Day 275 of 365 days. How in the name of all that is good and holy did people mow lawns before they invented hot tubs? I stayed up late last night working on my most recent tarot card.. I didn’t really intend to work on it all night, but once I got on a roll,…

Day 274 of 365 days. How about street walker for my new career? It seemed to work out tonight. So this morning I shot my friend Jameel for the Tarot deck. He’ll be the Tower card for the major arcana. But I still needed a nice tower background for it. Unfortunately I didn’t really have…

Day 273 of 365 days. Look, I’m wearing color. I bet you didn’t know I did that, huh? Long tiring days lead to long tiring lives. Met with a model about possibly working on the Tarot project. At least that was fun. From there I drove home and dealt with annoying job applications (seriously, I…

Day 272 of 365 days. Had my interview today. I guess it went ok. I’m not totally enthused about the job, but I can do it. Actually, I could probably do it in my sleep. It seems kind of boring and monotonous really. And its kind of corporate. Not very creative. Really, its the kind…

Day 271 of 365 days. Made a little bit of progress on the job front today, as I took calls from 3 different recruiters, including the one i talked to yesterday who thinks that the job she’s recruiting for is a virtual sure thing for me. Of course I’ve heard that before. Interview is tomorrow.…

Day 270 of 365 days. Spent the day working on photos for the most part. I should have two more tarot cards up either tonight or tomorrow, depending on how much work I feel like doing tonight. I did get a call about a job interview on Thursday. Before everyone starts telling me that "see,…

Day 269 of 365 days. The worse my "professional" life gets, the better my photography life gets. I could totally get used to this if I could just turn a profit. I’ve got 5 photoshoots scheduled in the next 2 weeks for the Tarot project, plus I’ve talked to 5 other models today or yesterday…

Day 268 of 365 days. Argggh…. I just noticed I’ve been numbering all of my days incorrectly since Day 247. So my “only 100 days left” post was wrong. I have even fewer than I thought. *sigh* now I have to go through and retag everything. Steph was nice enough to accompany me to Middleofnowhere,…

Day 267 of 365 days. You know what I haven’t done for 365 in a long time? I haven’t featured Steph in a pic. I kind of pulled back from using her when she started trying the project herself. But she got lazy and pulled out eventually and I never started using her much again.…

Day 266 of 365 days. So all this week I’ve been telling a continuing story of what my life has been like on the road as a drifter. I was intending to finish that story today. Unfortunately I didn’t have a really good idea. I was wishing I knew someone with a barn. I wanted…

Day 265 of 365 days. The fourth day in my life on the open road. The thing about a life of adventure is that sometimes in order to really appreciate the craziness you have to take a moment to really enjoy the downtimes. Sometimes I forget that. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in what’s…

Day 264 of 365 days. There’s a lot that goes into this whole being a drifter thing. It’s not just banging farmers daughters and saving the world from alien invasions. You also need to make some money. Sure, you can get decent room and board by shoveling horse manure or stacking hay, but that just…

Day 263 of 365 days. When last we left our intrepid hero he was walking along the train tracks in search of adventure. Ok, so the damndest thing happened since yesterday. There I was riding the rails, walking against the wind, traveling from town to town, deflowering farmer’s daughters, being run out by sheriffs, that…

Day 262 of 365 days. So I got the letter I had been dreading today. I’ve spent the last couple months interviewing over and over again with one company. Actually, I’ve interviewed with several companies for the last couple months, but I kept getting called back to one. They told me in no uncertain terms…

Day 261 of 365 days. Oh my aching feets. I need to get new tennis shoes. Mine are several years old and they just don’t provide the support I need anymore. Played doubles tennis today with Steph against Max and Geoff. It was the first time that we’d played all year, but its nice to…
