Day 994 of 365 Again. I’ve been wrestling Friday shows the last several months. This means I have to get off work, rush to pick up Steph (and this time Jameel, since he decided to come with us) anf fight rush-hour traffic to get into West Virginia before bell time. That said, it was worth…
Day 564 of 365 More. There just aren’t enough hours in the day. Not even close. I did get a lot done at work today, but when i came home I spent the entire evening editing photos and researching my next photo project (which I actually have a really great idea for, and hopefully one…
Day 413 of 365 More. Thank God it’s Friday. Got through the day at work and went to happy hour. I think my favorite thing about this job is that my favorite happy hour bar is right across the street. That’s certainly one big advantage. After Happy Hour, we went to dinner for Steph’s friend’s…
Day 407 of 365 More. Ok, trying to get back to normal life. Spent the entire day hanging out with Steph, with the small exception of when I mowed the lawn while she was napping. When she woke up she suggested we take a walk along the bike trail down by the river. I figured,…
Day 369 of 365 More. The first time I’ve done a cell phone picture in the second year. That didn’t take a long time did it. Steph and I went to a poker tournament tonight at a local bar. Free to play, witha $100 prize. I didn’t get great cards at all, but I hung…
Was taking photos for my photo project earlier today and it started raining really hard. Even though I already had a 365 shot for today, I really wanted to get this shot as I had been trying to get a good standing in the storm shot all year.
Day 334 of 365 days. Spent the entire day taking photos. Its been a while since I did that. Like I said yesterday, I finally came up with an idea for my photoset for the photography show I’m doing later this month. It was a very muggy day which was actually perfect for the look…
Day 312 of 365 days. It rained today. Pretty much all day actually. It would stop for a bit and then rain again. I mostly stayed in and worked on photos (of Laurie, which were artistic nudes, and I expected them to get a lot more play than they did. Oh well.) and watching TV.…
Day 308 of 365 days. Had another phone interview today. Unlike the previous job, I’m not super excited about it, and it pays less than I was hoping for, and isn’t really doing what I want to be doing. So you know, that’s probably the one I’ll get, right? Well, that or I’m going to…

Assignment: "The Street" in B&W – Your portrayal of life on the street. Photos must be black & white.
This is the Craig Street Bum. He is what I can best term, a professional homeless man. In one month, I will have lived in Pittsburgh for 15 years. For this entire time, this man has been stationed on Craig Street between Forbes and Fifth Avenue. He sometimes moves from one side of the street to the other. He is never there at night. But every day, rain or shine, whenever I am on Craig Street he is there, perched on his milk crate, with a cup in front of him begging for change. I have often wondered if he is really homeless or not. Not to be callous, but you’d think after 15 years he’d either be back on his feet or would have died. I don’t very often see people giving him change (I think most passers by are aware that he is simply there every day) but he clearly changes his clothes from time to time, despite having "the homeless look." If you pay close attention you’ll even notice that his Nikes are newer than mine.
Maybe I should give the panhandling thing a try.
Homo Sapiens Alleghenius from the Pittsburgh region of Pennsylvania, USA. Indigenous Pittsburghers are among the most pedestrian peoples on the planet. While they certainly possess the physical capability to operate motor vehicles, many go their entire lives without ever receiving instructions to do so. While several will use communal transportation, it is not uncommon for them to travel through walking.
Homo Sapien Alleghenius is a mostly omnivorous creature, though like this specimen they prefer gathering to hunting. Both genders are capable of mating at any point throughout the year and females give live birth. The population typically dwells in structures of their own creation in either the mountains or by their environment’s numerous rivers.
For the Class with Dave group. Assignment: National Geographic style picture of somebody in their natural habitat.
Day 16 of 365 days. So I walk up to the local cigarette store to take a picture in front of the "MAVERICK" brand cigarettes sign. Something I’ve been meaning to do for a week now. And then as I’m walking back home and walking down the hill I come up with this other idea…
Day 6 of 365 days. I really liked this idea but it never took off the way i wanted it to. I started working on it too late and I worked on it up to 11:59 and then stopped because I like to keep it real, dammit. In any case, the effect is neat and…
a car parked in Oakland in Pittsburgh that I thought would look great as an anaglyph. Use 3D glasses for best viewing.
