Day 209 of 365 days. I was really creative yesterday (and in fact, I thought it was an awesome shot, that didn’t get nearly as much attention as it deserved. I’m kinda pissed about it, actually, so go on ahead and check it out and leave me tons of comments and faves, dammit), so it…
The second completed Tarot Card in my series. Using a shot from the Theresa photoshoot that I thought was perfect for capturing the idea of the card.
I’m using spot color for all of the cup cards, and I really wanted to have a little more in them than appears here, but I feel its important to not overdo it, and the little splash of red wine seems to be perfect for this one.
Other themes of note here: All of my pages are going to be women. I’m considering changing it to the alternate name "Princess" but I like the sound of "Page" some how. Also, all of the pages will be wearing lingerie or bed clothes (as will all of the male knights). The cups, aside from B&W with color cutouts will also all be wearing rather casual or street clothing (i have other methods of dress in mind for other suits).
I also just realized a flaw in my design. I have the number of the card (Roman numeral for Major Arcana) in the upper left hand corner, but the kings and knights will both start with K. This is bad. Any suggestions for avoiding this are appreciated (I am considering Kn for knight).
If anyone has any suggestions or questions about other themes and ideas I have worked out so far, please comment and let me know… its a big job and all input is welcome.

Day 208 of 365 days. I had been meaning to do this shot for a while. Ever since the lovely and talented (take that Amber :-P) Sassyshannon999 made her Inspired by the Film group. It suddenly occurs to me that Scarface is not among my 519 DVDs. Clearly that is some sort of oversight that…

Day 207 of 365 days. Sometimes date night isn’t super romantic. Today, Steph and I went to look at carpet for the upstairs bedroom that we’ve bee working on. It’s not exactly a candlelit dinner with handholding, but it was something nice to do and important. Tomorrow they’re coming to measure the attic and soon…
Day 206 of 365 days. I had actually been thinking of doing this back when Steph was doing her tributes to famous paintings, but I never got around to it. But I then when I got this weeks Class With Dave assignment I was happy that I’d be able to use it. This image is…
Day 205 of 365 days. Generally I don’t really like to repeat the same basic shot two days in a row (unless I plan ahead for a good reason, like with my day 182 and day 183 shots), but the dichotomy of today just made this too perfect. Yesterday I was in a room of…
Normally I don’t do this. I have like 60 pictures that pop in and out of explore. But there are 14 in there right now, and I just want a record of it.

Day 204 of 365 days. Witness the grandmother of all back up shots. It was a pretty long day. First I got a rejection letter in the mail for a job that claims I interviewed well, but I don’t remember even applying for, much less interviewing for. From there, Steph and I went to Gina’s…
Day 203 of 365 days. I was talking with the lovely and talented Katy Hutch earlier today and we were joking about Dateline NBC’s "To Catch a Predator" and specifically my blog entry about how I was going to flirt with children online in an ill advised attempt to get on TV. (Katy was nice…
Day 202 of 365 days. Oh what a difference a day makes. It’s been an intersting 24 hours. I survived yesterday’s early morning car incident only to spend the entire day taking care of tons of errands (including buying new backdrop cloth for the studio, woohoo!). Then, last night, I went to my friend Mike’s…
