More Tarot cards that I shot this weekend. I’m continuing the idea of keeping the aces and tens linked. This time with Max posing for the cups cards.
Yes, that really is beer. Yes he finished it.

Day 276 of 365 days. About a year ago, I was having a conversation with people about the annual sexiest women/men alive surveys that a lot of magazines do. I decided to run my own version of the contest on my blog. I gave people one week to vote on who they believe the top…

Day 262 of 365 days. So I got the letter I had been dreading today. I’ve spent the last couple months interviewing over and over again with one company. Actually, I’ve interviewed with several companies for the last couple months, but I kept getting called back to one. They told me in no uncertain terms…

Cheryl’s eyes
by mav • • 0 Comments
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 238 of 365 days. Spent a lazy day in Boston. I’m mostly over being sick, but I’m still really tired from everything the flu took out of me, and my lungs are full of fluid, so I’m coughing a lot. It was really cold, and my friend, Meron, is also sick, so we mostly…

Day 226 of 365 days. You know, I almost want to call this a bringing sexy back pic? What do you people think? I got to sleep in today. It was nice and I needed it. After I finally did get up, I did a little bit of the moving from our current bedroom to…

Day 213 of 365 days. I’ve said it before. I’ll say it again. I’m probably the hardest working unemployed man in the world. Today I accomplished several things. I talked to two recruiters and emailed with a third. I spent the rest of the day working on my paper for the conference I’m speaking at…

Page of Cups
by mav • • 12 Comments
The second completed Tarot Card in my series. Using a shot from the Theresa photoshoot that I thought was perfect for capturing the idea of the card.
I’m using spot color for all of the cup cards, and I really wanted to have a little more in them than appears here, but I feel its important to not overdo it, and the little splash of red wine seems to be perfect for this one.
Other themes of note here: All of my pages are going to be women. I’m considering changing it to the alternate name "Princess" but I like the sound of "Page" some how. Also, all of the pages will be wearing lingerie or bed clothes (as will all of the male knights). The cups, aside from B&W with color cutouts will also all be wearing rather casual or street clothing (i have other methods of dress in mind for other suits).
I also just realized a flaw in my design. I have the number of the card (Roman numeral for Major Arcana) in the upper left hand corner, but the kings and knights will both start with K. This is bad. Any suggestions for avoiding this are appreciated (I am considering Kn for knight).
If anyone has any suggestions or questions about other themes and ideas I have worked out so far, please comment and let me know… its a big job and all input is welcome.

Stephanie was good enough to pose for me in her underwear a second week in a row for my Class with Dave assignment so long as I kept it PG-13. The assignment of course, was to take a picture representing blue. This was the best idea I could think of. Two weeks, two color cutouts. Go go gadget cliché!

Theresa Eyes

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.

Wasn’t quite as happy with this outfit for Theresa. It was a more classic kind of glamour, but she borrowed the dress from Steph, and even though she looks pretty, it just didn’t capture her more tomboyish personality the way the other outfits did. They’re ok, shots, I suppose, but to me, it was just the wrong kind of sexy for her.

Steph in Pink

Taken for the Class with Dave group. The assignment was to make a partial desaturation/color cutot picture with on one color. This is of course something I’ve done a bunch so it wasn’t that big a deal. But I tried to find a good subject to do it with. Steph was nice enough to pose for me for a pic (a rare occurance actually) and this is what I came up with.

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.
