Day 526 of 365 More. And I’m done. It’s about time. Had the show at Creative Treehouse. I had said ahead of time that if I sold one print I would consider it a success. I sold four! So, I guess that’s 400% of my expectations. So woohoo! Of course I spent far more on…

Day 524 of 365 More. I had this really great idea for the 365 Podcast. I wanted to do a tutorial on creating well toned black and white pictures. Easy enough to do, film myself taking today’s self portrait, while narrating, then just use some screen recording software to record myself processing it in photoshop.…

Day 523 of 365 More. I’ve decided to give up photography. I’m also giving up design. From now on I’m going to be a hedonistic billionaire playboy and an avenging vigilante by night. My training has begun, and now I’m in need of a disguise. Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot. So, my disguise…

Day 522 of 365 More. Four days. That’s all that’s left to my show. I’m actually feeling pretty good about it. I got my prints back today, and I even made a Black and Light gallery on Elseworld on the off chance that someone who isn’t going to the show would like to buy a…

Day 520 of 365 More. So I slept in today. Anyone who has been paying attention the last couple weeks probably knows that I seriously needed it. I woke up to hear hammer and dropping things and cursing and came downstairs to discover Steph putting together the new bookshelf that we bought the other day.…

Day 519 of 365 More. Well, I guess I’m done. Was supposed to have two different photoshoots this weekend, both of which I was going to include in the Black and Lights show. Both were cancelled for different reasons. It’s probably fine. I ended up spending over $200 on prints, and I’m pretty happy with…

Day 518 of 365 More. One of my professors back in school used to tell me that the secret to good writing was to kill your darlings. It’s a good lesson, but its one of the hardest things to do. The same seems to be true for art. With yesterdays’s posts, I’m halfway through the…

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 516 of 365 More. I’m catching up. I finally finished editing the Jameel and Stu pics for the Black and Light project. Tomorrow, I’ll hopefully get a few Tarot cards posted, and then I’ve got some more shooting to do this weekend. Still don’t have a tutorial for this weeks podcast and unless I…

Day 515 of 365 More. I’m feeling a little better today. I’m still overworked. I’m still exhausted. But, I’m feeling a bit better about it. I’m almost caught up on the shoots I’ve done so far for the lights show, and should be finishing the rest of them up tomorrow. Then maybe I’ll finish a…

Day 514 of 365 More. I’m burned out. It’s not a bad thing, really. But that’s how it is. Between a bunch of photoshoots, planning my Black and Light photo exhibit for the gallery show I’m doing in a couple weeks, being buried behind a million things at work, Christmas, New Years, putting together the…

Day 513 of 365 More. Well, its the aftermath of the Steelers loss, but life must go on. First of all, the new 365 podcast is up. Please go check it out and let us know what you think. This week we’re offering basic tutorials on lighting and focusing. Also, let me know if you…

Day 512 of 365 More. I never expected much of the Steelers this year. Not really. Young team, with a brand new coach, and I kind of assumed that we’d be lucky to go better than 8-8. Biut the boys surprised me a few times and low and behold we won our division and were…

Day 510 of 365 More. Now here’s the boring part. I got all the fun parts of Elseworld done. I filmed my lights tutorial for the 365 Podcast. So tonight was spent doing the tedious bits. Fixing mistakes. Shooting retakes. Editting video. Ugh. Why can’t I pick simple hobbies. This is the same kinda stuff…
