It’s always fun to shoot a new set with Sarah. But as I’ve said before, we don’t get as many chances as I like because of how far away from each oter we live now. But she really wanted to do some of the contests that are going on right now, so she called me…
So there was this new model that I wanted to work with, Kat. We had ideas for a couple sets (those will be coming up later) but we really wanted to do the Zivity PJs prize contest. The problem is we didn’t really have an idea. I wanted to do something a little different than…
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, on of my favorite things about Zivity is getting to meet new models in locations that I wouldn’t normally meet anyone. A few weeks ago, I was on vacation in the Outer Banks, North Carolina. I was bored one night and logged into the Zivity chat…
I meant to announce Zivity this set on Tuesday, but I was really busy. You’re about to see why. So anyone who knows me knows that i like to keep busy. I like to try to do EVERYTHING. I have like 18 billion jobs. I’ve been a sysadmin, a webdesigner, a graphic designer, a photographer,…
This weekend I traveled to Washington DC with my fiancee to attend Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert’s Rally to Restore Sanity and/or Fear. I was quite interested in seeing what kind of people would show up. Despite knowing Stewart’s premise that the rally was for the 80% of Americans who don’t fall into the 10%…
I’ve been in a dark mood lately, I guess. Not quite for all of my Zivity sets, but for a lot of them. I don’t really know why that is, but I’m enjoying what I’ve been coming up with. So was Lady Sutton, I guess. Because when I asked her shoot one of them with…
You know what sucks? When your favorite model starts working at her day job like 947 hours a week and she doesn’t have as much time to shoot with you anymore. That’s what happened with me and Trix. She ended up doing so much overtime that she didn’t have as much time to do…
I live in a graveyard. Well sort of anyway. Actually, I live on one of two blocks that are literally sandwiched between three graveyards. It’s kind of creepy at first, but you get used to it pretty quickly. And if nothing else, the neighbors tend to be pretty quiet. It’s just that when they aren’t…
If you were from Pittsburgh, you’d know that was a pun. You see, here, “The Strip District” is an area of town. Once you leave Downtown Pittsburgh, you end up in a popular shopping district that we call “the Strip.” Tons of people wandering through little outdoor shops and restaurants. When Megan and I saw…
I know I promised that I’d catch up soon on my 365 Cellphone pics. Well, I lied. But don’t feel too bad. I’m nearly two months behind on posting my daily self-portraits on flickr. But I’m working on it. So here we go, let’s try to get some of the pics from earlier in September…
Black and Light by Christopher MaverickI’ve been looking forward to writing about this one for a while. Way back in January of 2008, I was invited to participate in an art show based around the concept of light. I came up with an exhibit that featured photographs of high-key black and white photos so overexposed…
Sometimes, it’s just fun to make up big words. I loved this new Zivity set with AmandaBeth the moment I shot it. Even before I had a chance to edit it. I just really liked the mood of it, even while we were out there shooting. She came to me with a single idea “I want to…
Ok, so I’ve fallen behind with posting the 365 cellphone pics but that doesn’t mean that I have stopped taking them. Quite the opposite. I’ve been busy taking them in a variety of locations and it just took me a while to get them ready. 8-30-10 Night photography presents a special…
When I posted Trix’s last Zivity set, I talked about how it just came about randomly. We hadn’t planned it, but it was just convenient to shoot and we basically shot it in a sewer in the basement of the studio we were in. Well, it all worked out because the set we DID have…
I do so love working with Megan. Everything is always so easy. Zivity and Playboy posted a “Girls with Glasses” and she immediately called me up and said “hey, there’s a new contest. I’m not doing anything tomorrow. Want to go shoot for it?” It’s funny. I wonder what we’d end up doing if we ever actually…
