Day 398 of 365 More. I used to joke that I was allergic to work. I’m starting to wonder if it might be true. I was amazingly healthy all summer. Not a cold. Not a headache. I was fine. But I’ve been coughing and wheezing all day today. Now my nose is stuffed up, my…
Day 388 of 365 More. I’ve been in a dreary mood today. I have no idea why. Honestly it was kind of a good day. Had a Labor Day BBQ with various friends from complete different social circles, which always makes for an interesting evening. Finally found out yesterday that I didn’t get the job…
Sarah was nice enough to volunteer to pose for the Tarot deck when she was visiting last week. The second she volunteered, I knew exactly what card I wanted to use her for. I love the tattoo on her shoulder and she has just enough hair to obscure her face in mystery and make a perfect High Priestess. Originally I was thinking of adding some background elements like I did with some of the other cards, but as I was finishing up, I felt like that would have been doing too much. I remembered why I went for the cold black backgrounds in the first place. Not to distract from the model. Just let her create the mood alone.
Comments and criticism welcome and encouraged as always.
Day 333 of 365 days. In case you’re wondering, we actually have central air in our house, but Steph won’t let me use it until I have a job. Actually, once I do, I expect she’ll continue to not let me use it because of something about saving the environment or something. *shrug* Anyway, its…
Day 301 of 365 days. I’m not really anywhere near as depressed as I probably look in this picture. If anything, I’m actually more kind of tired. I really didn’t do much of anything today. My friends who were hanging out last night left this morning, and I alternated between taking naps and cleaning most…
Day 269 of 365 days. The worse my "professional" life gets, the better my photography life gets. I could totally get used to this if I could just turn a profit. I’ve got 5 photoshoots scheduled in the next 2 weeks for the Tarot project, plus I’ve talked to 5 other models today or yesterday…
Day 222 of 365 days. Had my second interview with a company today (third if you count the phone interview I did first) and it seemed to go well. They probably want me to meet with another person next week. I actually kind of like the job, but really I’ll be kinda upset if I’ve…
Day 211 of 365 days. You know its a lazy weekend day when its basically the evening before you even bother to shower. Steph and I spent the day lounging around the house and playing sudoku before we finally ordered chinese food and got showered to go to a party. I had been wanting to…
Day 200 of 365 days. How much a part of my life has this project become? This is day 200 and I didn’t even realize that til I was posting. So I didn’t think to plan anything special or huge or vainglorious. It was just another day in my life and I took a picture…
Day 199 of 365 days. There was actually a lot I wanted to get around to doing today. Working on some photo editting. Working on my paper for the conference. Playing some quality video games. Didn’t really get to any of that. Instead, I spent the day doing phone interviews for a couple different jobs.…
Day 195 of 365 days. I got home very late last night from that old lady’s house that I mentioned yesterday. I wish someone had warned me about her. She wanted to do unspeakable things. Just unspeakable! Anyway, it was another productive day for FUNemployed Mav. I talked to a couple different recruiters about jobs.…
Day 194 of 365 days. Today, Steph took me for a walk in the middle of the forest and tried to leave me there. Usually, when she does this I leave a trail of pebbles so I can find my way back. But I was all out this time. So I left a trail of…
Taken for the Class with Dave group. The assignment was to make a fake album cover. I didn’t have any great ideas (I blame it on me being sick pretty much all week) so I adapted one of this week’s 365 shots. I highly considered putting a "HIT #1 SINGLE!" sticker on it, but steph convinced me that it doesn’t really need one, so I stuck with just the parental advisory label.
Day 186 of 365 days. So, I’m starting to feel a little better, which is good. Spent most of the day applying for jobs. Still haven’t gotten to doing my taxes yet. I should really get on that tomorrow, since I’m going to need the money soon. This shot really has nothing at all to…
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…
