Day 1021 of 365 Again. Guess what I got today? My replacement 50mm lens This time I figured I ought to try it out right away. And what do you know? Works like a charm! Yeah, fascinating, I know. Also, I really need to shave more often. I look like hell. 365 days
Day 1019 of 365 Again. I live in Pittsburgh. If you live in Pittsburgh then you probably know that there was sort of important hockey game on tonight. They even won. You’re probably pretty happy. But even though I’ve lived here nearly half my life, I was actually born in Cleveland. I’m a Cavs fan,…
Day 1015 of 365 Again. Something I used to use my daily shots for a lot was testing lighting techniques. This one is something I want to use for a tarot card eventually, but haven’t found the right model for yet, and really haven’t perfected the style the way I want. I should definitely work…
Day 1008 of 365 Again. This is a ƒ/1.8 50mm fixed lens. It’s actually the third one I’ve owned. I’ve been thinking about investing in a better one (the ƒ/1.4 or even the ƒ/1.2), but honestly, given that I keep breaking them, it’s probably best that I stick with the cheap one. In other photography…
Day 1007 of 365 Again. There’s this guy who promotes his anti-identity theft company by posting his social security number on the web and announcing it in his commercials. It’s proof that he’s secure that his identity can’t be stolen. I have no such belief. In my case, it’s more that I’m just not sure…
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 1003 of 365 Again. The problem with spending Saturday night getting wasted is that it means I have to work twice as hard on Sunday to get the Cosmic Hellcats done, and working so much was why I needed a break in the first place. Still, I got it done. And I’m happy with…
Day 999 of 365 Again. 1 day short of 1000. 1 shoot short of my 4 for the week. Lizz came over tonight to shoot her tarot card. We actually shot two, so now I’m in the weird place where I have to edit both and then decide which one I want to use. I…
Day 985 of 365 Again. I’m crushing your head! I’m crushing your head! Haha! I’m crushing your head. When you can’t think of anything exciting or original to say, just steal bits from tv shows that have been off the air for years. Who’s even gonna know? At least it’s kinda creative I guess. I’ve…
Day 984 of 365 Again. I’m actually not nearly as depressed today as I was yesterday. But I actually think the picture looks even more depressed. Actually I’m just tired. Beat really. After skimping out on workouts for the last week or so, I decided to start up again. The problem with that is that…
Day 983 of 365 Again. Someone told me tonight that you have to believe in the universe. That you have faith and everything will work out. It’s not that I don’t believe in the universe or god or anything like that. It’s that if one exists I think it’s clear that it doesn’t like me…
Day 982 of 365 Again. Back! Long Long Long Long drive. We had a nice and fun trip, but it’s good to be home. I probably put a good 800 miles on my car this weekend between wrestling on friday, then getting steph from the airport then taking amaya out to DC and back. On…
Day 979 of 365 Again. Do you know what I’m thinking? I bet you’re wrong. You know why? Because I’m not even sure myself. Today is day 979. There are exactly three weeks until I hit picture #1000! I’ve been phoning in a lot of pictures lately, but I kind of feel like 1000 days…
Day 975 of 365 Again. I wish I had started trying to get back in shape sooner. I got email last night asking me to come for a call back for the most recent movie extra part I went in for. They’re casting "fighters" for a scene involving a mixed martial arts tournament. If I…
Day 973 of 365 Again. Didn’t really have a good idea for today, but since my mother loved it so much the last time I was playing with fire I thought I’d do some more. So yeah, only can I blow fire, I can also throw it. Pretty exciting huh? No photoshopping here other than…
