Day 142 of 365 days. So normally its considered a faux pas to where white after Labor Day. And I’m sure my mother is going yell at me when she see this, But I have an all white tux and I have oh so few occasions to wear it anywhere. Tonight was New Year’s Eve,…
Day 141 of 365 days. Do you know what one of the best parts about living with your girlfriend is. Nope, not the sex. It’s always having someone around to do fun things with. Like yesterday hanging out in the hottub, and today, a rousing game of Trivial Pursuit. Steph and I love Trivial Pursuit.…
Day 140 of 365 days. Well, that’s it. Today was my last day of work, at least full time, on my current contract. What do you do when you’re unemployed? Well me, I come home and spend some nice quality time relaxing in my hottub. Nothing like sitting in 100 degree water and sweating in…
Day 139 of 365 days. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Maverick knows. The creative process is an interesting thing. I actually set out to make a black and white with this shot. I placed my lights so that I’d have nice heavy darks and hard contrast with my backdrop.…
Day 138 of 365 days. I’ve actually had an idea for a cool long exposure, playing with light picture since very early on in this project. Its been written down on my idea white board. This is not it. I don’t want to attempt it until I’m sure I can pull it off exactly the…
Day 137 of 365 days. Today was the last day of Christmas. Where yesterday was spent with family (well, Steph’s family) today was spent with friends. We got together for a Nondenominational Yuletide Winter Holiday Celebration of glogg and champagne drinking and present exchange. If you haven’t had glogg before, I must highly recommend it.…
Day 136 of 365 days. So even in these dark days post Steelers loss to the Ravens, there must still be a Christmas. Spent the day with Steph’s family celebrating. I actually thought of taking a picture while opening presents, but I just never got around to setting up the tripod. Too much work. So…
Day 135 of 365 days. It was a happier time. A simpler time. A better time. A time of joy and hope. A time when the dreams of children and adults all over the world could come true with Christmas miracles. It was this morning when our friends took me and Steph to a football…
Day 134 of 365 days. I really have no excuse for the blurriness today. I thought I had checked the focus and I guess not. Anyway, its beginning to look a lot like Christmas, or as I call it, the non-denominational yuletide winter holiday. Steph had the great idea of hanging all the cards we…
Day 133 of 365 days. For some reason I thought it’d be a good idea today to attempt to really capture a single moment. Something that I pretty much never do. Take one shot and just hope its perfect. I did it and got home and looked at the shot and its not as perfect…
Day 132 of 365 days. It was such a long day. it started out ok. Went to work, made plans to go over and exchange presents with a friend this evening, came home, and then my troubles began. Supposedly I should be able to get high definition feeds of the local Pittsburgh channels through my…
Day 131 of 365 days. Well the headache did get better, but that’s about it. I have a bad shoulder from wrestling, and its acting up with all the weather changes and stuff, so I’m sore as hell. It’s actually been hurting for the last couple of days. I keep meaning to take some time…
The Best Sport Ever! Yes, max1975, you’re welcomeSo I was talking to the lovely and talented, beststephi the other day and trying to make a rational for why discrimination was sometimes ok. My argument was that, for all the rhetoric about people being equal – men and women, blacks and whites, christians and jews –…
Day 130 of 365 days. I’ve had a monster headache most of the day today. Honestly I considered just tossing a lame backup shot as the picture for today, but since I kind of had a cop out picture yesterday, I decided that i really needed to put something good on today. Then I realized.…
