Day 344 of 365 days. Would you believe I met Hermoine Granger today, all grown up? Ok, not really. But I did finally get around to taking pictures of Sarah. Sarah is a model who was a friend of another of my models and wanted a chance to shoot with me. I started talking with…

Day 343 of 365 days. I wonder how many days in a row I can just take a picture of me just holding something in front of me in my studio and keep it interesting. So I had my job interview today. I actually thought it went better than any I’ve been to in a…

Day 342 of 365 days. Steph and I finally got our Who Wants to be a Millionaire. We will not be appearing on the show as a couple or individually. Honestly I wasn’t really expecting much, but it’s really par for the course. Now I’m getting GFYs from TV game shows. I did manage to…

Eight of Swords

Eight of Swords

Two days, two tarot cards in a row. It’s like I’m on a roll.

Adam posed for this card while my computer was in the shop. I really wanted to find a way to really take advantage of the drawing style of the sword cards and still be kind of dynamic. This is what I came up with. All the Eight cards are going to have the symbol incorporated into them as part of the design.

Nine of Staffs

Nine of Staffs

It’s been a while since I posted a new Tarot card. I actually had to take a break from it when my computer was in the shop. While it was down D and Adam were in town to pose for their cards. I finished editing D’s tonight. Adam’s will be up soon though, and I’m probably shooting two more this week as well. I need to get some more of the guy cards done. Never thought I’d say that.

Anyway, I was concerned about this one. I was worried that D’s green hair would come across as too punk and not preppy enough to be a staff card, but upon completion I think the hair color combined with the thong and the fire just make the card a little edgier witout moving her into goth per se. She’s certainly not A&F here, but I’d still think she was kind of trendy. Opinions?

Day 338 of 365 days. Today was pretty bittersweet. I actually had a great day. Steph and I drove out to West Virginia to visit Amaya. She and her roommate took us up into the mountains to hang out at a waterfall. It wasn’t really a photoshoot. More of a picnic. We took beer and…

Day 336 of 365 days. Ok, I’m maybe a little neurotic. Maybe a little. This is probably one of the most personal posts I’ve made in a long time. As I sit here editing it, I realize more and more how hard it is to admit these things out loud to anyone especially the entire…

Day 328 of 365 days. So, I probably have a job. At least for a little while. It’s not really what I want, but I think I’ll be able to do it. You know, if the soul sucking corporate machine doesn’t make me drink myself into oblivion. As of right now, its a contract and…

Day 326 of 365 days. If I don’t have a job soon, I’m just going to give up and move under a bridge, grow a hunchback and start collecting tolls. A company I used to work for called me yesterday and asked me to come in to interview for a position this afternoon. I also…
