Virginia-5

Virginia and Nelson have been bugging me to process this picture since I took it. I can’t really complain, it was like a month ago. But I’ve been busy. Anyway, I wasn’t sure at first but after spending some time editing it, I love it.

Day 772 of 365 Again. First of all, I guess, apologies to anyone who reads this over the RSS feed instead of on flickr. RSS feeds don’t have safety filters, so If you’re reading this on your work computer and are promptly getting fired… well, she’s hot enough that it’s worth it right? Anyway after…

Day 771 of 365 Again. It was my intention to start my new project today. Actually, it was my intention to start it back on Wednesday. But once again, I had models cancel on me. Two shoots scheduled and neither happened. That said, at least they had valid excuses. Most times people just stand me…

Day 769 of 365 Again. So today was Mikey’s last day of 2 consecutive years of 365. A milestone that very few people ever achieve. A bunch of people did jumping shot tributes to Mikey. Not my style. At least not today. However, Mikey and I were talking about photography books the other day, and…

Day 768 of 365 Again. Ever had a day just get away from you? That how I feel about today. I know I went to work. I know I was supposed to have a photoshoot that didn’t happen. I know I spent the entire evening wroking on the new Cosmic Hellcats (which I think is…

Day 767 of 365 Again. I’ve always hated flash photography. In truth, I still do. I have this little Canon Speedlite 430EX that I use in emergencies, but in general I’d much rather use my hot lights or the good old fashioned sun. The warmness of the light just suits me so much better. But…

Day 766 of 365 Again. Stephen finally got the new podcast done. I just finished watching it. This was a show that I had bee really looking forward to. It’s chocked full of guests and we discuss the meaning behind the project at length, so go check it out. Today’s photo is brought to you…

Day 764 of 365 Again. You know, I did very little today and yet I’m very tired. Slept in, then got up and drove to Wheeling for a wrestling show. A very short match, but had a lot of fun, then I drove home. Once I got here I was exhausted. I really don’t get…

Day 763 of 365 Again. I had a great idea for a photo project today. You know, because there like isn’t enough going on in my life. *sigh* Anyway, I’m really excited about it. Obviously most people reading this will have no idea what I’m talking about, but a few of you that I have…

Day 761 of 365 Again. Kinda didn’t feel like taking a picture today. Not for any reason really. I was just tired. Normally on Wednesday nights I’m scrambling to finish Thursday’s Cosmic Hellcats strip almost to the last minute. But I got most of it done last night and finished it before 9pm, so i…

Day 760 of 365 Again. I almost got in a fight today. Exciting huh? Well, more like really stupid. Steph and I were hanging out watching TV today when there was a knock at the front door. I went down to answer it and it was my fifteen year old neighbor. He very respectfully and…

Day 759 of 365 Again. "Come with me if you want to live" It’s rare that I actually get around to actually doing something photoshop heavy on a weekday. But I don’t have any pressing photoshoot pics to edit (there are a couple tarot cards I want to reprocess) ad I have a couple days…

Eight of Staffs

Eight of Staffs

so I actually used Scarlett for the Eight of Staffs card before, but the more I thought about it, the more I decided I didn’t like it, so I decided to redo the card with a shot I liked better.

I also wanted the tattoo of the staff/heaven symbol to be less obvious. If you haven’t been following along, each of my tarot suits has a theme and each number has a less obvious theme. The theme for the eights is including the suit sigil. I felt it was too overpowering on the old card, so I decided to disguise it in a more intricate tattoo on this version.

Anyway, let me know what you think. Do you prefer this one or the older version.

Day 756 of 365 Again. I like to have Steph in my self-portraits as much as possible. I dunno why. It probably is some silly thing having to do with loving her. Gross, huh? So anyway, tomorrow she’s going out on some crazy two day charity bike ride with her family. They invited me along,…
