Day 139 of 365 days. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Maverick knows. The creative process is an interesting thing. I actually set out to make a black and white with this shot. I placed my lights so that I’d have nice heavy darks and hard contrast with my backdrop.…
Day 107 of 365 days. I’ve been doing a lot of day in the life shots lately. In fact, in the last few days I’ve done two shots of me eating. I actually considered doing a shot of me installing Steph’s new car stereo. I took one shot, didn’t like it, and decided that I…
Day 102 of 365 days. Sometimes during this project one of those days comes along where I just really want to show a mundane part of my life. This is about as mundane as it gets. I got a call from a customer service telemarketer type. You know the ones, "Hello Mr. Maverick, we’d like…
Day 97 of 365 days. Another day where I didn’t really have a strong idea in mind and decided to just go down to the studio and see what struck me. I’m actually beginning to kind of like those kinds of shots. I go downstairs and look around and see if I get any bolts…
Day 94 of 365 days. This is something I had been meaning to try for a while. Kind of the opposite of something I had been doing for a while. Pi c’s had recommended it when she saw some of my pictures where I faded into the black background. This is my attempt to fade…
Day 91 of 365 days. Another one of those days where I really didn’t feel like doing anything exciting so I kind of used one of my fall back ideas. I actually kind of like how this turned out. It was kind of inspired by those old jeans and dockers commercials. One thing I want…
Day 86 of 365 days. This project is great in many ways and very tiring in many ways. The nice thing is that I am learning a lot and I really think Im growing as a photographer. The bad part is that it gets very monotonous just working with myself as a model all of…
Day 83 of 365 days. Today was the 8th anniversary of my first date with Steph. We celebrate it as any married couple would celebrate their anniversary. Its just that we never really bothered to get married. We’re quite content to just be living in sin. Really, we’ll fix that any day now. Anyway, we…
Day 34 of 365 days. The seventh and final day of Bringing Back the Sexy. Sometimes its really nice to feel like I have my 365 pic done early and I just don’t have to worry about it the entire next day. I guess I’ll be kinda disappointed if I happen upon doing something really…
Day 33 of 365 days. And for the sixth day of me Bringing Back the Sexy. Ok, here’s how addicted I am to this project. This is how my day went this morning: Thought of an idea late last night (2am). Didn’t feel like setting it up before I went to bed. Steph wakes me…
Day 32 of 365 days. And for the fifth day of me Bringing Back the Sexy, I decided to go in a little bit of a different direction. I wanted to make sure there was at least one more natural candid kind of shot, even if it isn’t quite as SEXY™ as some of the…
Day 31 of 365 days. And so I’ve last a whole month. Only 11 more to go. Some of its been hard. Some easy, but its definitely been fun. And this is the fourth day of me Bringing Back the Sexy. I actually had this mirror idea, or versions of it much earlier in the…
by popular demand, this is the photo from the back of my 365 day portrait for 9-11-06.
I like the shot, but it didn’t tell the story of "many views and angles" that I was trying to tell with the mirrors. Or at least that was my thought. I’m curious as to how people think it compares to the more busy finished piece.
Day 30 of 365 days. And the third day of my attempt to Bring Sexy Back. First of all, I am absolutely totally astounded that I made it this far, and remarkably I don’t even want to quit. Even though there are days like today when I just don’t really feel like putting energy into…
Day 29 of 365 days. And the second day of my attempt to Bring Sexy Back. Sexy may be harder to return than I hoped. Spent over an hour this morning (much to Steph’s dismay) trying to get this shot. Wanted to use natural light, but as I was out at a party late last…
