Day 81 of 365 days. I don’t know what happened to the kids of today. When I was a kid we had TONS of trick or treaters coming to the house on halloween. We’d actually run out of candy sometimes. Past experience these last couple of years taught me that getting that kind of turn-out…

Day 80 of 365 days. The best part about Halloween is the candy. Ok, not really, the best part is getting to play dress up. The second best part is the candy. No wait, that’s wrong too. The very bestest part of Halloween is the parties when girls can dress like a total slut and…

Day 79 of 365 days. The worst part about parties is easily the clean-up the next day. Luckily, our trash pick-up day is Monday, so when we have a party on a Saturday its really convenient to be able to take all of the garbage right out to the curb that. Realized it had been…

Day 70 of 365 days. I actually like this shot a lot. Its kind of weird as I wasn’t really feeling very creative today until I actually got in front of the camera. Then I really wanted to get something nice. I’m really starting to like the high contrast black and white pictures and I…

Day 69 of 365 days. Back to black and white. It was storming outside since this afternoon. And I thought GREAT! Because I keep wanting to get a good pic taken in a storm. unfortunately, by the time I got home from work it had both slowed up and was too dark to really get…

Day 67 of 365 days. I actually kind of had this idea on my own, but then I saw that someone else had done it as well, so this is a www.flickr.com/groups/365days/discuss/72157594296835641. I had been thinking of doing this for the last week or so. I just hadn’t had a good moment to really sit…

Day 61 of 365 days. I actually had kind of a photoshoppy idea for today, but then I wasn’t really in the mood. Had my weekly poker game tonight, and after having an early commanding lead for quite a while, but after a couple bad breaks I ended up getting eliminated first. That’s just how…

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 58 of 365 days. For some reason I’ve been on this big "black and white" photo kick this week. I don’t know why? It just has something to do with my mood I guess… and I haven’t really "felt" like color. In any case, went to Steph’s brother’s house to celebrate his birthday. Played…

Day 57 of 365 days. Believe it or not, I don’t just say as gorgeously hunky as I am naturally. it takes a bit of work. Work that I have been neglecting lately. One of the secrets to staying in shape is to take some of your exercise equipment (notably this elliptical machine Steph and…

Day 56 of 365 days. Rather than having dining room furniture, Steph and I have converted our dining room into an old fashioned bar. The corner piece of it is a bar my grandfather built back in 1976. When he died a couple years ago, I inherited it and transported it to our house. I…

Day 55 of 365 days. Long, long, long day at work, followed by having to go shopping. Got home and I was exhausted. I actually had a more ambitious photo in mind, but I just didn’t have the energy to deal with it. So instead todays shot is me enjoying a much needed stress relieving…

Day 54 of 365 days. It’s Wednesday and that makes it new comic book day. Phantom of the Attic is my local comic book shot and I have been shopping there for 14 years. There’s not much of a story here, but since going to the store once a week is such a big part…

Day 52 of 365 days. I was a big fan of making these for a while, but I never really shot one with a person in it. Much less myself in a self portrait. The trick is to stand really still for both shots. I admit, I had to ask Steph for assistance here. I…

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…
