Day 549 of 365 More. So very very tired… I had aspirations of writing a blog entry tonight. I had aspirations of working on some shots of Sarah. I had a lot of good intentions. It just didn’t happen. Worked a long day, and it was bitterly cold outside. So things were bad to start…

Day 548 of 365 More. It was another wrestling day. So it was once again, out to Wheeling West Virginia to be dropped on my head for the amusement of the fans. Had a nice little match against Jason Gory as the show opener, which I totally should have won, except when I had the…

Day 544 of 365 More. I had two photoshop heavy days in a row and I just didn’t have the energy left to do a third,so today it was back to just nice, good old-fashioned well lit studio portrait photography. It’s good to have something nice to fall back on. That said if you didn’t…

Day 542 of 365 More. It’s been quite a while since I did a superhero pic. I didn’t have a good idea for today, I figured it was a good day to bust out the old photoshop skills. Maybe I should do a tutorial about this kinda thing some day on the 365 Podcast. Of…

Day 541 of 365 More. Once upon a time, there was a boy named Plaxico Burress. Plax was gifted with much height and large hands and all the physical tools that one might look at him and expect that he’d be a top notch NFL receiver. Unfortunately, he had an IQ of slightly less than…

King of Swords

King of Swords

I always love when i get the chance to work with someone who’s not a model. Most people seem to think that they don’t photograph well. But I think that given the right circumstance and concept, anyone can be great.

Doc is the bouncer at the Tennyson, and had seen some of the other tarot cards and was telling me how much he liked them. I looked at him for a moment and then knew that he’d be great for the King of Swords. He has just the kind of imposing and menacing frame that really suits what I wanted for this card.

The shoot was easy and straightforward and I think turned out exactly right.

Day 540 of 365 More. Don’t I look so pretty? Ok, maybe not. I bought a vanity, to use in one of my Tarot card shoots that is coming up. I was kind of wondering what I would do with it after its over though. But I kind of like it. I may just leave…

Day 537 of 365 More. And now, my sleep schedule is all screwed up. I decided to do that Kevin Smith movie extra gig. My call was 8am, and I didn’t want to be late, so for the first time in ages, I went to sleep early. Around 4am Steph woke me up. The wind…

Day 535 of 365 More. Fun fact. I hate the ipod earbuds. Somehow, it became a minor pop-culture status symbol to have trademark white ear buds in your ears once the iPod became popular, but I find them hella uncomfortable. They hurt my ears, and they don’t even stay in all that well. Give me…

Day 531 of 365 More. The day started off long and bad. Really, its not tons better. But I don’t want to get into details. Suffice it to say, I’m trying to put the badness behind me. I am once again attempting to put together a tutorial for the podcast on black and whites. I…

Day 530 of 365 More. I have these days when I get really down on myself. Where I start thinking about this whole "being an aritst" thing and start wanting to reexamine my life. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I want to quit. Really I have no interest in that. And I’m not…

Day 529 of 365 More. I love when I come home and there is a package from Amazon. It’s like Christmas. Today I came home to discover that the mailman had brought my Batman and Spiderman training manuals. Just what I need to continue my journey to becoming a superhero. Lessons on crafting your costume,…

And here’s the end of the Amaya/Sarah lapdance photos. I’m quite pleased with how the whole thing turned out, and I thank both girls for shooting it with me. Their chemistry was great and I’m quite pleased with how it turned out. They really are my favorites and I can’t wait to work with them again.

I especially love this shot as it works very well with the companion shot from when Sarah was still "in drag."
