Day 1208 of 365 4 lyf. You know, I can’t believe i never got around to doing this shot before just now. Sometimes it’s the simplest things that escape us. I’ll have to endeavor to remember that more often in everyday life. 365 days

Day 1207 of 365 4 lyf. I wasn’t really in the mood to take a picture today, so I went in the studio to default to one of my usual backup shots. But then I didn’t really want to do that either. What to do, what to do? Then it occurred to me that it…

Day 1206 of 365 4 lyf. So, last year Steph and I decided to make our own christmas cards. We liked how they turned out so much that we decided that maybe we’d do it again. I really can’t see us tossing together a standard "here’s what our family did this year" newsletter thingee, so…

Day 1205 of 365 4 lyf. If you’ve been around my photostream for a while, you might recognize Nicki who modeled for me a couple times way way back. Well, she graduated and moved away, but was home for Thanksgiving, visiting her family, so when she mentioned that she’d be going out to Hines Ward’s…

Day 1204 of 365 4 lyf. So it’s Black Friday. The first day of the Christmas shopping season. I actually really like shopping, like a whole lot. My mother and my grandmother drilled into me at a very young age that you never ever ever pass up a good sale. But I’m just not the…

Day 1203 of 365 4 lyf. Tryptophan. Most people say it’s a myth. That turkey doesn’t make you drowsy. Those people can go to hell. Had thanksgiving dinner with Steph’s family, came home and tried to do some work. Problem is I’m beat. Big day tomorrow. Time to start the Chrismas shopping season. 365 days

Day 1202 of 365 4 lyf. So I’ve been trying really hard to get back in shape lately. Steph works at Carnegie Mellon University, which means we have full access to their gym. Aside from working out at home, we’ve been going there once a week. Today I didn’t stretch as properly as I should…

Day 1201 of 365 4 lyf. So certain people have been telling me that I should work on selling my stuff more often. I’ve had a DeviantArt account for a couple years now, but I never got around to doing anything with it. But since they allow you to sell prints of your stuff, I…

Day 1200 of 365 4 lyf. Sometimes you have to love technology. This picture wasn’t taken with my macro lens on my DSLR. It wasn’t even taken with the macro setting on my point and shoot. I almost never do straight out of camera, the quality on a simple shot directly out of my iPhone…

Day 1199 of 365 4 lyf. There’s good news and bad news. The good news is that I had a great weekend. I got a new tarot card shot. I got to hang out with some of my best friends on both Satuday and Sunday night. Got some quality drinking and relaxing in and basically…

Day 1198 of 365 4 lyf. So I take a lot of studio shots for 365s, but a lot of them are lazy really. Standard lighting. Just go in there and shoot against the backdrop. Save to computer. Minimal editing. Upload and done. This may look like that to casual eye, but it’s really so…

Day 1197 of 365 4 lyf. How did we exist in this world before bluetooth? I honestly don’t remember. I find it really hard to work without background noise, so I tend to keep my headphones on and listen to my iPhone the entire day at work. The only problem is that the wire gets…

Day 1196 of 365 4 lyf. You know what today is? Today is day 100 of year four of this project. Pretty funny when I didn’t think I’d make it two weeks, huh? Funny thing is, I didn’t realize that until just before I took this picture. I’m not even dressed up for it. I’m…

Day 1195 of 365 4 lyf. I go through phases. Sometimes I’m dieting and working out like crazy. Then I get lazy and I gain all the weight back. The last couple weeks I’ve been in crazy mode. It’s not working fast enough. I really have to get to taking better care of myself long…

Day 1194 of 365 4 lyf. Ok, time to pimp another cool iPhone app. Urban Spoon. IPRettu simple really. It gives recommendations for places to eat based on where you happen to be standing. But the new iPhone 3GS version is awsome. Striaght our of science fiction. Basically you can go into scope mode, which…
