A couple weeks ago, Tate Nations, master of skateboard photography, was nice enough to do a tutorial for the 365 Podcast which I cohost. During the same episode, I did a tutorial on shooting high contrast black and whites. Tate said he’d try my technique if I’d try some of his. So this weekend, I…

I always love when i get the chance to work with someone who’s not a model. Most people seem to think that they don’t photograph well. But I think that given the right circumstance and concept, anyone can be great.
Doc is the bouncer at the Tennyson, and had seen some of the other tarot cards and was telling me how much he liked them. I looked at him for a moment and then knew that he’d be great for the King of Swords. He has just the kind of imposing and menacing frame that really suits what I wanted for this card.
The shoot was easy and straightforward and I think turned out exactly right.
Day 540 of 365 More. Don’t I look so pretty? Ok, maybe not. I bought a vanity, to use in one of my Tarot card shoots that is coming up. I was kind of wondering what I would do with it after its over though. But I kind of like it. I may just leave…
Day 539 of 365 More. One of the nice things about my life is having my own hottub. Anytime I’m feeling worn out, or my joints are feeling stiff or for whatever reason, I’m just too stressed out, all I have to do is come home, go on my back porch and jump in. That’s…
Still adding to the male tarot cards. I did so many female ones in a row that now I’m having to do a bunch of males to catch up. Wayne was one of the earliest people I cast for the project, but like so many others, it took me a while to get to him. No matter, I’m quite happy with the results.
Day 538 of 365 More. My weekly poker game had been on hiatus since Christmas. Today we started back up. In some ways I almost wish we hadn’t. I wasn’t doing great, but i had ace/nine with an ace on the board and decided to go all in. Everyone folded except one person. Steph of…
I’ve been trying to catch up with the male tarot cards lately, so I’ve done a few shoots of guys.
This one is Marcel on the Six of Cups. All of my sixes have the modern equivalent of suit item. It took me a long time to figure out what a modern cup would be, as drinking technology hasn’t really changed much over the last couple hundred years. But then my friend Katy recommended a simple disposable plastic cup and I knew that was perfect. I had wanted to do a street musician picture anyway, and I like how the saxophone kind of slightly mirrors the cup idea.
Day 537 of 365 More. And now, my sleep schedule is all screwed up. I decided to do that Kevin Smith movie extra gig. My call was 8am, and I didn’t want to be late, so for the first time in ages, I went to sleep early. Around 4am Steph woke me up. The wind…
Day 536 of 365 More. do do do do do do dooo do do do do do — do do do do do do do do do do dooo do – do do do — do — do — do do do Remember a few months ago when Steph and I tried out for Who…
Day 535 of 365 More. Fun fact. I hate the ipod earbuds. Somehow, it became a minor pop-culture status symbol to have trademark white ear buds in your ears once the iPod became popular, but I find them hella uncomfortable. They hurt my ears, and they don’t even stay in all that well. Give me…
Day 534 of 365 More. How’s this for evil? After I recovered from yesterday’s beating, Steph made me clean up my own blood. She’s evil like that. Also did a lot of cleaning in the studio as a whole. It was getting so crowded and messy in there it was hard to work. Now its…
Day 533 of 365 More. People often ask me how Steph feels about me having a constant parade of naked and half naked women running in and out of my studio. Well, this might answer things for you. When Amaya was here last week she left some of her stuff. Her bra and panties, and…
