Five of Coins

It’s been a while since I posted a new tarot card. I just hadn’t been doing them. Partly I needed a break, and partly I just hadn’t been doing shoots in general or those in specific. But I did get one done with Marlo during her shoot.

This is actually one of the earliest ideas I had. When I realized I wanted to use dead and hurt people for the five cards, I decided that I had to do the old tradition of placing coins over the eyes for the coin card. And then when I found out Marlo had a wedding dress, the whole thing just came together.

Somehow, I like the juxtaposition of a wedding and a funeral at the same time. Somehow to me, nothing says worry like a bride who has died in her wedding dress, still holding the bouquet.

Day 456 of 365 More. So, I got my truck back this morning. According to my ticket, I was blocking someone’s driveway and they couldn’t get out so they had me towed. I don’t think I actually was, I almost always check that whenever I park, but I can’t prove that either, so that’s $110…

Day 455 of 365 More. And the hits just keep on coming. Got out of work and couldn’t remember where I parked my car. I always park on the same street on one of two blocks. I don’t always remember where, but its usually easy to find. And yet, I couldn’t. I walked the blocks…

Day 454 of 365 More. Weird thing about working for a small company (we have 15 employees). Sometimes, you end up having to wear multiple hats. Sometimes your company is moving to a new building which is under construction and they say "hey you, artistic boy, come help us figure out what the hell this…

Day 453 of 365 More. Here’s how my brain works. I’m actually not as into this project as I used to be. I lost my fascination with it ages ago. I don’t daydream about it. I don’t obsess over getting a specific shot every day. At this point, its pure inertia that gets me through…

Day 452 of 365 More. So, I’m actually still sick. In the old days, I’d just chug a big bottle of Q and be done with it, but now, I have the problem of having to get up for work in the mornings. *sigh* Damn society! Forcing me to work and shit! Anyway, 24-hour, non-drowsy…

Day 451 of 365 More. With all due apologies to Amaya, Marlo, Sarah and the others, meet my favorite model, Sunrise Adams. Ok, she would be, except that she has no idea who I am and has never posed for me. Given the way I behave, it might surprise people to know that I’m not…

Day 450 of 365 More. You know its a great party when you have trouble getting out of bed the next morning. Last night was a great party. Of course, i didn’t wake up in bed with four hot babes, two midgets and a donkey, but hey, it was just halloween, not jammy jam, so…

Day 449 of 365 More. Another year, another Halloween in the books. Last night was Halloween Jam, possibly the most traditional of my usual parties, because everyone dresses up for Halloween, right? As per usual, my costumes were a super secret surprise. For my first outfit, I was a 1920s gangster. I’d worn that to…

Day 448 of 365 More. Mission complete. A lot of people have been wondering what the secret mssion from 10-14-07 was. Well today I can finally say. Today is Steph and my anniversary. And for a present, I bought her a brand new Wii. The only video game console she has ever wanted. After we…

Day 447 of 365 More. My anniversary is tomorrow. My Halloween party is Saturday. I woke up today as sick as a dog. This is totally not going to work. I could go for downing a bottle of Nyqil, and I haven’t ruled that out, but I think I need results a little faster than…

Day 446 of 365 More. Happy Halloween. I kind of thought that I would do something halloween for today’s picture, but I really wasn’t in the mood. Halloween for me isn’t til this Saturday when the party happens, and we didn’t even really have that many kids trick-or-treating in our neighborhood. So I think I’ll…

Day 445 of 365 More. Today I saw Tori Amos in concert for like the 4th (maybe 5th) time. I actually wasn’t really looking forward to it, but Steph is a huge fan and really wanted to go, so we went. I’ll give her credit for putting on a better show than I’ve ever seen…
