Day 737 of 365 Again. Ouch! You know, when I started this project, I figured sooner or later I was going to get busted open and that would be my picture for the day. I was sure that it would happen sooner or later in a wrestling ring. It never occurred to me that it…

Day 690 of 365 More.

This picture doesn’t have much to do with anything. I just wanted to play around with macros some more.

Did some more searching for an Escape Hybrid. Still don’t have one yet. But I feel better about my options. Still, if someone wants to get me an early birthday present, let me know.

Blah. I really can’t think of anything else to say tonight. That’s weird. Going to a family reunion thing this weekend, not the kinda craziness I usually go for, but it is something different. Hopefully that will rejuvenate me a bit.

Day 683 of 365 More.

Hey look, it’s a TTV. Well, kinda anyway.

I’ve been really burnt out lately. Long day at work and had a lot of work to do on Thursday’s comic when I got home. On top of that, I have to get into work early tomorrow, which means I need to force myself to go to sleep soon, and it’s not even 12:30 and I’m totally not used to that.

Sigh… I’m burnt out. I really need a vacation. And a party. And a pony. Any two of the three would probably do.

Day 676 of 365 More.

Well, my 50mm lens is still broken, but Amazon assures me that a new one has shipped.

I was stuck for an idea today and I kinda started wondering how well the broken lens would work. It has no ability to focus whatsoever, so it was kind of a challenge to move back and forth until I found a spot where I was totally in focus, but I think I nailed it pretty good.

Except for a slight crop (very slight, just got ride of a hair of blackspace on the side) this is right out of the camera. That’s something you don’t see from me very often.

Day 588 of 365 More. Yeah, ok… my eyes are kinda bloodshot. Popular myth. People think I don’t sleep. Nothing could be farther than the truth. Actually I do sleep. Just not as much as most people. I learned a long time ago that even though I don’t need as much sleep with as other…

Day 517 of 365 More. I guess my eyes aren’t that bloodshot, are they? They certainly feel like it. I feel like I haven’t slept in a month. But I think I’m done. Or more or less anyway. I was hoping to have as many as three photoshoots this weekend. One I never got scheduled…

Day 399 of 365 More. One week down, 32 years to go. Oh good god. Actually, it really wasn’t that bad. I’m just tired. Hopefully, I’ll get used to this soon and get back into the swing of things. In the meantime, I have the weekend to hopefully get over this cold and do my…

Day 332 of 365 days. In the interest of closure, I must report that no asteroid the size of Texas struck the planet last night. Had a full day. Drove Steph to work so I could have her van for the day, then I went and talked to the mechanic about fixing my truck. Dunno…

Day 271 of 365 days. Made a little bit of progress on the job front today, as I took calls from 3 different recruiters, including the one i talked to yesterday who thinks that the job she’s recruiting for is a virtual sure thing for me. Of course I’ve heard that before. Interview is tomorrow.…

Day 270 of 365 days. Spent the day working on photos for the most part. I should have two more tarot cards up either tonight or tomorrow, depending on how much work I feel like doing tonight. I did get a call about a job interview on Thursday. Before everyone starts telling me that "see,…

Day 165 of 365 days. For Christmas, I got Steph an easel and a bunch of art products because she wanted to be more creative. She’s even been doing her own 365 Day project as of a couple days ago (using the camera I bought her for our anniversary). But one of the things she…

Day 110 of 365 days. Today, I am 30% of the way through this project. In some ways it feels like I just started and in other ways it feels like I’ve always been doing this. Wanted to play with something different today, so I opted to see what I could do with my new…

Day 99 of 365 days. Tonight Steph and I went to a game night at a friend’s house. We hung out and talked and played cards and board games and I took a picture. I wanted to get a picture of me playing a game but none of them really came out the way I…
