and holy did people mow lawns before they invented hot tubs? I stayed up late last night working on my most recent tarot card.. I didn’t really intend to work on it all night, but once I got on a roll,…

Day 260 of 365 days. From sinful gothic glamour to cute family photos. Oh what a difference a day makes. My former roommates, Sam and Karen wanted me to take a family portrait for them today, so they came over to sit in the studio with their two kids. Sadly I couldn’t get Ted to…

Day 256 of 365 days. Part of me wonders if I am starting to lose my mind without having a day job. I was at every end of the multidimensional extreme today. I had about an hour of misery and uselessness as I fell into despair thinking I’m never going to find anything to pay…

Day 242 of 365 days. What with being constantly sick and then having a trip to that conference in Boston and then being constantly sick again, it occurred to me that I really hadn’t done anything superinteresting or fun for this project in a while. In a lot of ways I felt like I was…

Day 219 of 365 days. I’m always amazed at the kinds of toys kids have today. How much cooler they are than "back in my day." But the really odd thing about kids is how they can be amused by very simple things that maybe grown-ups take for granted. Steph and I went to a…

Day 212 of 365 days. One of my earliest ideas was to do a fetal position pic in this project. I just never really got around to it. Funny because it seemed like a really obvious backup picture to do. Turns out, not so much. First of all, I’m neurotic and certainly couldn’t just lay…

Day 208 of 365 days. I had been meaning to do this shot for a while. Ever since the lovely and talented (take that Amber :-P) Sassyshannon999 made her Inspired by the Film group. It suddenly occurs to me that Scarface is not among my 519 DVDs. Clearly that is some sort of oversight that…
