Day 1138 of 365 Again. Remember when I was working on that Tarot Deck? Remember when I used to do lots of photoshoots? Yeah, me too. I haven’t been doing much of at all lately. In fact, I’ve been too busy and burnt out to even work on editing old stuff. I really need to…
The problem with taking years to complete a project like my Tarot Deck is that as time goes on I realize how unhappy I am with some of the earlier shots. This means I have to redo them, which means that the project takes even longer to complete.
The old Two of Coins has been on my list to reshoot for a long time, but it wasn’t actually my intention to use Lizz for the reshoot. In fact I had her pegged for the four of staffs, which wasn’t done yet at all. But after we shot that, she ended up liking one of the dresses in my model closet a lot (I have a wardrobe full of outfits for shoots) and once she tried it on, I decided she a great look for this card. Once I had edited it, I really felt like this was totally the way to go. I’m glad I did. Of course now I have to shoot the four of staffs yet again, but I’m pretty sure its worth it.
Day 986 of 365 Again. Poker sucks. It really does. And the river is a terrible bitch. I actually played very well tonight. We had seven people in my regular game and I was winning for a long portion of it. I had half the chips in play. But all it takes is a couple…
Hadn’t done a tarot card in a while. Had a lot of them building up. Including this one from my first shoot with Chaste a while back.
I really love the sepia look of the coin cards and can’t wait to do more. I also like the lingerie for this one. It gives a great old fashioned look to it. I actually bought that vanity and the screen just for this shoot. I’m glad I did. It’s made a wonderful addition to the studio.
Day 538 of 365 More. My weekly poker game had been on hiatus since Christmas. Today we started back up. In some ways I almost wish we hadn’t. I wasn’t doing great, but i had ace/nine with an ace on the board and decided to go all in. Everyone folded except one person. Steph of…
One of the things that makes me think that I’m getting some success as a photographer is that I now have people asking to shoot with me. That’s how I found Rana. She heard about the Tarot project from another model and wanted to be a part of it. We had our shoot yesterday, and I’m quite happy with the results. She has a nice socialite look about her which I thought went well with the coins cards. I’m behind with photo editting, but I’ll be posting other shots of her when I get to them.
