Day 290 of 365 days. Today was tarot card processing day. That’s pretty much what I did all day. I now have 20 cards done in the Maverick Tarot set. I wanted to see what the cards will ultimately look like so I printed them out on my inkjet. Now I need to buy more…

Day 289 of 365 days. Look, its a rare look into Mav’s daily life, shot. I remember when i used to do these all the time. No it’s once a week at best. Went to a "Day Before Memorial Day BBQ." Had a good time sitting on the porch and talking about a multitude of…

Day 288 of 365 days. And I sank into a depression so deep I crawled into a bottle of vodka and didn’t come out for 6 years. Ok, not really. Actually, I feel pretty ok today, but I thought of this shot when I was depressed and drinking vodka a week or so ago. Just…

Day 287 of 365 days. Are we noticing a pattern yet for days where I do a photoshoot and don’t have a good idea? I actually had a pretty productive day. Got some photos editted. Finished chemical balancing my pool. And then did a photoshoot with Amaya, a model I met on MM and a…

Day 286 of 365 days. I haven’t felt the slightest bit creative all day. This was the first day in 286 that I really just couldn’t care less about photography or 365 or anything. I was just completely burnt out. I’ve been working pretty hard on the Tarot Project lately. I’ve finished several new cards.…

Day 285 of 365 days. Ever since I’ve been using Model Mayhem I’ve had the chance to interact with more models and photographers that I never would have had the chance to meet on Flickr. Two of them, Merci Rae (Left) and Renaissance Woman (Right) invited me down to see their studio. I am insanely…

Day 284 of 365 days. One long day with not much to say. For a while I was really enjoying the freedom and the creativity that being a bum afforded me, but now its starting to get a little monotonous. Its not that I don’t enjoy having extra time to deal with photography, because I…

Day 283 of 365 days. Had another photoshoot today, and I still haven’t finished editing yesterday’s shots. I did put up the Page of Cups card that I put together to both some positive and negative feedback, so I’d appreciate as much other feedback on that (and for that matter, the previous days, Queen of…

Day 282 of 365 days. So there I am, minding my own business, working on a shoot for the tarot project when all of a sudden, my studio was invaded by KGB shock troops who didn’t know the Cold War ended twenty years ago. There was much torture and pressure involved, utilizing a can of…

Day 281 of 365 days. Basically took it easy today. Spent the morning editing pics from Thursday’s photoshoot (there should be some posted soon) and then took a nice long hot tub soak. That did wonders for my back. I’m still hurting a bit, but it really is much better. I’ll say it again, if…

Day 280 of 365 days. Ow. Ow ow ow. Oh my god, ow. I had a wrestling show today. In good old Wheeling West Virginia in front of an excited 28 fans. Woohoo! It wasn’t the smallest crowd I’ve ever wrestled in front of, but it was pretty down there. I was the third match,…

Day 279 of 365 days. So I never heard from my model for this morning, so I guess that pretty much means that shoot is cancelled. Spent the morning editing some photos, and then got a phone call from Shannon asking me if I wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese for her son, Parker’s…

Day 278 of 365 days. Two days in a row and not a studio shot. It’s been a while since I did that. Finished and posted another tarot card, today. The Queen of Staffs. Then I had a another photoshoot for the tarot deck. I have one tomorrow evening and possibly one in the morning,…

Day 277 of 365 days. You know what’s great about being a bum (errr, starving artist)? Sometimes you can just chuck all your responsibilities for the day and spend the entire afternoon sitting on a barstool, drinking beer and talking shit with a friend. Granted, my "responsibilities" for the day were limited to working on…

Day 276 of 365 days. About a year ago, I was having a conversation with people about the annual sexiest women/men alive surveys that a lot of magazines do. I decided to run my own version of the contest on my blog. I gave people one week to vote on who they believe the top…
