Sarah is a model who contacted me when she saw another model’s pics I’d taken. She had the perfect look to be one of my pages for the Maverick Tarot, but as with lots of the other models I’ve worked with, I decided it’d be a good idea to take some other shots too.
I got tons of great shots with Sarah, and I’m sure I’ll be posting more in the coming days.
Day 342 of 365 days. Steph and I finally got our Who Wants to be a Millionaire. We will not be appearing on the show as a couple or individually. Honestly I wasn’t really expecting much, but it’s really par for the course. Now I’m getting GFYs from TV game shows. I did manage to…
Day 329 of 365 days. Easy come, easy go. So the job that I was going to have to travel to Boston for went away about 2 hours after I signed the contract. They asked me if I wanted a different local job and I took an hour to think about it, then called them…
Like most of my recent models, I met Laurie on Model Mayhem. I actually saw her as a preppy staff card type for my Tarot Set, but she told me she really wanted to try to be one of the sword cards. The more I talked to her, the more I liked the idea of using her there. She has a very versatile look and that ended up being perfect for the idea of the 3 cards, a reflection of the one suit in another.

Day 299 of 365 days. Tiring day. Hung out with Steph in the morning, then took her to get her rental car so she could drive to DC on business for the rest of the week. That leaves me with pretty much nothing to do. For the rest of the night. I was going to…
Spent the day with my friend Cheryl who is visiting from Seattle. Obviously no one can visit me without doing a photoshoot. So this is the first of the shots that I have processed of her. More to come when we’re done hanging out.
Back before I was a bum (errr… starving artist), I used to be a pretty decent user interface (UI) designer. Cheryl was my intern. Over the years she’s become a really good friend. These days, Cheryl lives in Seattle where she designs video games for Nintendo Gameboys (right now she’s doing Shrek 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 3). She’s also one of the voices in the game the crazy successful Sims video games (she’s a little easier to understand in real life). So whenever you play a video game, keep in mind that it might not exist were it not for my supremely excellent mentoring skills.
Day 245 of 365 days. TGIF. It kinda loses something when you don’t have a job. Oh well. Spent the morning working on my new website, which hopefully I’ll have done in a week or so. Then spent the afternoon cleaning the old bedroom/new studio. I’m so awful at cleaning. I’m getting it done, but…
Day 217 of 365 days. I was looking through my previous pictures earlier and just enjoying seeing where I’ve been and what I’ve done, and I realized that I hadn’t really done a simple portrait in quite a while. I’ve just been taking shots that were somehow related to my day and talking about that.…
Did a photoshoot with Theresa the other day. It was the first time she modeled for me (or anyone) but I think she did great. She’s quite animated and about the friendliest person ever.
The final outfit from the shoot was borrowed from me. Theresa has a very tomboyish look that is adorable and sexy at the same time. So I let her borrow my basketball jersey and a pair of boxers. I think it worked out quite well for her. I’m not giving up on lingerie, but this was a nice switch for a change.

Day 181 of 365 days. I originally actually had a different idea for today’s shot but I never got to it because I was busy thinking about my next photo project. Rather than just rush to finish my highly photoshop intensive idea and do a substandard job, I decided to take a picture detailing my…
Day 174 of 365 days. Such a long day. Its amazing how much stuff I end up having to do while I’m unemployed. Paid bills, and did some more culling through yesterday’s photoshoot. Went to the store to buy a new spot light lamp and some other things, and came home and worked out. If…
The other day, I did a photoshoot with the lovely and talented Liz. 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 162 of 365 days. Kind of a lazy day today. My headache never entirely faded so I mostly laid on the couch and played video games all day, taking an exciting break to play trivial pursuit with Steph and have dinner. We were actually planning on going out to a friends place, but then…
Day 161 of 365 days. Wow. I never noticed how much darker my face was than my hands before. I wonder if that’s normal. I had a wrestling show tonight. Unlike my last show, which was 4 hours away, this one is only 30 minutes away. The problem was that I just didn’t feel like…
I’ve been continuing to use my time on unemployment to work on my photography. My friend Nicki was nice enough to stop by and model for me. I did my best to make her look like a Maxim covergirl. Luckily half the job was done just by her walking in the door.
