Day 46 of 365 days. I actually had a half baked idea of doing this a couple weeks ago, but I never really knew where to go with it. Then randomly, sadandbeautiful went and made her own version last week which impressed me quite a bit and made me want to make sure that I…
Day 45 of 365 days. As much as I like the 400D better than my old G3, I gotta say that its a lot easier to take a self portrait with the older camera. I never really used the LCD screen when photographing other stuff, but it was always useful if I wanted to shoot…
Day 44 of 365 days. And now continuing the great Maverick family tradition of Sunday morning breakfast and football. Every Sunday, during football season I invite my friends over to have breakfast and watch the Steelers game. Today is actually the 3rd week of the NFL season, but the first week the Steelers had a…
Day 43 of 365 days. And speaking of not knowing how to use the new camera… Took the 400D to my friend Gina’s yoga studio to take some pictures of her doing pregnancy yoga for her (and give me the chance to become more familiar with it). Took a whole bunch (including all of the…
Day 42 of 365 days. Introducing the camera with which I will be taking the majority of the rest of the pictures in this project. The Canon EOS 400D Digital Rebel XTi. This picture was of course not taken with it, and instead was taken with my old Canon G3. This is the first Digital…
Day 41 of 365 days. After work today I finished winterizing the swimming pool in my backyard. Its always a sad day because it kind of signifies the definitive end of summer for me (though in actuality, its been too cold to use the pool for weeks now). I really wish I had had an…
Day 40 of 365 days. I can’t believe I’ve been at this for 40 days. I’ve been doing simple snapshots for the last few days, and I decided I wanted to try something a little more ambitious today. This is actually an idea I had for a couple weeks now, but I hadn’t gotten around…
Day 38 of 365 days. I had been wanting to take a shot featuring all of my tattoos at some point and when Pi c’s suggested a birthmark challenge it seemed like as good a time as any. These are the various symbols that adorn my body, the dates I got them, and what they…
Day 39 of 365 days. And when it rains it pours. Just when I was getting ready to work on the day 38 picture, my computer crashed. I had to reboot it for a software update and when it came back up, it… well, didn’t come back up. I’m guessing its a logicboard problem, because…
Day 37 of 365 days. And I am now 10% complete. How terribly exciting. Went shopping today. Didn’t buy anything but I spent a lot of time looking at digital SLR cameras. I am feeling very good about the Canon EOS 400D Digital Rebel XTi, and that could very well be the camera that I…
Day 36 of 365 days. I’d been wondering how I was going to do this since I started this project. I knew I wanted to get at least one picture of me wrestling in the set, but how can I take a picture of myself while wrestling without 1) breaking the camera and 2) looking…
Day 35 of 365 days. After a busy week of bringing the sexy back, its not back to business as usual. And it was a thouroughly busy day. A ton of crap to do at work, and then off to wrestling practice. In general just not much time to even think about being creative. On…
Day 34 of 365 days. The seventh and final day of Bringing Back the Sexy. Sometimes its really nice to feel like I have my 365 pic done early and I just don’t have to worry about it the entire next day. I guess I’ll be kinda disappointed if I happen upon doing something really…
Day 33 of 365 days. And for the sixth day of me Bringing Back the Sexy. Ok, here’s how addicted I am to this project. This is how my day went this morning: Thought of an idea late last night (2am). Didn’t feel like setting it up before I went to bed. Steph wakes me…
Day 32 of 365 days. And for the fifth day of me Bringing Back the Sexy, I decided to go in a little bit of a different direction. I wanted to make sure there was at least one more natural candid kind of shot, even if it isn’t quite as SEXY™ as some of the…
