Day 262 of 365 days. So I got the letter I had been dreading today. I’ve spent the last couple months interviewing over and over again with one company. Actually, I’ve interviewed with several companies for the last couple months, but I kept getting called back to one. They told me in no uncertain terms…
Day 261 of 365 days. Oh my aching feets. I need to get new tennis shoes. Mine are several years old and they just don’t provide the support I need anymore. Played doubles tennis today with Steph against Max and Geoff. It was the first time that we’d played all year, but its nice to…
Day 260 of 365 days. From sinful gothic glamour to cute family photos. Oh what a difference a day makes. My former roommates, Sam and Karen wanted me to take a family portrait for them today, so they came over to sit in the studio with their two kids. Sadly I couldn’t get Ted to…
Day 259 of 365 days. Did a photoshoot with Shiima and Mallory today. I got a lot of good shots, including two new tarot cards. Would love to hear people’s thoughts on them just before this in my stream (and some after this probably but maybe not til tomorrow). Shiima is a wrestling friend of…
Day 258 of 365 days. So I had a photoshoot scheduled for today, but the model called me a couple hours before and let me know that she was having car problems and wouldn’t be able to come. We had to reschedule for next week. That pretty much left the rest of my day open.…
Day 256 of 365 days. The Mav/Jack Crossover (Chris Maverick Variant) Today is new comic day. A day when geeks all over the country flock to comic specialty shops to pick up their favorite funny books. Little known to all non comic book readers, due to a particular leak in the subspace nexus to the…
Day 257 of 365 days. The Mav/Jack Crossover (Gatefold Cover Variant) Today is new comic day. A day when geeks all over the country flock to comic specialty shops to pick up their favorite funny books. Little known to all non comic book readers, due to a particular leak in the subspace nexus to the…
Day 256 of 365 days. Part of me wonders if I am starting to lose my mind without having a day job. I was at every end of the multidimensional extreme today. I had about an hour of misery and uselessness as I fell into despair thinking I’m never going to find anything to pay…
Day 255 of 365 days. Most people hate the winter, I’m now missing it. Today was the first day this spring that I had to mow the lawn. The last couple years, I haven’t had to mow my own lawn because I used to pay the guy who lived across the street (a professional gardner/landscaper)…
Day 254 of 365 days. Spent the day with Cheryl. Back before I was a bum (errr… starving artist), I used to be a pretty decent user interface (UI) designer. Cheryl was my intern. Over the years she’s become a really good friend. These days, Cheryl lives in Seattle where she designs video games for…
Day 253 of 365 days. So in the middle of the day, Steph walks up to me and says that since its a nice day we should go out and see the buffalos. I counter with the obvious. Yes, it is a nice day, but we live in Pittsburgh, there are no buffalos. She assured…
Day 251 of 365 days. Finally got my pinball shot in the set. I’m a huge pinball fan, although I don’t get to play as often these days as I did when I was younger. I don’t think I would have survived college without pinball. Anyway, I really wanted to get a shot of me…
cwd143 – Square Foot. The entire content of your photo must be 12×12 inches (~30x30cm). What? I’m talking about the entire frame. So, first…your photo must be cropped square (non-square images will be removed from the pool). Second, if you enlarged the photo to 12×12, it would be a life-sized photo. Am I making any sense yet? Perhaps an exmaple. Let’s say your subject was an 8.5×11 inch sheet of paper (boring…don’t you dare do it) – that’s less than 12×12, so there would be some space around the piece of paper. Now let’s say your subject was a person. People are bigger than 12×12, so you might have a head and a shoulder. Or maybe a couple feet and ankles. Get it? Bottom line: if you blew it up to 12×12, it would be life-sized. Obviously, I don’t expect perfect precision on the whole 12×12 thing…but if it’s obviously 20×20 or 5×5, I’ll boot it from the pool. Get as close as you can to 12×12. The goal of this assignment is to alter the way you look at things. Footnote: Please, no photos of rulers.
a 365 reject of my Day 249 shot.
Day 250 of 365 days. I really only had one goal today. I wanted to go to an arcade and get a shot of me playing pinball. I love pinball. I used to have a Twilight Zone machine in my living room. Years ago, my car broke down and I had to sell it, because…
Day 249 of 365 days. Made a few more minor changes to www.chrismaverick.com today. It really is the best website in the whole wide world, everyone should bookmark it and link to it from their websites and in general just make me world famous. I still don’t get why the media isn’t all over me…
