Day 1194 of 365 4 lyf. Ok, time to pimp another cool iPhone app. Urban Spoon. IPRettu simple really. It gives recommendations for places to eat based on where you happen to be standing. But the new iPhone 3GS version is awsome. Striaght our of science fiction. Basically you can go into scope mode, which…

Day 1160 of 365 4 lyf. Ok, yeah. I know no one cares about the Photoshop.com app and my silly little iphone pictures, but I’m totally fascinated by it. There’s so little you can do with it, and I’m obsessed with trying to make it as cool as possible. Ok, maybe tomorrow I’ll try to…

Day 1158 of 365 4 lyf. Yes, it’s a cameraphone picture. But I swear, it wasn’t done out of laziness. I just wanted a chance to use Photoshop on my iPhone. It may not be a DSLR. It may not be a 300mm ƒ1.2 lens. It may not be high art by any means. But…

Day 1025 of 365 Again. I put a lot of work into yesterday’s photo, so I decided that I could just phone it in today. Literally. Actually, sometimes I just like doing weird things. I think to myself, wow, I wonder what I look like to that bug sitting on my porch light. Well, now…

Day 816 of 365 Again. Steph and I left for work early this morning so we could perform our civic duty. As per usual, I found a couple races that I wanted to throw my hat into. Remember. Whenever someone is running unopposed just assume I am running against them as a writein candidate. Vote…

Day 792 of 365 Again. Oh my god, you killed Kenny! You bastards! Today was not a photography day. That was kind of intentional. Instead I just got to catch up on everything else in my life. Steph’s college roommate got married in a small private ceremony a couple months ago, so today they had…

Day 784 of 365 Again. And the end of a long week. I’ve been working long hours between my job, the comic and photoshoots I’ve barely slept in the last two weeks. And Steph’s week has been even worse. She’s been working two jobs, and even though we live together we almost never see each…

Day 737 of 365 Again. Ouch! You know, when I started this project, I figured sooner or later I was going to get busted open and that would be my picture for the day. I was sure that it would happen sooner or later in a wrestling ring. It never occurred to me that it…

Day 724 of 365 More. Crap… So I was actually having a decent day. Work was long and annoying, but productive. Work can be like that. But then once I got home, I had a nice dinner with Steph, a pretty good workout and got some new photos of Virginia editted (including one of my…

Jameel driving

Jameel driving

On the way home from the car dealer yesterday, Jameel and I both took cameraphone shots of each other out the windows. Here’s Jameel flashing the peace sign as I drove by him.

What I really love is the distortion on the truck in the background. I think its a combination of the warping of my window, a longish exposure for a cameraphone shot and the effective speed of 130+ mph (combined his speed and mine) as we passed each other on the highway.

Day 692 of 365 More.

Take me to another place
Take me to another land
Make me forget all that hurts me
Let me understand your plan

So Steph and I jumped in the car today and drove to Tennessee for my family reunion. We didn’t get in til after 3am. I am exhausted.

Since we were pretty much driving all day, I didn’t have a lot of time to really stop and take pictures. This one was taken on my iPhone when Steph and I stopped to get dinner at a McDonalds, somewhere in Southern West Virginia I think.

And then six more hours of driving cramped up in her little Honda Civic. I really need to get that Hybrid Escape.

Now I see the importance of history
Why people be in the mess that they be
Many journeys to freedom made in vain
By brothers on the corner playin ghetto games
I ask you lord why you enlightened me
Without the enlightment of all my folks
He said cuz I set myself on a quest for truth
And he was there to quench my thirst
But I am still thirsty…

The lord allowed me to drink some more
He said what I am searchin for are
The answers to all which are in front of me
The ultimate truth started to get blurry
For some strange reason it had to be
It was all a dream about Tennessee

Day 683 of 365 More.

Hey look, it’s a TTV. Well, kinda anyway.

I’ve been really burnt out lately. Long day at work and had a lot of work to do on Thursday’s comic when I got home. On top of that, I have to get into work early tomorrow, which means I need to force myself to go to sleep soon, and it’s not even 12:30 and I’m totally not used to that.

Sigh… I’m burnt out. I really need a vacation. And a party. And a pony. Any two of the three would probably do.

Day 587 of 365 More. Today I am phoning it in… heehee… get it? Actually, I really just wanted to see how good the quality of an iPhone portrait was. The answer… err… it’s this good. The problem with this whole comic book thing is that really, its all I’m doing with my life. I…

Day 585 of 365 More. Helluva day! So the battery in my laptop has been acting up and not holding a charge since I went to Florida last week. I didn’t have time to deal with it though so I put it off till today to go to the Apple store and get a replacement.…
