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…
Day 155 of 365 days. People keep saying they want to see more of my exciting life as a pro-wrestler. The problem is that most of it isn’t really all that exciting. And of the part that is really exciting, I haven’t found a way to take a great self-portrait while doing it yet. So…
Day 141 of 365 days. Do you know what one of the best parts about living with your girlfriend is. Nope, not the sex. It’s always having someone around to do fun things with. Like yesterday hanging out in the hottub, and today, a rousing game of Trivial Pursuit. Steph and I love Trivial Pursuit.…
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 136 of 365 days. So even in these dark days post Steelers loss to the Ravens, there must still be a Christmas. Spent the day with Steph’s family celebrating. I actually thought of taking a picture while opening presents, but I just never got around to setting up the tripod. Too much work. So…
Day 106 of 365 days. The worst part of the holiday season is the packing on of pounds. It starts with Thanksgiving dinner, moves through Christmas dinner and all the way to the drunken debauchery of New Years. Even on the non-important days like today, I end up doing silly stuff like going out shopping…
Day 103 of 365 days. One of my most favorite things in the whole wide world is my family’s rice pudding. I’ve loved it since I was a toddler. Imagine how surprised I was when I found out that when other people make rice pudding its actually, well, a pudding. My family makes a casserole…
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 92 of 365 days. Ever have one of those days where you feel trapped in your own life? I’m having one of those lives. Not that today was particularly bad. In fact, it was quite ok, got a lot of work done. Finished the long neglected plastering of my attic. Hung out with Steph…
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 84 of 365 days. If I titled my 365 days photos with anything other than just the date, I’d probably call this one Cloak of Darkness or something like that. Didn’t really have any grand ideas for today (unlike yesterday’s Kiss photo, which I had actually come up with a couple weeks ago, but…
Day 79 of 365 days. The worst part about parties is easily the clean-up the next day. Luckily, our trash pick-up day is Monday, so when we have a party on a Saturday its really convenient to be able to take all of the garbage right out to the curb that. Realized it had been…
Day 62 of 365 days. I had been meaning to make and entry in my blog about something I was thinking about all week. I had been putting it off and decided that I should write it up tonight. Which of course didn’t leave much time for self-portraiting. But then I figured, why not take…
Day 60 of 365 days. Back to black and white photos. Another Tuesday date night for steph and I. This time at Piper’s Pub, a little Scottish place on the Southside of Pittsburgh. If I had this shot to take over again, I’d probably adjust Steph’s ring so tht it was pointing more out towards…
Evelyn pretending she is too shy to get her picture taken. Which, if true, would be the first time in her entire four years on the planet.
