Day 9 of 365 days. Did some shopping, had a BBQ, went to Hooters to watch a WWE wrestling PPV with some wrestler friends. When it all comes down to it, the simple truth is that I’m not going to be able to finish this project if I expect to go out of my way to be super-creative and all photoshop crazy with every single shot. I just don’t have the time, and some days I just don’t have the gumption. And if I let myself believe that I have to do that, I’m going to miss some days. So instead on some days I’m going to have to settle for just a nice casual candid shot and maybe try to make up for it by also including four girls with nice racks.

You’ll notice that I am tilted slightly to the side. This isn’t me trying to get closer to Kat (the hottie brunette waitress who made a habit of rubbing my leg every time she came to our table… I love flirty waitresses), its because I also burnt the bottom of my foot earlier in the day when I stepped ona stray hot coal while BBQing. Sadly I did not have a camera ready to capture the shot of me jumping up and down in excruciating pain. Sometimes I think I should just have auto cameras filming my entire house all the time. Chris Maverick: The Reality Show.

Other notes: The lighting in Hooters was positively awful, and I didn’t really care enough to recalibrate my camera. A mistake it turns out since the color balance and contrast on the shot really sucked. So I ended up spending 30 min on it in Photoshop when i got home anyway just to make it THIS presentable. sigh I’ll definitely try to do something nicer tomorrow.

    well, you have a shirt on today! sorry about your foot…sucks! as for the lighting, well, i think it’s great for a foto from Hooters…don’t think you should touch it up at all!

    actually, I guess that wasn’t clear. This IS the touched up photo. The original is so red and dark I’m barely recognizable.

    @shannonbb: hehehe… well, its actually named hooters because of the owl mascot or something… uh yeah, whatever. I wasn’t complaining. 🙂
