Day 305 of 365 days. Yet another day. Yet another GFY from yet another job. Spent the morning being depressed about that, while working on tarot cards and other photoshoot stuff. Then, Steph asked me to drive out to her office and have lunch with her at Sree’s (one of our favorite Indian Restaurants) which…

Day 304 of 365 days. So today, Steph and I drove up to Pymatuning Valley Resort to get a tour, hear a sales pitch and attempt to win $25,000. Well, two out of three ain’t bad. The resort is nice enough, I suppose, but really not great, and not the kind of place I’d spend…

Day 303 of 365 days. Just a day of hanging around… har har har… get it? Actually, it was a decent day. Late last night, I deleted and reinstalled photoshop from my computer, which helped some of my problems a bit, but its still slower than I would like it to be. I don’t really…

Day 302 of 365 days. Yay! Steph is back home. After abandoning me for the exciting world of psychology conferences in DC, she’s come back home. Had a photoshoot today for yet another Tarot card, and I have one tomorrow, so that’s going to give me something to work on. However, for some reason photoshop…

Day 301 of 365 days. I’m not really anywhere near as depressed as I probably look in this picture. If anything, I’m actually more kind of tired. I really didn’t do much of anything today. My friends who were hanging out last night left this morning, and I alternated between taking naps and cleaning most…

Day 300 of 365 days. Ok, yeah… who has known me for more than like 20 seconds and couldn’t see this one coming. I can’t believe I’ve gotten this far. Half the time, it hardly seems like I’ve been doing this project a month, and the other half the time I can’t remember ever NOT…

Day 299 of 365 days. Tiring day. Hung out with Steph in the morning, then took her to get her rental car so she could drive to DC on business for the rest of the week. That leaves me with pretty much nothing to do. For the rest of the night. I was going to…

Day 298 of 365 days. So the good news is I have not been hit by a bus, electrified by a fence or had an anvil drop on my head. The bad news is I haven’t won the powerball, people are still hungry, we are still at war, there i no cure for cancer and…

Day 297 of 365 days. Long day. Kind of depressing, but I’m doing better now. Not really much I want to talk about. Really, its just more of the same. So instead I’ll just "sit back down and have a beer and feel sorry for myself." I had been meaning to try this for a…

Day 296 of 365 days. So, I’ve had a bunch of guest stars in my 365 shots lately (mostly models during photoshoots do to sheer laziness) but its been quite a while since I featured Steph in a picture. I had really been wanting to, so i decided today would be the day. Of course…

Day 295 of 365 days. Another day, another photoshoot. But what made this one interesting was that it wasn’t one of my own. Renaissance Woman (top middle) who you will remember from my 5-23-07 shot liked the look of one of my models, Shiima (bottom right) and wanted to use him for a shoot, so…

Day 294 of 365 days. Had a job interview today. In many ways it actually gave me renewed faith in the UI design industry. It was for a full-time position (as opposed to a contract, as I normally work) and it seemed like the company was actually interested in doing what i call "good work"…

Day 293 of 365 days. Usually I’m not big on huge "everyone do this minichallenge this day" events. Mostly because I know there are people who pay attention to the Maverick 365 project that don’t pay attention to anyone else’s. And also because I have delusions of actually making a book and the mini challenges…

Day 292 of 365 days. Four, count them, four days in a row without a studio shot. If that’s not some kind of record for me, I don’t know what is. It came to my attention that, what with being wrapped up on the Tarot deck and all, I was basically shooting all chiaroscuro images…

Day 291 of 365 days. Splash! So to all appearances my life is maybe not so bad. I’ve said before, I get to spend most of my days doing photography, which is a hell of a lot better than whatever most people do for a living. On top of that, most of my photography consists…
