Day 583 of 365 More. I said my self-portraits would be suffering for the near future, and I wasn’t kidding. I spent the entire day glued to my laptop. I was up til 7am last night working on the comic, and started again as soon as I woke up. I took a couple breaks. One…

Day 579 of 365 More. I am oh so very tired… Apparently I misset my alarm clock or something somehow and overslept by more than an hour, which meant I had to haul ass to make my meeting on time. I think my boss is a little pissed at me for that, but luckily the…

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 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 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 556 of 365 More. It’s cold. Bitterly cold. I’ve kind had enough of it. There were rumors that it was going to be warmer this week. It now appears that was a filthy lie. Got up early today to get to work and run a client meeting. It’s funny. I’m not a morning person.…

Day 545 of 365 More. Spent a nice relaxing evening with Steph tonight. We went to dinner. Went shoe shopping. And then came home and watched bad television. What could be more fun than that. That said, after she went to bed, I did watch a comedy special, My Buddy Bill, comedy writer Rick Cleveland’s…

Day 544 of 365 More. I had two photoshop heavy days in a row and I just didn’t have the energy left to do a third,so today it was back to just nice, good old-fashioned well lit studio portrait photography. It’s good to have something nice to fall back on. That said if you didn’t…

A couple weeks ago, Tate Nations, master of skateboard photography, was nice enough to do a tutorial for the 365 Podcast which I cohost. During the same episode, I did a tutorial on shooting high contrast black and whites. Tate said he’d try my technique if I’d try some of his. So this weekend, I…

Day 539 of 365 More. One of the nice things about my life is having my own hottub. Anytime I’m feeling worn out, or my joints are feeling stiff or for whatever reason, I’m just too stressed out, all I have to do is come home, go on my back porch and jump in. That’s…
