Day 487 of 365 More. Picture of an addict in action. I’ve actually been trying to quit smoking for a while. Kind of passively trying anyway. A pack of cigarettes lasts me a few days. I generally get by on 5 or 6 a day. Today I had four. Mostly because that’s all I had…
Day 484 of 365 More. Had my last wrestling show of the year earlier today. That took up most of the day. Good show, had fun, but it’ll be nice to have a break from it all. Came home and spent some time working on Elseworld while watching Tombstone (one of my favorite movies). I’ve…
Day 463 of 365 More. Woke up this morning with mail from a model who wanted to shoot today. I was free this afternoon and so I said yes. And then I got stood up. What the hell? Apparently, I’m just the guy that screams "hey walk all over me." Anyway, this evening was the…
It’s been a while since I posted a new tarot card. I just hadn’t been doing them. Partly I needed a break, and partly I just hadn’t been doing shoots in general or those in specific. But I did get one done with Marlo during her shoot.
This is actually one of the earliest ideas I had. When I realized I wanted to use dead and hurt people for the five cards, I decided that I had to do the old tradition of placing coins over the eyes for the coin card. And then when I found out Marlo had a wedding dress, the whole thing just came together.
Somehow, I like the juxtaposition of a wedding and a funeral at the same time. Somehow to me, nothing says worry like a bride who has died in her wedding dress, still holding the bouquet.
Day 453 of 365 More. Here’s how my brain works. I’m actually not as into this project as I used to be. I lost my fascination with it ages ago. I don’t daydream about it. I don’t obsess over getting a specific shot every day. At this point, its pure inertia that gets me through…
Day 450 of 365 More. You know its a great party when you have trouble getting out of bed the next morning. Last night was a great party. Of course, i didn’t wake up in bed with four hot babes, two midgets and a donkey, but hey, it was just halloween, not jammy jam, so…
Day 444 of 365 More. Random Mav-fact: I don’t sleep. I never have. I don’t know why, but for almost as long as I can remember, I’ve slept a lot less than I ever should have. Sometimes I’m not tired. Sometimes I am and I just can’t sleep. Anyway, it means I have a lot…
Day 439 of 365 More. Got a lot accomplished at work today, but still feeling pretty worn out by it all. It’s only Wednesday but at this point, I’m dying for it to be the weekend. I’m just beat. Had a poker game tonight. Took an early chip lead that got whittled away until I…
Marlo was one of the first models I ever met through Model Mayhem, and although we quickly became friends, it was months before we ever got around to doing our photoshoot. Hopefully it was worth the wait.
Ended up using them to make a calendar that we sell.
Day 435 of 365 More. And so Halloween begins, with the first costume contest of the year. This time at Liz’s (one of my model’s) houses. Had a great time, played some drinking games and it looks like I picked up another model for a future shoot. All in all it was a good day,…
Day 430 of 365 More. Steph and I spent the evening playing Scrabble with Marlo. While We were doing it, I decided to take a picture of myself from the board’s position. By the time I got around to snapping the shot, it was all but clear that Steph would be winning the game. Ah…
Day 421 of 365 More. The new attitude is in full effect. One of the reasons I’m always depressed all the time, is that not only do I have to work so much, when I’m not working I find myself boring. I just don’t get to get out cut loose and have fun. Well, tonight…
Day 417 of 365 More. Life sucks sometimes. In fact, life sucks most of the time. I don’t know why that is. But I wish it would stop. Sometimes it does stop. For like ten seconds, the world melts completely away, and everything is ok. Then it goes back to sucking. I wish ten seconds…
Day 415 of 365 More. Won’t you come see about me? I’ll be alone, dancing you know it baby Tell me your troubles and doubts Giving me everything inside and out and Love’s strange so real in the dark Think of the tender things that we were working on Slow change may pull us apart…
Day 414 of 365 More. How to waste a perfectly good evening. The plan for the day was pretty simple. Help a friend move. Take a couple promo shots of Shiima. Then Steph and I were going to go out with a friend to a bar for Karaoke. I was looking forward to a good…
