Day 1023 of 365 Again. There. Much better. Spent the whole day cleaning. My studio is in much better shape now, and I even got some work done on the basement. After that I sat down and watched both the Cavs/Magic game and the Pens/Red Wings game. Lets just move along, shall we? 365 days

Day 1022 of 365 Again. I really need to take better care of my studio. Sadly, like many creative people I am very sloppy. I really don’t mean to be. I just am. Always have been. But I’m working on it. Really I am. Spent a lot of the evening cleaning the studio. Cleaning the…

Day 1021 of 365 Again. Guess what I got today? My replacement 50mm lens This time I figured I ought to try it out right away. And what do you know? Works like a charm! Yeah, fascinating, I know. Also, I really need to shave more often. I look like hell. 365 days

Day 1020 of 365 Again. Sometimes I wonder if the whole not sleeping thing is hurting me. I mean, honestly, I don’t really do it on purpose. Rarely do I force myself to stay up. I only do it when I have a really bad deadline or something. It usually just happens so I have…

Day 1019 of 365 Again. I live in Pittsburgh. If you live in Pittsburgh then you probably know that there was sort of important hockey game on tonight. They even won. You’re probably pretty happy. But even though I’ve lived here nearly half my life, I was actually born in Cleveland. I’m a Cavs fan,…

Day 1018 of 365 Again. I love freshly cut grass. Well, really, I love my freshly cut grass. I don’t know why, I guess it’s just a sense of accomplishment. Today was Memorial Day, so I had the day off. I celebrated in the age-old manner. I mowed the lawn. My lawn mower is broken…

Day 1017 of 365 Again. It’s been really nice out lately. Yesterday I went swimming (might do it again in a little bit) and today Steph and I went to her nephew’s hockey game. On the way out I noticed how well our roses had been blooming so I stopped to smell them. And while…

Day 1016 of 365 Again. Finally! Finally it was warm enough to actually get in my pool. In fact, it was so hot that Steph and I decided to go swimming at night. Funny thing about underwater photography. I don’t even much care if it’s good or anything like that, though, I suppose if I…

Day 1015 of 365 Again. Something I used to use my daily shots for a lot was testing lighting techniques. This one is something I want to use for a tarot card eventually, but haven’t found the right model for yet, and really haven’t perfected the style the way I want. I should definitely work…

Day 1014 of 365 Again. So, according to my mom, my little nephew has been practicing the ancient ninja art of invisibility. Everyone apparently just thought it cute and silly, since he’s only a year old, but the more I think about it, maybe the kid is a genius. So I’ve been practicing it myself…

Day 1013 of 365 Again. Welcome to my Wednesday night. Not just this Wednesday. Pretty much all of them. You ever wonder why I don’t sleep? It’s because I just always have too much to do. Every Monday and Thursday at midnight, Max and I release a new episode of Cosmic Hellcat Adventures. That means…

Day 1012 of 365 Again. *sigh* The saga of the 50mm lens continues. Guess what’s broken? Yep. Tried to use it yesterday and discovered that the connection ring on it is all fucked up. So now I have to go through all the trouble of returning it and getting another one. *sigh* Maybe I should…

Day 1011 of 365 Again. You know, I don’t really like to make my self-portraits flickr referential. I don’t know why, really. It’s just always felt weird. BUT, I’m making an exception today because I really wanted to pimp my most recent photoshoot photo. I’ve been excited about this one since the day I shot…

Day 1010 of 365 Again. So this Tuesday is an election day in Pennsylvania. Exciting huh? Well, not so much. You see, it’s a primary. As I am registered as an independent, neither the republican party, nor the democratic party really gives a damn about my opinion on things and therefore I don’t get to…

Day 1009 of 365 Again. True confession. I want to own my own night club some day. It’s been a dream of mine since I was like 12. I know, some kids want to go into space or be a rockstar. Yeah, those things would be cool too. But what I really want is to…
