Day 123 of 365 days. This is actually something I wanted to do for a while. Kind of an abstracted self portrait. Actually its just a macro of my skin. I hadn’t been able to really get it before because I couldn’t get my hand far enough away from the 300mm lens to focus on…
Day 119 of 365 days. Today after work, Steph and I went to a going away party for a couple we know. It was an evening of fun where we discussed politics and books and college and football and tv shows. Had a great time with old friends and some that I didn’t even know.…
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 111 of 365 days. So far, I had more or less gone out of my way to not really repeat ideas for the entire year. But I got to thinking last night that really, the vast majority of my self-portraits (and everyone else in the world’s portraits for that matter) amount to "here’s a…
Day 110 of 365 days. Today, I am 30% of the way through this project. In some ways it feels like I just started and in other ways it feels like I’ve always been doing this. Wanted to play with something different today, so I opted to see what I could do with my new…
Day 106 of 365 days. The worst part of the holiday season is the packing on of pounds. It starts with Thanksgiving dinner, moves through Christmas dinner and all the way to the drunken debauchery of New Years. Even on the non-important days like today, I end up doing silly stuff like going out shopping…
Day 96 of 365 days. Ever since I started letting my hair really grow out I developed kind of a nervous tick. Whenver I’m bored or stressed and can’t get to a cigarette, or I’m trying to not smoke them, I tend to braid my own hair. Lately I’ve noticed that the braids are even…
Day 92 of 365 days. Ever have one of those days where you feel trapped in your own life? I’m having one of those lives. Not that today was particularly bad. In fact, it was quite ok, got a lot of work done. Finished the long neglected plastering of my attic. Hung out with Steph…
Day 91 of 365 days. Another one of those days where I really didn’t feel like doing anything exciting so I kind of used one of my fall back ideas. I actually kind of like how this turned out. It was kind of inspired by those old jeans and dockers commercials. One thing I want…
Day 89 of 365 days. When I started this project I never envisioned how popular it would become. I figured maybe I’d have like 5 other people doing it and maybe 10-15 friends who were paying attention to my narcissism. I never thought for a moment that I’d have a group of over 1000 people…
Day 83 of 365 days. Today was the 8th anniversary of my first date with Steph. We celebrate it as any married couple would celebrate their anniversary. Its just that we never really bothered to get married. We’re quite content to just be living in sin. Really, we’ll fix that any day now. Anyway, we…
Day 60 of 365 days. Back to black and white photos. Another Tuesday date night for steph and I. This time at Piper’s Pub, a little Scottish place on the Southside of Pittsburgh. If I had this shot to take over again, I’d probably adjust Steph’s ring so tht it was pointing more out towards…
Day 47 of 365 days. Initially, I had another idea for today. An original one, not a copy cat, but then I got all wrapped up in dealing with an issue on my blog. For those who don’t know, I’m a pretty avid blogger, and I write about a whole bunch of things, from my…
