Day 1131 of 365 Again. I was telling someone recently about the beginnings of 365 and it got me all nostalgic for the good old days. It’s kinda weird. When the movement first started getting popular a lot of people wanted me to cap the group off at 100 members or 365 members. They felt…

Day 653 of 365 More.

Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery… or something like that.

Today was kinda productive, yet not very memorable. Finished yet another Cosmic Hellcats comic and got it posted. Mowed the lawn. Worked on some other stuff. Watched a movie. Nothing terribly interesting.

I had no good idea for a shot today, so I fell back on what all great artist do. I stole. I once had a professor who said "never borrow an idea, always steal. Because that way you make it your own." As such, I decided to steal a concept from the lovely and talented like_shipwrecks. I actually saw the shot and immediately knew I’d copycat it at some point. I just didn’t know it would be so soon. Oh well. Thanks for the idea, ‘Ship!

That’s about it for today, I guess. You want more of me, go read my comic. It’s funny.

Day 637 of 365 More. One of my all-time favorite photographers on flickr is Jack Scoresby. So when we proposed the copycat challenge for the 365 Days podcast, I knew that I’d probably pick one of his. Thinking about it last night, I decided to try my hand at one of my all time favorite…

Day 584 of 365 More. Finished the first chapter (8 pages) of the comic tonight. Now 2 chapters (16 pages) to go. It’s a lot of work but I’ll get there. That said, the late nights and long hours are starting to get to me. I just feel tired. And I know what you’ll all…

Day 500 of 365 More. 500 days ago, I saw Stephen Poff’s Superman picture and it inspired me to start the 365 Days project. Back then i never knew that it would eventually change my life and the lives of so many others. I like to mark big milestones in this project with big posts…

Day 128 of 365 days. (This is sort of an unintentional copycat of sorts of Sick Little Monkey’s pic from yesterday. I ‘ve had the idea to do it for a few days now, but I had more time sensitive pics the last couple days. Originally this was planned to be the shot from the…

Day 105 of 365 days. Believe it or not, this is not a computer generated image. It is in fact a self portrait of me. I was looking for something different to do and then I started thinking about the picture from Stephen Poff that got me started in the 365 days journey in the…

Day 68 of 365 days. Ever since I started this project, I had the idea that sooner or later I wanted to do a picture where I cloned myself. They’ve been quite popular on Flickr lately. But I didn’t want to do one just for the sake of doing one. I wanted to make sure…

Day 67 of 365 days. I actually kind of had this idea on my own, but then I saw that someone else had done it as well, so this is a www.flickr.com/groups/365days/discuss/72157594296835641. I had been thinking of doing this for the last week or so. I just hadn’t had a good moment to really sit…

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…

Day 46 of 365 days. I actually had a half baked idea of doing this a couple weeks ago, but I never really knew where to go with it. Then randomly, sadandbeautiful went and made her own version last week which impressed me quite a bit and made me want to make sure that I…

Day 45 of 365 days. As much as I like the 400D better than my old G3, I gotta say that its a lot easier to take a self portrait with the older camera. I never really used the LCD screen when photographing other stuff, but it was always useful if I wanted to shoot…
