Day 551 of 365 More. It was one of those days. Woke up this morning to see the ground completely covered with snow. Decided that it was probably a good idea to leave for work early, just in case. I didn’t get very far. Apparently in the wee hours of the morning, they tried to…

Day 542 of 365 More. It’s been quite a while since I did a superhero pic. I didn’t have a good idea for today, I figured it was a good day to bust out the old photoshop skills. Maybe I should do a tutorial about this kinda thing some day on the 365 Podcast. Of…

King of Swords

King of Swords

I always love when i get the chance to work with someone who’s not a model. Most people seem to think that they don’t photograph well. But I think that given the right circumstance and concept, anyone can be great.

Doc is the bouncer at the Tennyson, and had seen some of the other tarot cards and was telling me how much he liked them. I looked at him for a moment and then knew that he’d be great for the King of Swords. He has just the kind of imposing and menacing frame that really suits what I wanted for this card.

The shoot was easy and straightforward and I think turned out exactly right.

Day 356 of 365 days. Sometimes I don’t know what I should wear for a 365 shot. This is your chance to decide with me. All you have to do is take a handy pair of scissors (kids, make sure you use adult supervision) and cut out each outfit and you can dress me however…

Jack of Swords

Jack of Swords

The third completed card in my tarot card series.

Shiima as the Jack of Swords. Commonly called a knight. I decided to rename them to Jacks for the same reason they call them Jacks instead of Knaves on the modern playing card deck. Namely, that K is the same letter for King. I’m still not positive on that. But its growing on me. I’m also of still of the opinion that the lens flare is a bit cheesy, but I think it adds something to the effect. Opinions?

Damsel: Assassin

Damsel: Assassin

The other day, I did a photoshoot with the lovely and talented Damsel. It was the first time I shot her, but she did a great job and I can’t wait to do it again.

I’ve decided to start posting the photos as I finish them instead of waiting for the entire set to be done.

Day 145 of 365 days. When I first started this project I had very real concerns as to whether or not I’d be able to hit every single day for a year. I was very much afraid that I would conk out and just stop caring after a week. Now, 145 days in, taking a…

Day 118 of 365 days. (Stephen and Jack, this is another one you might enjoy) One might be able to gather from several other pictures in this project that I am a comic book fan. Even if I weren’t a comic book fan, I would hope that I would still have had the foresight in…

Day 54 of 365 days. It’s Wednesday and that makes it new comic book day. Phantom of the Attic is my local comic book shot and I have been shopping there for 14 years. There’s not much of a story here, but since going to the store once a week is such a big part…

9-27-06

Day 47 of 365 days. Initially, I had another idea for today. An original one, not a copy cat, but then I got all wrapped up in dealing with an issue on my blog. For those who don’t know, I’m a pretty avid blogger, and I write about a whole bunch of things, from my…
