Day 795 of 365 Again. Well, I did three shots in a row without resorting to the studio. That’s something, right? Not much interesting going on today. Went to work, came home, had dinner with Steph and watched TV while working on the comic and some photos. Blah… still feeling really tired and burned out.…

Day 794 of 365 Again. I’m still so very very tired. I actually fell asleep last night in the middle of posting today’s Cosmic Hellcats comic. How sad is that, I was literally sitting in my chair trying to post the comic, fell asleep and woke up 7 hours later. *sigh* After work, I picked…

Day 793 of 365 Again. I am sooooooo tired… Had a shoot today on the otherside of the world. York County, Pennsylvania, which as far as I can tell is somewhere year Tokyo. Felt like it when I drove there anyway. The only shots I took of myself were lighting tests, so that’s what you…

Day 792 of 365 Again. Oh my god, you killed Kenny! You bastards! Today was not a photography day. That was kind of intentional. Instead I just got to catch up on everything else in my life. Steph’s college roommate got married in a small private ceremony a couple months ago, so today they had…

Day 791 of 365 Again. After yesterday’s shot I was still in the mood to do some stupid special effect camera tricks, so I asked Steph to help me out. This is yet another no photoshop, all in camera shot. I think it turned out pretty well. I’ve been exhausted lately. Shoots, work, comic… I…

Day 790 of 365 Again. Really, I’m still bogged down with everything, but I just didn’t feel like taking another boring shot in front of the black backdrop. So I thought to myself, "Self, how can you take an interesting shot in front of the black backdrop?" I couldn’t come up with anything, and it…

Day 789 of 365 Again. It’s funny. Sometimes I overthink things. Ever since I started writing the Cosmic Hellcats webcomic, I had a very definite idea of where the story was going. In fact the joke in the Oct 9th edition is one that i thought up at the very beginning, like five months ago…

Day 787 of 365 Again. I have a lot of thinking to do. The studio that I was working with a few times in the last year or so on gallery shows is going away. Several people from the studio are thinking of opening a new one. I have an opportunity to be a part…

Day 786 of 365 Again. You know, writing a comic strip is hard. Sometimes I have good ideas for Cosmic Hellcats and sometimes not. Tonight was one of the nots. I knew what had to happen in tonights episode. Max did a great hob of drawing it. And I thought the sight gag was mildly…

Day 785 of 365 Again. I really wish I had more time to do more outdoor shots like this. It’s just nice to be outside of the studio. I was hoping to go to West Virginia this weekend and do another photoshoot. That didn’t work out. Hopefully I’ll get it in next week sometime, but…

Day 784 of 365 Again. And the end of a long week. I’ve been working long hours between my job, the comic and photoshoots I’ve barely slept in the last two weeks. And Steph’s week has been even worse. She’s been working two jobs, and even though we live together we almost never see each…

Day 782 of 365 Again. Sigh… one of those days. Overslept and was late for work. Was supposed to have a photoshoot after work. That didn’t happen. I’m burnt out, tired, depressed and just generally need a break. I need a vacation, or at the very least a long weekend packed full of drunken sex…

Day 781 of 365 Again. So I’m supposed to have a shoot tomorrow after work (fingers crossed). If it comes together, it will be my first opportunity to use my new flash guns in the field. I figured it might be a good idea to play with them the night before and hence this shot.…

Day 780 of 365 Again. Every Sunday during football season I get up and cook breakfast for my friends, usually waffles, and then we sit and watch the game. The powers that be of the NFL have decided to fuck that up this year, instead of the normal 1pm games, the Steelers have a ton…
