Day 1280 of 365 4 lyf. Been playing with my Black and Light style again. I’ve been thinking of maybe putting together a phtoography book in that style and I wonder if people would be interested in buying it. I really need to get a publishing deal. 365 days

Day 1256 of 365 4 lyf. So yesterday, I dedicated my photo to the Human Target since it was premiering. But today, I figure I might as well dedicate my photo to 24 which had night one of its two night premiere right afterwards. Night two was tonight of course. Now excuse me while I…

Day 1248 of 365 4 lyf. You know what’s neat about taking a picture of yourself every day? It means you can pretty much go back to some arbitrary point in the past and see what was going on in your life back then. What you looked like. Compare. See how you’ve changed. So today…

Day 1246 of 365 4 lyf. This looks like my regular backup shot, doesn’t it? Well, it’s not really. I have this thing where I hate strobes, but they’re kinda useful, so I’ve bought some new ones (Alien Bees B800s) and some nice professional remote triggers and I’ve been practicing with them. So this is…

Four of Cups – yi 1

Four of Cups - yi 1

Ok, brand new tarot cards. Well, replacement ones.

The rough thing about the Tarot Project is that since it’s taking me so long, I tend to change my mind about ideas from time to time, which in turn means it takes me even longer since I have to redo certain cards.

I’ve grown unhappy with my theme for the fours (blind) and so I’ve decided to redo all of them. I realized I didn’t have water represented, so that’s what they’re going to be now.

So I shot with Yi the other day for some zivity photos and for the tarot set and I came up with two possibiliites I kind of like for the new four of cups. So I need to know from all of you. Which one is better?

Day 1215 of 365 4 lyf. Bah Humbug! Christmas is right around the corner and I’m still not done shopping. I know, I know I have more than two weeks, but I just don’t like it. Too much stress, too much freaking out. Oh well, I’ll get there. 365 days

Day 1203 of 365 4 lyf. Tryptophan. Most people say it’s a myth. That turkey doesn’t make you drowsy. Those people can go to hell. Had thanksgiving dinner with Steph’s family, came home and tried to do some work. Problem is I’m beat. Big day tomorrow. Time to start the Chrismas shopping season. 365 days

Day 1181 of 365 4 lyf. So for our anniversary, among other things, Steph and I got brand new iPhones. There were a lot of reasons I was looking forward to this, but one that I hadn’t really been thinking about is how much better the built-in camera on this one. And if you’re gonna…

Day 1179 of 365 4 lyf. plus ça change, plus c’est la même chose Do you know what I was doing 1096 days ago? Exactly this. Do you know what I was doing 4017 days ago? Pretty much the same thing. Steph and I have been together for 11 years today. Only six more payments…

Day 1173 of 365 4 lyf. I sort of had the idea today to do a shot in the style of one of my favorite movies. Tombstone. I was thinking what I wanted to do with my life and I thought it might be fun to become a US Marshall and run the Cowboy (McClary/Clampett)…

Day 1171 of 365 4 lyf. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry. Ok, I’m not angry. Not at all, actually. I just hadn’t done a black and light highkey image in a while and I love them. I decided I just wanted to have some energy about this one, so I tried to go…

Day 1168 of 365 4 lyf. Way back when i was unemployed and first getting into this project, one of my favorite things to do was take pictures in different locations. Using neat scenery. As time went on, I kind of fell out of that. No time to go anywhere, no energy to be inventive.…
