Day 295 of 365 days. Another day, another photoshoot. But what made this one interesting was that it wasn’t one of my own. Renaissance Woman (top middle) who you will remember from my 5-23-07 shot liked the look of one of my models, Shiima (bottom right) and wanted to use him for a shoot, so…
Day 294 of 365 days. Had a job interview today. In many ways it actually gave me renewed faith in the UI design industry. It was for a full-time position (as opposed to a contract, as I normally work) and it seemed like the company was actually interested in doing what i call "good work"…
Day 293 of 365 days. Usually I’m not big on huge "everyone do this minichallenge this day" events. Mostly because I know there are people who pay attention to the Maverick 365 project that don’t pay attention to anyone else’s. And also because I have delusions of actually making a book and the mini challenges…
Day 292 of 365 days. Four, count them, four days in a row without a studio shot. If that’s not some kind of record for me, I don’t know what is. It came to my attention that, what with being wrapped up on the Tarot deck and all, I was basically shooting all chiaroscuro images…
Day 291 of 365 days. Splash! So to all appearances my life is maybe not so bad. I’ve said before, I get to spend most of my days doing photography, which is a hell of a lot better than whatever most people do for a living. On top of that, most of my photography consists…
Day 290 of 365 days. Today was tarot card processing day. That’s pretty much what I did all day. I now have 20 cards done in the Maverick Tarot set. I wanted to see what the cards will ultimately look like so I printed them out on my inkjet. Now I need to buy more…
Day 289 of 365 days. Look, its a rare look into Mav’s daily life, shot. I remember when i used to do these all the time. No it’s once a week at best. Went to a "Day Before Memorial Day BBQ." Had a good time sitting on the porch and talking about a multitude of…
Day 288 of 365 days. And I sank into a depression so deep I crawled into a bottle of vodka and didn’t come out for 6 years. Ok, not really. Actually, I feel pretty ok today, but I thought of this shot when I was depressed and drinking vodka a week or so ago. Just…
Day 287 of 365 days. Are we noticing a pattern yet for days where I do a photoshoot and don’t have a good idea? I actually had a pretty productive day. Got some photos editted. Finished chemical balancing my pool. And then did a photoshoot with Amaya, a model I met on MM and a…
Day 286 of 365 days. I haven’t felt the slightest bit creative all day. This was the first day in 286 that I really just couldn’t care less about photography or 365 or anything. I was just completely burnt out. I’ve been working pretty hard on the Tarot Project lately. I’ve finished several new cards.…
Day 285 of 365 days. Ever since I’ve been using Model Mayhem I’ve had the chance to interact with more models and photographers that I never would have had the chance to meet on Flickr. Two of them, Merci Rae (Left) and Renaissance Woman (Right) invited me down to see their studio. I am insanely…
Day 283 of 365 days. Had another photoshoot today, and I still haven’t finished editing yesterday’s shots. I did put up the Page of Cups card that I put together to both some positive and negative feedback, so I’d appreciate as much other feedback on that (and for that matter, the previous days, Queen of…
Day 282 of 365 days. So there I am, minding my own business, working on a shoot for the tarot project when all of a sudden, my studio was invaded by KGB shock troops who didn’t know the Cold War ended twenty years ago. There was much torture and pressure involved, utilizing a can of…
Day 281 of 365 days. Basically took it easy today. Spent the morning editing pics from Thursday’s photoshoot (there should be some posted soon) and then took a nice long hot tub soak. That did wonders for my back. I’m still hurting a bit, but it really is much better. I’ll say it again, if…
Day 280 of 365 days. Ow. Ow ow ow. Oh my god, ow. I had a wrestling show today. In good old Wheeling West Virginia in front of an excited 28 fans. Woohoo! It wasn’t the smallest crowd I’ve ever wrestled in front of, but it was pretty down there. I was the third match,…
