Day 573 of 365 More. I remember when I used to win poker games. Damn, those were the good old days. Actually, I didn’t play badly tonight. For a while I just wasn’t getting the cards. I ended up short stacked and then I had K♣-J♣ with a 4♣-2♣-6♠ flop. I decided it was time…
Day 572 of 365 More. Sometimes I just want to get away. I wish it was that easy. I used to do a lot of virtual world stuff like this. Back when I was in high school I had the theory that computers would be the new art. I believed the whole science fiction theory…
Day 571 of 365 More. It’s the little things we take for granted. You know, little things like electricity. You’d be amazed at how much stff in the house doesn’t work when the power goes out. Sure, I mean, I figured the TV would be out. But you also lose the internet, and more importantly,…
Day 570 of 365 More. If you keep running around at 100 miles an hour, sooner or later you’re going to crash. Later came today. I wanted to come straight home from work and get right back into scripting Cosmic Hellcats, but by the last 30 min. or so of the work day I was…
Day 569 of 365 More. Witness the creative process. Maverick Studios isn’t just for photography. I alluded to my new project in yesterday’s pic. Today I spent the day working on it. I first decided I wanted to be an artist when I was seven years old. Only I didn’t so much want to be…
Day 568 of 365 More. We’re off to outer space We’re leaving Mother Earth To save the human race Our Star Blazers Searching for a distant star Heading off to Iscandar Leaving all we love behind Who knows what danger we’ll find? We must be strong and brave Our home we’ve got to save If…
Day 567 of 365 More. Time for some R&R. I spent the entire week working overtime in order to get my project done to demo on friday. I woke up early Friday morning with a really bad stomach ache, but it didn’t really matter because I had to go present to the client one way…
Day 566 of 365 More. At work they wanted file headshots of everyone in my company (its a small company) so guess who got elected to that duty. I don’t mind really. But it reminds me how much I’d rather be taking pictures than working. Maybe I’ll play the Powerball this weekend. It should be…
Day 565 of 365 More. I live in Pittsburgh. And like all Pittsburghers, I hate television football announcers. Actually, I disliked them before I even moved here. But once I moved here, and found that its standard fare for Pittsburghers to turn down the TV volume and watch the game with the radio on, well……
Day 564 of 365 More. There just aren’t enough hours in the day. Not even close. I did get a lot done at work today, but when i came home I spent the entire evening editing photos and researching my next photo project (which I actually have a really great idea for, and hopefully one…
Day 563 of 365 More. I still hate strobes. I really do. I mean, I guess it works well enough, but I can really tell. This pic just looks a little colder and harder than what I like. Anyway, I got the remote triggers in for my flash today. It seems to misfire on occasion…
Day 562 of 365 More. I have a genius level IQ. I double majored at one of the most prestigious colleges in this country. I created a worldwide self portrait community that has touched the lives of thousands. I’ve designed websites and software for billion dollar corporations. I’m a published author. A professional wrestler. a…
Day 561 of 365 More. I’ve wanted to learn to brew my own beer for a long time. I don’t know why. I’m perfectly capable of picking up a case at the distributor. But something about the process just always seemed cool. My mother bought me a kit for Christmas, but I never got around…
Day 560 of 365 More. We hadn’t played Rockband in a while, so Steph and I decided to invite our neighbors over to play. We got a lot farther in the game than we had previously, including finally opening up Blue Oyster Cult’s Don’t Fear the Reaper. Any game is automatically made better with the…
Day 559 of 365 More. I hate flash photograohy. I think I’ve mentioned that before. I know I’ve said it on the podcast. 9,999,999 out of 10,000,000, I’d rather use my good old fashioned hot lights. The problem is , it’s really hard to take my entire studio with me wherever I go, so I…
