Newt posed for my tarot deck. Actually we had a good photoshoot and we got a lot of photos done, but I was most excited about this, not only because I hadn’t done a tarot card in a long time, but because this was a card idea I had a long time ago.
Hopefully I’ll have more pics of her done soon.
Day 920 of 365 Again. I’ve really slacked off this winter. I’ve barely exercised at all, and I have a growing gut to prove it. This isn’t exactly a new thing, I do it in the winter a lot, but never this bad. I’ve just got so much going on lately that I’m not left…
Day 883 of 365 Again. So Steph and I are going on vacation to Vegas next week. I’ve been thinking about what I’m most looking forward to. Of course one of those things is winning millions of dollars. One of those things is going to see the Blue Man Group. But you know what I’m…
Day 849 of 365 Again. It was mostly a good day anyway. I went to bed early last night (well around midnight, which is way early for me) which means that I got up early enough to do a nice heavy workout. 50 minutes of cardio, I’m going to get back in shape or it’s…
Day 825 of 365 Again. So, I got asked out on a date by Brigid the other day. She wanted to get together, have some wine and do a self-portrait together. Normally anybody would consider that a wonderful thing. The problem is Bree lives all the way out in Portland and I’m in Pittsburgh. That…
These are actually old pics of Virginia that I did over a year ago. Recently published a set of them to zivity so I thought I’d publish some here. I haven’t been putting enough shoots up on Flickr lately. Anyway, the rest of the set is there, so check it out if you want to see. (and if you need a guest account, let me know).

Day 765 of 365 Again. Summer is winding down. I never had as much opportunity to go swimming in my pool as I would have liked this summer, so I was determined to get some use out it at the end. It was quite humid and hot today, so that was the perfect opportunity. After…
Had a shoot today, and the last thing I want is to be 3 shoots behind on editing, so I decided it’d be best to stay up late and finish the last of my Steph and Mandie set.
Day 668 of 365 More.
It’s been hot this week. Godawful hot. In the 90s, and extremly humid. I guess some places it’s like that all the time, but that’s exceptional for Pittsburgh this time of year.
And the worse part, I hadn’t gotten around to cleaning and filling my pool so I couldn’t just jump in to cool off.
I decided tonight was a good time to fix that.
While I was at it, I filmed a tutorial for next week’s podcast on shutter speed. So if you’ve ever wondered how to do a shot like this, where you freeze water in the air, be sure to check out next week’s show. (This week’s show will hopefully be up soon).
Day 646 of 365 More.
It really shows how busy I am when I can’t even find time to use my hottub. My back has literally been sore for like two weeks now. I knew that I need to soak in my hottub, but between work, 365, the podcast, Hellcats(which is now posted, by the way, so check it out), getting ready for art shows and comicons and trying to lead some kind of a life, I simply haven’t had the fifteen minutes to spare to get in.
Today all of that changed.
I finished tomorrow’s Hellcats early and got the podcast shot and uploaded for Stephen to edit. I really felt like I needed to get a jump on Thursday’s Hellcats, but there was a new Ninja Warrior tournament on tonight and Steph and I were planning to watch that together (I will someday conquer the demons of Mt. Midoriyama, this I swear). I was waiting for her to come home from her sexist book club and finally decided I’d had enough.
Oh god, I should have done this days. Ago. Fifteen minutes and I’m a new man.
If you don’t have a hottub, your life is hardly worth living.
I am quite happy with this card. When I came up with the concept while talking to Rachael, we were both kind of excited about it. In fact, talking about the card with her was the entire thing that inspired me to take her, Laurie and Amaya on the river shoot.
That said, I was kind of nervous about it. I was quite confident that taking pictures of three gorgeous girls nude, in an absolutely gorgeous mountain river setting during golden hour would turn out great. What I was worried about, however was doing a tarot card outside of the studio setting. From the very beginning of this project, I had intended to do every shot in the studio so that I could have visual consistency in the style. But I had taken pictures at the waterfall before and I was pretty sure I could blacken it and process it to the level that would make it look the way I wanted. Especially with golden hour lighting.
I’m quite happy with how it turned out and hope that it matches the other cards well enough. I wonder if I’ll end up doing any other cards outside.
And of course comments and criticism welcome.
Amaya had the idea of doing a nude photoshoot down at one of her favorite spots in West Virginia. So I took Rachael and Laurie down there to do the shoot with her.
We got there at the crack of dawn to catch golden hour light which provided some amazing results in my opinion.
