Zivity Preview: Leave Me Be

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…

Zivity Preview: Dia de los Muertos

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,…

Zivity Preview: Urban Decay

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…

Zivity Preview: Shadow Puppets

  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…

Zivity Preview: Tales From the Crypt

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…

Zivity Preview: “The Strip District”

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…

Announcing “Black and Light”

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…

Zivity Preview: Boxcarcinogenesis

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…

Zivity Preview: Morning Hike

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…
