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…
More shots from the Yara photoshoot I did on Thursday. I’m quite pleased with that shoot. I think I got a nice set out of it.
In this one I was trying some other photo processing techniques. Closer to what I’m doing with the Staff cards. I was going for kind of a "300" feel to it.
Had a photoshoot with Yara, a model that I met on Model Mayhem on Thursday. She’s my Queen of Swords for the Tarot Deck. Even though I only needed one shot for the Tarot set, I got a bunch of good ones of her. These are some of my favorites.

This won’t mean anything to most people (and 10 points to you if you do get the reference), but this one, more than any other just has a Hyrkanian feel to it. But the pose and facial expression weren’t quite right for the feel I was going for with the Queen of Swords card. Still, I like it, so I wanted to get it posted as well.

I love how her stomach is featured in this one, and with the sword on her head (even though she isn’t balancing it), this pic just really said belly dancing to me.

The problem with some of the tarot cards is they require very specific casting. Judgement, for instance requires a newborn baby and a mother. And since the major arcana cards are all nude, it required a naked newborn and mother. So, when a friend of mine had one I certainly wasn’t going to pass up the opportunity.
Connie was nice enough to bring over her four week old son, Thomas Jefferson so they could pose for my tarot deck. I am quite grateful, and I’m sure this will traumatize him 13 years from now.
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,…
Pinky came over and posed for me the other day. The result, yet another Tarot card. The first one in the Staffs suit. I’m still not totally sure I like the effect of this one. I keep floating between loving it and thinking its not quite right. I like that its vibrant and distinct. I was initially going for kind of an airbrush effect, but then started going with a tinge of "300"-style postprocessing. I really need it to have a distinct contrast with the swords cards, but I want to make sure its obvious that its processed.
So I’d definitely like feedback here. What do you think?
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…
