Day 114 of 365 days. Yesterday, I was "called out." In a nice and friendly way, sure. But make no mistake about it, Jack Scoresby and Stephen Poff laid a punk card down right in front of me. Jack and Stephen are fellow photographers, who also both happen to be doing this crazy 365 Days…

Day 100 of 365 days. One hundred days. Never would have thought I’d make it that far. Wanted to do something special that might stand out a bit in order to commemerate it. I hope this fits the bill. I noticed that I hadn’t been doing as much photoshop gimmickery lately, and part of me…

Day 77 of 365 days. I said I would do a clone shot of myself until I had a good story to make it mean something. Today is that day. When I got home today I was dead tired. I’ve been doing a lot of work the last week plus a lot of shopping to…

Day 76 of 365 days. Decided it was time to go in a slightly different direction here. After all, the whole point is to push myself as an artist, right? So I got to thinking, what would be interesting that I have never tried before. And right there, Andy Warhol popped into my head. It…

Day 68 of 365 days. Ever since I started this project, I had the idea that sooner or later I wanted to do a picture where I cloned myself. They’ve been quite popular on Flickr lately. But I didn’t want to do one just for the sake of doing one. I wanted to make sure…

Day 66 of 365 days. Steph wanted to learn more about Photoshop and asked me to teach her some stuff so I came up with this little exercise to teach her a couple things. I had been wanting to do something else Photoshoppy anyway. So I kinda threw this together while watching Heroes tonight. Maybe…

Day 52 of 365 days. I was a big fan of making these for a while, but I never really shot one with a person in it. Much less myself in a self portrait. The trick is to stand really still for both shots. I admit, I had to ask Steph for assistance here. I…

Day 48 of 365 days. Won my nightly poker game in record time and then I was just sitting up watching TV (I don’t sleep much) and when midnight hit, I decided to get a jump on todays self portrait. I was especially eager since what I had planned seemed like it was going to…

Day 46 of 365 days. I actually had a half baked idea of doing this a couple weeks ago, but I never really knew where to go with it. Then randomly, sadandbeautiful went and made her own version last week which impressed me quite a bit and made me want to make sure that I…

Day 30 of 365 days. And the third day of my attempt to Bring Sexy Back. First of all, I am absolutely totally astounded that I made it this far, and remarkably I don’t even want to quit. Even though there are days like today when I just don’t really feel like putting energy into…

Day 27 of 365 days. So this was something I have been wanting to try since I did the Sun Sword picture a few days ago. Kind of a Human Torch inspired thing. The final result here wasn’t actually what I was originally envisioning, but I kind of like the effect. More or less anyway.…

Day 22 of 365 days. Ok, the fact that I’ve spent the last 3 hours since midnight doing this and I’m so excited about it is just a testament to how geeky I really am at heart. *sigh* So I actually had this idea about 3 days ago when I was predicting the end of…

Day 11 of 365 days. Memoirs of an Invisible Mav. One of the nice things about this project is that it has made me start thinking of different ideas that I wouldn’t normally come up with. I actually had a couple random ideas that weren’t so photoshoppy today, but then this one started baking in…
