Day 143 of 365 days. I didn’t have much of an idea for most of the day. I was just in a dark mood. Not really as depressed as this looks, just kind of dark. Mostly I was really tired. Did a lot of reading and took a couple naps. Tomorrow I guess I need…

Day 139 of 365 days. Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of men? The Maverick knows. The creative process is an interesting thing. I actually set out to make a black and white with this shot. I placed my lights so that I’d have nice heavy darks and hard contrast with my backdrop.…

Day 138 of 365 days. I’ve actually had an idea for a cool long exposure, playing with light picture since very early on in this project. Its been written down on my idea white board. This is not it. I don’t want to attempt it until I’m sure I can pull it off exactly the…

Day 133 of 365 days. For some reason I thought it’d be a good idea today to attempt to really capture a single moment. Something that I pretty much never do. Take one shot and just hope its perfect. I did it and got home and looked at the shot and its not as perfect…

Day 132 of 365 days. It was such a long day. it started out ok. Went to work, made plans to go over and exchange presents with a friend this evening, came home, and then my troubles began. Supposedly I should be able to get high definition feeds of the local Pittsburgh channels through my…

Day 131 of 365 days. Well the headache did get better, but that’s about it. I have a bad shoulder from wrestling, and its acting up with all the weather changes and stuff, so I’m sore as hell. It’s actually been hurting for the last couple of days. I keep meaning to take some time…

Day 128 of 365 days. (This is sort of an unintentional copycat of sorts of Sick Little Monkey’s pic from yesterday. I ‘ve had the idea to do it for a few days now, but I had more time sensitive pics the last couple days. Originally this was planned to be the shot from the…

Day 126 of 365 days. Merry Christmas to me! To paraphrase the great poet and philosopher Eric Cartman, "I have a PS3. Who wants to touch me?" I went to Electronics Boutique to buy a birthday present for a friend of mine today. While there, I happened to get into a conversation with the salesman…

Day 122 of 365 days. Yep, I’m definitely getting sick. Oh well. Today marks the completion of one third of this project. I wanted to mark it with something dynamic. I actually came up with this idea a couple days ago, but wanted to save it til today to mark the occasion. I’m glad I…

Day 121 of 365 days. Back to basics. I haven’t done a good sitting in shadows picture in a couple weeks, so I decided it was about time. Actually I decided yesterday, but I didn’t have the time to devote to it til today. It started out being a pretty good day, actually. Slept in,…

Day 114 of 365 days. Yesterday, I was "called out." In a nice and friendly way, sure. But make no mistake about it, Jack Scoresby and Stephen Poff laid a punk card down right in front of me. Jack and Stephen are fellow photographers, who also both happen to be doing this crazy 365 Days…

Day 113 of 365 days. Two days in a row with two backup pictures. Had a very busy day. Spent the morning painting the attic with Steph and then this evening went to Jill’s birthday dinner. I actually did take some pictures there but mostly other people. Actually took this one at her place while…

Day 112 of 365 days. There were many opportunities for a kick ass picture today. There was a torrential downpour this morning. A massive windstorm this afternoon and I went to a flickr event this evening. And yet none of the photos I took compared to this. And so here’s what we have. What I…
