Did a photoshoot with Shiima and Mallory today. These are the first three shots I finished from it. More to come, including two new tarot cards. Would love to hear people’s thoughts.
Shiima is a wrestling friend of mine. My former tag team partner, in fact, until he decided he wanted to be a good guy and I had to turn on him. Shame about that. Still he’s fun to hang out with, and the pics turned out good.
Spent the day with my friend Cheryl who is visiting from Seattle. Obviously no one can visit me without doing a photoshoot. So this is the first of the shots that I have processed of her. More to come when we’re done hanging out.
Back before I was a bum (errr… starving artist), I used to be a pretty decent user interface (UI) designer. Cheryl was my intern. Over the years she’s become a really good friend. These days, Cheryl lives in Seattle where she designs video games for Nintendo Gameboys (right now she’s doing Shrek 3 and Pirates of the Caribbean 3). She’s also one of the voices in the game the crazy successful Sims video games (she’s a little easier to understand in real life). So whenever you play a video game, keep in mind that it might not exist were it not for my supremely excellent mentoring skills.
Day 253 of 365 days. So in the middle of the day, Steph walks up to me and says that since its a nice day we should go out and see the buffalos. I counter with the obvious. Yes, it is a nice day, but we live in Pittsburgh, there are no buffalos. She assured…
Day 252 of 365 days. Ok, I am ready to stop getting sick now any day. Really I am. I’ve been feeling pretty ok lately. And I woke up ok today, but I had developed a sore throat by about noon or one. Not too big a deal, except that I had a wrestling show…
Day 248 of 365 days. Spent the whole day working on my website. That’s right, I’m up and open for business. I still have a lot of other stuff to work on with it, and its not "Internet Explorer 6" compliant yet, but if people want to look at it and let me know what…
Day 246 of 365 days. Long long day. Spent this morning working on my website (I’ll be happy when I finish it, and of course will post a link), and then it was off to Martin’s Ferry, Ohio for a wrestling show. Steph and Jameel were nice enough to accompany me so there were at…
Day 246 of 365 days. I don’t have a whole lot to say about today. I spent the entire day working on my website. Hopefully I’ll be done in another couple of days. I need to buy some webspace to host it on. Which is more money that I don’t really feel like spending, but…
Day 245 of 365 days. TGIF. It kinda loses something when you don’t have a job. Oh well. Spent the morning working on my new website, which hopefully I’ll have done in a week or so. Then spent the afternoon cleaning the old bedroom/new studio. I’m so awful at cleaning. I’m getting it done, but…
Day 244 of 365 days. I was hoping to take a picture outside today while I was running errands, but it was pretty much muggy and rainy and disgusting all day, so I punted on that. Ayway, I spent the day picking up stuff for Steph so that she can use her computer in her…
Day 243 of 365 days. Way back in August before I started this project, I had a house party. In fact, it was the grandmama of all house parties. The fabled pajama jammy jam. It was a really good party and everyone had a lot of fun, but there was a small bit of collateral…
Day 241 of 365 days. I may be sick as a dog, but that doesn’t mean I had an easy day. I spent most of the day moving things from my old bedroom to my new one. Tonight will be the first night Steph and I sleep up there on the new bed. I am…
Day 240 of 365 days. And I’m home… finally. Not that I didn’t have a nice time in Boston, because I did. But its nice to be home now too. All the traveling has made it harder for me to get over my flu. And Meron was sick too, so I’m really hoping we didn’t…
Day 238 of 365 days. Spent a lazy day in Boston. I’m mostly over being sick, but I’m still really tired from everything the flu took out of me, and my lungs are full of fluid, so I’m coughing a lot. It was really cold, and my friend, Meron, is also sick, so we mostly…
Day 237 of 365 days. And I am done. The talk went well. About 30 people attended my session, and they seemed more interested in me than the other speakers (at least judging by the question and answer phase). One of the panelists didn’t show up so I had a little more time to talk…
Day 235 of 365 days. I’ve done long exposure shots before, even in this project, so I was really hoping to use this weeks Class With Dave assignment to do something else, but I haven’t had the time what with working on my paper (I’ve gotten it "complete." Tomorrow is for editing and turning it…
