Day 45 of 365 days. As much as I like the 400D better than my old G3, I gotta say that its a lot easier to take a self portrait with the older camera. I never really used the LCD screen when photographing other stuff, but it was always useful if I wanted to shoot…

Day 40 of 365 days. I can’t believe I’ve been at this for 40 days. I’ve been doing simple snapshots for the last few days, and I decided I wanted to try something a little more ambitious today. This is actually an idea I had for a couple weeks now, but I hadn’t gotten around…

Day 33 of 365 days. And for the sixth day of me Bringing Back the Sexy. Ok, here’s how addicted I am to this project. This is how my day went this morning: Thought of an idea late last night (2am). Didn’t feel like setting it up before I went to bed. Steph wakes me…

Day 32 of 365 days. And for the fifth day of me Bringing Back the Sexy, I decided to go in a little bit of a different direction. I wanted to make sure there was at least one more natural candid kind of shot, even if it isn’t quite as SEXY™ as some of the…

Day 28 of 365 days. So I had been complaining a bit over the last couple of days about being out of ideas for non-gimmicky photos. I made some joking remark about regretting that I wasn’t a cute chick so that I could just toss up a couple glamour shots or artful nudes (the kinds…

Day 16 of 365 days. So I walk up to the local cigarette store to take a picture in front of the "MAVERICK" brand cigarettes sign. Something I’ve been meaning to do for a week now. And then as I’m walking back home and walking down the hill I come up with this other idea…

Day 14 of 365 days. "This will be the high point of my day. It’s all downhill from here." – Lester Burnham, American Beauty So I actually took this shot this morning as kind of a backup shot in case I didn’t come up with something better by the end of the day. Then I…

Day 11 of 365 days. Memoirs of an Invisible Mav. One of the nice things about this project is that it has made me start thinking of different ideas that I wouldn’t normally come up with. I actually had a couple random ideas that weren’t so photoshoppy today, but then this one started baking in…

Day 8 of 365 days. I can’t believe I’m in the second week and still going strong. I have a wrestling show today and I’ve been wanting to find some way to take a picture of myself while I’m in the ring, but I haven’t figured out a good way to do it. Sure, I…

so while browsing flickr, I ran across this photo by stephenpoff. I liked it and then started looking at his photostream and then realized that since the 1st of this year he has taken a self-portrait every day and hopes to do the same every day for a year. I immediately decided that I had to do the same.

This is the first one. Taken on the balcony of my hotel room in Warren, PA where Steph and I are vacationing.
