Day 16 of 365 days. So I walk up to the local cigarette store to take a picture in front of the "MAVERICK" brand cigarettes sign. Something I’ve been meaning to do for a week now. And then as I’m walking back home and walking down the hill I come up with this other idea…
Day 15 of 365 days. "Objects in the rear view mirror may appear closer than they are…" -Meat Loaf Didn’t have that many super ideas for today as it was kind of a lazy Saturday. Initially I was going to take a picture of me replastering my attic, but I never got around to going…
Day 14 of 365 days. "This will be the high point of my day. It’s all downhill from here." – Lester Burnham, American Beauty So I actually took this shot this morning as kind of a backup shot in case I didn’t come up with something better by the end of the day. Then I…
Day 13 of 365 days. Yet another heavy photoshop day. I think I may be done with that for tomorrow, but who knows. Anyway, again an idea I had on the way home from work. Where all the most creative thinking is done. I’m posting it after midnight but that because I had to put…
Day 12 of 365 days. My tribute to Nick Nolte, James Brown and all the other celebrities who have graced the pages of the Smoking Gun. Why is it that celebrities never look good in mug shots? Did they all just come from losing their weekly poker game like I did? (eliminated first this week……
Day 11 of 365 days. Memoirs of an Invisible Mav. One of the nice things about this project is that it has made me start thinking of different ideas that I wouldn’t normally come up with. I actually had a couple random ideas that weren’t so photoshoppy today, but then this one started baking in…
Day 10 of 365 days. And back to silly artistic wankery. I actually had this idea a couple days ago, but it wasn’t til tonight that I really felt like going into my basement and playing a solo game of pool. There were a couple shots that I really liked and I couldn’t make up…
Day 9 of 365 days. Did some shopping, had a BBQ, went to Hooters to watch a WWE wrestling PPV with some wrestler friends. When it all comes down to it, the simple truth is that I’m not going to be able to finish this project if I expect to go out of my way…
Day 8 of 365 days. I can’t believe I’m in the second week and still going strong. I have a wrestling show today and I’ve been wanting to find some way to take a picture of myself while I’m in the ring, but I haven’t figured out a good way to do it. Sure, I…
Day 7 of 365 days. And so ends the first week. This is the first picture taken with a camera phone instead of my proper camera, it might not be the last But really, I just used it because it was available. Anyway, I had to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get…
Day 6 of 365 days. I really liked this idea but it never took off the way i wanted it to. I started working on it too late and I worked on it up to 11:59 and then stopped because I like to keep it real, dammit. In any case, the effect is neat and…
Day 5 of 365 days. I actually came up with the idea of shooting my weekly poker game about two days ago. I’m glad the shot came out ok because I never got around to shooting any back-up pictures today. It’s certainly not the most creative of the series so far but I think it…
day 4 of my 365 days project. The neat thing about this whole process is the evolution of ideas. On day one, as soon as I decided to do the project I knew exactly the shot I wanted to start with. I had the ideas for day 2 and 3 both during day 1, so…
