Day 126 of 365 days. Merry Christmas to me! To paraphrase the great poet and philosopher Eric Cartman, "I have a PS3. Who wants to touch me?" I went to Electronics Boutique to buy a birthday present for a friend of mine today. While there, I happened to get into a conversation with the salesman…
Day 125 of 365 days. And its backup picture day. I didn’t have much in mind today and I had that Christmas party today. Lots of rowdy wrestler goodness and I got a book in the gift exchange. I was too lazy to take any pictures during the party however, so today’s picture is one…
Day 124 of 365 days. And its officially the Christmas season. I’ve actually been doing my gift shopping for weeks now, but today I wrapped my first present. Tomorrow is the IWC Christmas party when I will do a gift exchange with some of my wrestling friends. I suppose when I get my first present…
Day 123 of 365 days. This is actually something I wanted to do for a while. Kind of an abstracted self portrait. Actually its just a macro of my skin. I hadn’t been able to really get it before because I couldn’t get my hand far enough away from the 300mm lens to focus on…
Day 122 of 365 days. Yep, I’m definitely getting sick. Oh well. Today marks the completion of one third of this project. I wanted to mark it with something dynamic. I actually came up with this idea a couple days ago, but wanted to save it til today to mark the occasion. I’m glad I…
Day 121 of 365 days. Back to basics. I haven’t done a good sitting in shadows picture in a couple weeks, so I decided it was about time. Actually I decided yesterday, but I didn’t have the time to devote to it til today. It started out being a pretty good day, actually. Slept in,…
Day 120 of 365 days. Had a wrestling show today at IWC, my "home company." I had previously shown a shot of my stable in BDW (the other company I work for), Afirmative Action. Well pictured here is my new stable in IWC, Sexual Harassment. Tonight, being the dastardly heel that I am, I turned…
Day 119 of 365 days. Today after work, Steph and I went to a going away party for a couple we know. It was an evening of fun where we discussed politics and books and college and football and tv shows. Had a great time with old friends and some that I didn’t even know.…
Day 118 of 365 days. (Stephen and Jack, this is another one you might enjoy) One might be able to gather from several other pictures in this project that I am a comic book fan. Even if I weren’t a comic book fan, I would hope that I would still have had the foresight in…
Day 117 of 365 days. So one of the about a billion things that has had me stressed and tired out lately has been reading. I’ve been reading gender studies books in preparation for a paper I have to write and present at a conference in April. I’m actually pretty excited about the paper. It’ll…
Day 116 of 365 days. So a little backstory. For the last few years, I’ve had this thing where I refuse to vote for any unopposed candidate, instead voting for myself. I urge others to do the same. A few months back, Pittsburgh’s mayor died and he was succeeded by the President of City Council,…
Day 115 of 365 days. I’ve said it before many times, and I’ll say it again. I’m just not cut out for this whole working for a living thing. Sometimes at the end of the day I’m just completely worn out. I was so tired in fact that I couldn’t even be bothered to take…
Day 114 of 365 days. Yesterday, I was "called out." In a nice and friendly way, sure. But make no mistake about it, Jack Scoresby and Stephen Poff laid a punk card down right in front of me. Jack and Stephen are fellow photographers, who also both happen to be doing this crazy 365 Days…
Day 113 of 365 days. Two days in a row with two backup pictures. Had a very busy day. Spent the morning painting the attic with Steph and then this evening went to Jill’s birthday dinner. I actually did take some pictures there but mostly other people. Actually took this one at her place while…
Day 112 of 365 days. There were many opportunities for a kick ass picture today. There was a torrential downpour this morning. A massive windstorm this afternoon and I went to a flickr event this evening. And yet none of the photos I took compared to this. And so here’s what we have. What I…
