Day 212 of 365 days. One of my earliest ideas was to do a fetal position pic in this project. I just never really got around to it. Funny because it seemed like a really obvious backup picture to do. Turns out, not so much. First of all, I’m neurotic and certainly couldn’t just lay…
Day 211 of 365 days. You know its a lazy weekend day when its basically the evening before you even bother to shower. Steph and I spent the day lounging around the house and playing sudoku before we finally ordered chinese food and got showered to go to a party. I had been wanting to…
Day 209 of 365 days. I was really creative yesterday (and in fact, I thought it was an awesome shot, that didn’t get nearly as much attention as it deserved. I’m kinda pissed about it, actually, so go on ahead and check it out and leave me tons of comments and faves, dammit), so it…
The second completed Tarot Card in my series. Using a shot from the Theresa photoshoot that I thought was perfect for capturing the idea of the card.
I’m using spot color for all of the cup cards, and I really wanted to have a little more in them than appears here, but I feel its important to not overdo it, and the little splash of red wine seems to be perfect for this one.
Other themes of note here: All of my pages are going to be women. I’m considering changing it to the alternate name "Princess" but I like the sound of "Page" some how. Also, all of the pages will be wearing lingerie or bed clothes (as will all of the male knights). The cups, aside from B&W with color cutouts will also all be wearing rather casual or street clothing (i have other methods of dress in mind for other suits).
I also just realized a flaw in my design. I have the number of the card (Roman numeral for Major Arcana) in the upper left hand corner, but the kings and knights will both start with K. This is bad. Any suggestions for avoiding this are appreciated (I am considering Kn for knight).
If anyone has any suggestions or questions about other themes and ideas I have worked out so far, please comment and let me know… its a big job and all input is welcome.

Day 208 of 365 days. I had been meaning to do this shot for a while. Ever since the lovely and talented (take that Amber :-P) Sassyshannon999 made her Inspired by the Film group. It suddenly occurs to me that Scarface is not among my 519 DVDs. Clearly that is some sort of oversight that…
For the take a Class with Dave group. Assignment: Take a picture suggesting religion.
This is a statue outside of one of the 18 billion churches in a three block radius in the Oakland area of Pittsburgh.
Day 207 of 365 days. Sometimes date night isn’t super romantic. Today, Steph and I went to look at carpet for the upstairs bedroom that we’ve bee working on. It’s not exactly a candlelit dinner with handholding, but it was something nice to do and important. Tomorrow they’re coming to measure the attic and soon…
Day 204 of 365 days. Witness the grandmother of all back up shots. It was a pretty long day. First I got a rejection letter in the mail for a job that claims I interviewed well, but I don’t remember even applying for, much less interviewing for. From there, Steph and I went to Gina’s…
Day 202 of 365 days. Oh what a difference a day makes. It’s been an intersting 24 hours. I survived yesterday’s early morning car incident only to spend the entire day taking care of tons of errands (including buying new backdrop cloth for the studio, woohoo!). Then, last night, I went to my friend Mike’s…
Day 199 of 365 days. There was actually a lot I wanted to get around to doing today. Working on some photo editting. Working on my paper for the conference. Playing some quality video games. Didn’t really get to any of that. Instead, I spent the day doing phone interviews for a couple different jobs.…
For the take a Class with Dave group. No real story. I had a to take a picture of something representing three. The week went by without any good ideas and I settled on this. There are three balls and one of them is the three ball. Woohoo!
Stephanie was good enough to pose for me in her underwear a second week in a row for my Class with Dave assignment so long as I kept it PG-13. The assignment of course, was to take a picture representing blue. This was the best idea I could think of. Two weeks, two color cutouts. Go go gadget cliché!
Day 193 of 365 days. I hate when I have one of those weeks without lots of good ideas. This is one of those weeks. I actually spent most of the day doing a photoshoot with my pregnant friend, Gina. (I’ll get those online as soon as I can, I’m still working on the Theresa…
Day 192 of 365 days. I love when I have one of those hugely successful lazy days. Sure I slept in. But even with that, I got some culling of pictures from the photoshoot done. I talked to some job recruiters. I thought about the paper I have to write. I dealt with some unemployment…
Did a photoshoot with Theresa the other day. It was the first time she modeled for me (or anyone) but I think she did great. She’s quite animated and about the friendliest person ever.
The final outfit from the shoot was borrowed from me. Theresa has a very tomboyish look that is adorable and sexy at the same time. So I let her borrow my basketball jersey and a pair of boxers. I think it worked out quite well for her. I’m not giving up on lingerie, but this was a nice switch for a change.
