Day 279 of 365 days. So I never heard from my model for this morning, so I guess that pretty much means that shoot is cancelled. Spent the morning editing some photos, and then got a phone call from Shannon asking me if I wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese for her son, Parker’s…
Day 278 of 365 days. Two days in a row and not a studio shot. It’s been a while since I did that. Finished and posted another tarot card, today. The Queen of Staffs. Then I had a another photoshoot for the tarot deck. I have one tomorrow evening and possibly one in the morning,…
Day 277 of 365 days. You know what’s great about being a bum (errr, starving artist)? Sometimes you can just chuck all your responsibilities for the day and spend the entire afternoon sitting on a barstool, drinking beer and talking shit with a friend. Granted, my "responsibilities" for the day were limited to working on…
Day 275 of 365 days. How in the name of all that is good and holy did people mow lawns before they invented hot tubs? I stayed up late last night working on my most recent tarot card.. I didn’t really intend to work on it all night, but once I got on a roll,…
Day 274 of 365 days. How about street walker for my new career? It seemed to work out tonight. So this morning I shot my friend Jameel for the Tarot deck. He’ll be the Tower card for the major arcana. But I still needed a nice tower background for it. Unfortunately I didn’t really have…
Day 273 of 365 days. Look, I’m wearing color. I bet you didn’t know I did that, huh? Long tiring days lead to long tiring lives. Met with a model about possibly working on the Tarot project. At least that was fun. From there I drove home and dealt with annoying job applications (seriously, I…
Day 271 of 365 days. Made a little bit of progress on the job front today, as I took calls from 3 different recruiters, including the one i talked to yesterday who thinks that the job she’s recruiting for is a virtual sure thing for me. Of course I’ve heard that before. Interview is tomorrow.…
Day 270 of 365 days. Spent the day working on photos for the most part. I should have two more tarot cards up either tonight or tomorrow, depending on how much work I feel like doing tonight. I did get a call about a job interview on Thursday. Before everyone starts telling me that "see,…
Day 269 of 365 days. The worse my "professional" life gets, the better my photography life gets. I could totally get used to this if I could just turn a profit. I’ve got 5 photoshoots scheduled in the next 2 weeks for the Tarot project, plus I’ve talked to 5 other models today or yesterday…
Day 268 of 365 days. Argggh…. I just noticed I’ve been numbering all of my days incorrectly since Day 247. So my “only 100 days left” post was wrong. I have even fewer than I thought. *sigh* now I have to go through and retag everything. Steph was nice enough to accompany me to Middleofnowhere,…
Day 267 of 365 days. You know what I haven’t done for 365 in a long time? I haven’t featured Steph in a pic. I kind of pulled back from using her when she started trying the project herself. But she got lazy and pulled out eventually and I never started using her much again.…
Day 266 of 365 days. So all this week I’ve been telling a continuing story of what my life has been like on the road as a drifter. I was intending to finish that story today. Unfortunately I didn’t have a really good idea. I was wishing I knew someone with a barn. I wanted…
Day 265 of 365 days. The fourth day in my life on the open road. The thing about a life of adventure is that sometimes in order to really appreciate the craziness you have to take a moment to really enjoy the downtimes. Sometimes I forget that. Sometimes I get so wrapped up in what’s…
Day 264 of 365 days. There’s a lot that goes into this whole being a drifter thing. It’s not just banging farmers daughters and saving the world from alien invasions. You also need to make some money. Sure, you can get decent room and board by shoveling horse manure or stacking hay, but that just…
Day 263 of 365 days. When last we left our intrepid hero he was walking along the train tracks in search of adventure. Ok, so the damndest thing happened since yesterday. There I was riding the rails, walking against the wind, traveling from town to town, deflowering farmer’s daughters, being run out by sheriffs, that…
