Nikki on Chopper 2

Nikki on Chopper 2

Still playing catch up on photoshoots. A week or so ago Nikki and Holly came to pose for me for the first time. Holly has a lot more experience with the whole modeling thing, but Nikki did a great job too.

The girls wanted to do some shots on motorcycles for a bar they work at. Their friend Sarge provided one bike, while my neighbor had the other. Hopefully the shots all came out well.

Day 737 of 365 Again. Ouch! You know, when I started this project, I figured sooner or later I was going to get busted open and that would be my picture for the day. I was sure that it would happen sooner or later in a wrestling ring. It never occurred to me that it…

Day 736 of 365 Again. This is how we relax. It was a long day. Got up early and started doing work around the house. Did some quick shopping. Returned the keg from the party. Mowed the lawn. Cleaned the pool. Shannon and Jen stopped by with their kids. If I were smart I would…

Day 735 of 365 Again. The problem with doing this project for three years is that you really get to the point where you’re not coming up with interesting shots. One of the reasons I started this was coming to grips with being in front of the camera myself. Also learning more about photographing men.…

Day 734 of 365 Again. I talked a while back about getting a battery grip for my camera, but I never showed it. It actually arrived way back on Monday and I’ve been using it ever since. I’m quite happy with it. It took some getting used to the size of the body being so…

Day 733 of 365 Again. It’s been a long time since I’ve done a flickr challenge. At least not one that Stephen or I didn’t come up with for the podcast. But then Brigid came up with this idea to do a Marionette Militia and I had to join in. It was a little tricky…

Day 732 of 365 Again. Yep, I figure I might as well do it again. Why not? I mean, it’s pretty much just my life now. Anyway, everyone wish Steph a Happy Birthday. There’d be no 365 without her. And well, let’s see what crazy things the next year brings me. Had this shot idea…

Day 731 of 365 More. I couldn’t really think of a good way to finish the second year of 365. Close that chapter of my life, so to speak. Finally I decided, why not, close the chapter. And so that’s what i did. Now to start year 3 365 days

Day 730 of 365 More. Tadaa! 730 days. The end of the second year. Or at least it would be if this weren’t a leap year. Still, calendar tricks aside, I think the fact that I’ve just posted 365 daily photos in a row, a SECOND TIME, is pretty cool. Figured I’d earned myself a…

Day 729 of 365 More. Another year, another Jammy Jam. And a good time was had by all. So I was actually kinda worried that Jammy Jam would be a failure this year. I had to move my planned date like twice. I had several friends who couldn’t make it. I had one of the…

Day 728 of 365 More. And it’s Friday. The last day of my power diet. I still have a bit of a gut, but I lost 5 pounds this week. Which puts me halfway to my goal of the 175 I wanted to be at, and I think that’s pretty damn good. Tomorrow is Jammy…

Day 727 of 365 More. You know, maybe I have a future in this business after all. Got a coffee table book that Amazon had recommended me today. I’m a huge fan of coffee table books. This one is called Katlick School by Sante D’Orazio. And it’s exactly the kind of thing that i would…

Day 726 of 365 More. I’m just all kinds of neurotic. I think I’m fat. Ok, I know I’m not really fat fat. But I’m not in the kind of shape that I want to be in. The kind of shape I’ve been in before. And when I look in the mirror (or moreover, when…

Day 725 of 365 More. So I’ve been seriously slacking off with my workouts lately, and I’ve paid for it. When I weighed in last week I was a full ten pounds over where I was last Jammy Jam. And Jammy Jam is all about being sexy. That’s the impetus I needed to get back…

Day 724 of 365 More. Crap… So I was actually having a decent day. Work was long and annoying, but productive. Work can be like that. But then once I got home, I had a nice dinner with Steph, a pretty good workout and got some new photos of Virginia editted (including one of my…
