Day 1178 of 365 4 lyf. Trick or treat. When I was a kid, I thought whoever came up with it was a genius. Once a year you get to dress up and carry a pillow case around and hit up every house in a five mile radius for free candy. Everything you’d ever want…

Day 1177 of 365 4 lyf. Welcome to Evaline. Pittburgh’s biggest house party. This is the first year in the last several that I didn’t have a Halloween party. There was enough other stuff going on that I just didn’t feel like bothering. Friday night, Steph and I went to Amaya’s party. Then today, Steph…

Day 1176 of 365 4 lyf. So, no one was able to guess my Halloween costume. But now, hopefully you all get it. I’m pretty pleased with this one, and I was a huge hit at the party. It wasn’t even that hard to do. It’s actually kinda nice, given how much work some of…

Day 1175 of 365 4 lyf. When I was growing up, my mother taught me two important things about Halloween. One, it’s one of the most important holidays of the year. Two, never just go into the store and buy a costume. You have to be original and make your own. This may not look…

Day 1174 of 365 4 lyf. I’ve been almost sorta creative like 4 days in a row now. These days that counts as a record. I’m sure tomorrow I’ll be dogging it. Actually, this isn’t the most creative shot ever. I’ve returned to what I was trying a couple days ago. When you lack an…

Day 1173 of 365 4 lyf. I sort of had the idea today to do a shot in the style of one of my favorite movies. Tombstone. I was thinking what I wanted to do with my life and I thought it might be fun to become a US Marshall and run the Cowboy (McClary/Clampett)…

Day 1172 of 365 4 lyf. I’ve been so tired all day. I hope I’m not getting sick. Steph woke me up to get ready for work and I immediately fell back asleep. A couple times. Drove to work, got there and felt like I was gonna pass out. Felt better by the end of…

Day 1171 of 365 4 lyf. You wouldn’t like me when I’m angry. Ok, I’m not angry. Not at all, actually. I just hadn’t done a black and light highkey image in a while and I love them. I decided I just wanted to have some energy about this one, so I tried to go…

Day 1170 of 365 4 lyf. I do this shot every year. Whenever I get the new Smackdown videogame, the first thing I do, much like any other indy wrestler is make my own character and put myself in the game. I spent the whole day doing this. In fact, I didn’t even actually "play"…

Day 1169 of 365 4 lyf. Steph’s been sick the last week or so but is finally feeling better, which is goog because it meant that she’d sit in for a picture with me. Basically did nothing but work today. But I did find some new photoshop actions to test and play witih. So like…

Day 1168 of 365 4 lyf. Way back when i was unemployed and first getting into this project, one of my favorite things to do was take pictures in different locations. Using neat scenery. As time went on, I kind of fell out of that. No time to go anywhere, no energy to be inventive.…

Day 1167 of 365 4 lyf. The butler did it. Ok, actually it was the court sternographer. But it shouldn’t have been. Tonight, Steph and i went on a murder mystery cruise with her mother. Steph loves murder mysteries, so she was really excited about it. I was pretty sure that I had discovered the…

Day 1166 of 365 4 lyf. I was invisible. I used to be popular. I haven’t been nearly as popular as I used to be in a long time. Part of it is phoning in most of my 365s. Part of it is not having the time to comment on other people’s photos as much.…

Day 1165 of 365 4 lyf. Arthritis. Getting old sucks. Except it’s not even being old. My knuckles have frozen up ever since I can remember. Honestly, people cracking their joints on purpose may be one of the most annoying habits on earth. But that said, it really sucks when you’re just sitting there typing…

Day 1164 of 365 4 lyf. Shopping! Shopping! Shopping! Yay shopping! Went to Barnes and Noble today. That building is way to fucking dangerous. We actually just went in to get a present for Steph’s brohter’s birthday. I left having spent $80 on myself. I swear, I didn’t mean to. I have no idea what…
