Day 342 of 365 days.
Steph and I finally got our Who Wants to be a Millionaire. We will not be appearing on the show as a couple or individually. Honestly I wasn’t really expecting much, but it’s really par for the course. Now I’m getting GFYs from TV game shows.
I did manage to get all my prints for my show next week matted. I ended up going with all pics from 365 featuring me walking different areas in Pittsburgh.
I need a catchy name for the set. I don’t want to use 365 because there’s only 8 pics in it. Anyone have any suggestions?
Maybe I’ll be lucky enough to sell one or two. If I set my price around $50K I won’t have to work for quite a while.
I also have most of my Jammy Jam prizes bought. Maybe at least my birthday won’t suck this year.
Oh, I also have a job interview tomorrow. Maybe my life will change all of a sudden. I need it.
this is a great shot of a great shot! How about calling the show ‘walkabout’?

Seen in my contacts’ photos. (?)
OH man! I was so holding out hope for you on Millionaire. Stupid fuckers. They don’t know what they are missing.
The print looks fantastic…maybe some rich sugar mama will ‘discover’ you. 🙂
As for a title for the series….how about "Walk a Mile in My Shoes" ?
That looks really nice all matted up. Professional.
Maybe something like "Walk On" ?

I was looking for you cuz, everytime I saw the show on. too bad. but hey you’ve got better things ahead of you!! very nice pic by the way. you need a name…. "City Travels" I don’t know but it’s a thought.
I’ve decided not to watch that stupid show anymore. I’m boycotting it.
Great picture by the way.
You should put the eight pictures in a set, so we could see them all and come up with a name.
Their loss. Boo, asses.
neat…
"the journey is what counts"
@lalalaa Dolce Vita: thank you. I guess I should have made it clearer. I’m not actually walking in every shot. A lot of times I’m just leaning against something.
@sadandbeautiful (Sarah): One can only hope. Feel free to bring any rich sugar mamas you know with you.
@Christy9799: thank you. Same thing as before. I’m not actually walking in every shot.
@AuVon: thanx. And hmm… that name might work… I dunno…
@Travelinjim: hahahah… that’s what Steph said. 🙂 And yeah, good idea. I’ll make a set right now.
@adayinthelife: well, really, I think I need the million dollars more than they need me.
@saboegel: hmm… another one with promise.
Their loss, sorry to hear that.
Love this photo. I have no catchy ideas for names, sorry.
@.tara.: thank you and thank you and no big deal.
Ok, I added a link to the set. Thanks for the idea, @Travelinjim.
Having worked in TV, sadly their is a drastic amount of people who shouldn’t be on there, and the people who should be on there, aren’t. Just sayin’… but I totally understand where you are coming from.
@adayinthelife: oh… totally. I was just being self-deprecating. I’ll stop now. Really… well… soon… maybe.
I like "boo asses" for a title
@ Qathi: *snickers*
@ Chris: No worries… I am good at that myself.
@Qathi: well, my butt doesn’t appear in them all either. Maybe that’s what I should have done.
@adayinthelife: its a gift.
how about "in transit"
transit–noun
1. the act or fact of passing across or through; passage from one place to another.
2. a transition or change.
@ms.Tea: i think "transit" here implys the Port Authority Transit (PAT) bus lines. Its a huge part of the city and I’m sure someone will be featuring it. Or I’d be surprised if they aren’t anyway.
aak i was clarifying my use of transit. as you were answering, see above.
🙂
@ms.Tea: ah… yeah, I see. Still, I think people will misconstrue it and be like "where’s the bus?" Hmm… maybe not though. I dunno.
I’ll have to think about the name thingy… but that framed print looks awesome! I am so impressed! Loved the shot, but the mat really does it justice!
as for millionaire.. who do they think they are? I was gonna be the best "lifeline" EVER! sigh… sorry, they don’t know what they’re missing.
"Pittsburgh, on $5 a Day"… just a thought. As far as Millionaire goes, you probably didn’t put enough thought and contemplation into those stupid $100 – $500 questions. You have to milk that airtime….

@lrayholly: yep… sorry you won’t be getting your chance at fme. Even sorrier for not getting the million dollars.
@FadderUri: Actually, the tryout doesn’t work like that. You just answer questions on a test (which we passed) and then they interview you (which I guess we didn’t pass).
I like ms. Tea’s idea (double meanings are cool in general…you know me and the puns :). It works for this pic, the one of you in the tunnel, the South Side pic and the headlights one (you’re literally "in" transit). (Can’t remember your other pics though.) Oh, I guess it now has triple meaning.
And Who Wants to be a Millionaire SUCKS!!!!!!!! I hate them. They are stoopid 🙂
@beststephi: yeah, but I didn’t print the headlights one. Maybe I still could. I dunno.
I don’t think you need that one (but I DO like it). The one you’re holding here has triple meaning: you’re moving, it gives the impression that you’re going to a new life (play theme to tv version of the incredible hulk here), and you’re between train tracks (the "in" transit).
"city view "or "journey" hey I dont know just trying to help cuz you helped me out so thanx
Good luck with the interview Chris. You certainly deserve some good luck right now. Fingers crossed you sell some prints too 🙂

Seen on your photo stream. (?)
@beststephi: ooh… maybe I should play the incredible hulk music on loop next to my exhibit the entire time.
@AuVon: thank you. any help is always appreciated.
@metró: thanks and I hope so.
how about something that deals with the math of 8/365.
like:
"2.2% of My Year" or "A Forty Fifth of My Year" or "Two Eighty-Ninths of My Year"
@Chaseism: that’s kinda an interesting idea.
Sorry they didn’t picked you out (dumb asses)
But this is a really great shot – I love the print you’re holding! Good luck with your show!
@Cirkusprinsesse: thanks.
I like this one a lot. Both the picture, and the picture in picture. It has a "real" feel that works for me. Self looking at self. Showing us 2 sides of self. Nice.
@dayzoid: thank you. i’m glad you feel it works.
Ya know, I work in the art world, and I see a lot of art work up close and personal, sometimes worth millions. And some of it, I wouldn’t give 2 cents for. So I don’t claim to be an expert on anything other than what I like, and what I don’t like. And so, when I say ‘it works for me’, stickler that I am about language, that’s exactly what I mean. I don’t know if it works. But I do know that I like it. Hope that’s enough for you.
🙂
@dayzoid: at the end of the day, I think that’s really the best anyone can offer. Thank you again.
