Day 1: 1-1-12

Day 1 of the New Era Once upon a time, I saw a photo by a man named Stephen Poff who was attempting to take a self-portrait every day for an entire year. It inspired me to do the same. Mostly, I just loved the challenge of it. Stephen had admitted that he’d even missed…

New tarot card! And the first one I’ve done with a guy in quite a while. I can’t believe this is the 79th I’ve done. If it weren’t for me redoing some I’d be done.

No worries. I’m happy with what I have.

This one features JP Crawford (MM#1498468), a model from DC who drove up just to be a part of the projet.

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 1256 of 365 4 lyf. So yesterday, I dedicated my photo to the Human Target since it was premiering. But today, I figure I might as well dedicate my photo to 24 which had night one of its two night premiere right afterwards. Night two was tonight of course. Now excuse me while I…

Day 1254 of 365 4 lyf. Sigh… I hate when I have a good idea that will never be very popular on flickr. Oh well. So pop quiz for the photographers out there, who knows what’s going on here? It’s actually cooler than it probably looks. 365 days

Day 1198 of 365 4 lyf. So I take a lot of studio shots for 365s, but a lot of them are lazy really. Standard lighting. Just go in there and shoot against the backdrop. Save to computer. Minimal editing. Upload and done. This may look like that to casual eye, but it’s really so…

Day 1180 of 365 4 lyf. I need a bigger lens. Like a 2000mm lens. I’ve thought about purchasing one a few times. But on the other hand, I could just buy a car. I don’t even have a good use for one. But I could take pictures of the moon. I love taking pictures…

Day 1179 of 365 4 lyf. plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose Do you know what I was doing 1096 days ago? Exactly this. Do you know what I was doing 4017 days ago? Pretty much the same thing. Steph and I have been together for 11 years today. Only six more payments…

Day 1160 of 365 4 lyf. Ok, yeah. I know no one cares about the Photoshop.com app and my silly little iphone pictures, but I’m totally fascinated by it. There’s so little you can do with it, and I’m obsessed with trying to make it as cool as possible. Ok, maybe tomorrow I’ll try to…

Day 1117 of 365 Again. Tired and burned out and didn’t feel like taking a picture. I really need to get back on the inspiration kick. What do other people do when they’re burnt out. I used to be able to pull myself out after a few days, but I feel like I’ve been in…

Day 1116 of 365 Again. Another Monday, and I’m back at work. Was late today because apparently I ran something over and punctured a tire so I had to go to the shop to get that patched first. Spent a busy day at work, which much like any other day at work just saps all…

Day 1101 of 365 Again. Five days in to the new set and I’m already defaulting to backup pictures. Sad. So very very sad. Sometimes I don’t know where the weekends go. I got a lot done this weekend. Both with the comic and with photography stuff for zivity. I got my fantasy football draft…

Day 1099 of 365 Again. I think I’m mostly over my flu. Mostly. I don’t really feel sick anymore, and I’m no longer sneezing, but I do have a crapton of phlegm in my lungs and I have a killer headache, probably from coughing non-stop for the past 4 days. But I’m getting better…. and…

Day 1096 of 365 Again. Today was the last day of my third year of 365. The previous two years I wrote big long retrospectives about what was on my mind. This year I forgot until almost 10 o’clock. I got quoted about the project in an Orlando newspaper this week and the reporter mentioned…
