Day 173 of 365 days. Today I did a photoshoot with a lovely girl named Liz. It was her first time modeling for me and she did a phenomenal job. We took over 500 shots together. But tragedy struck. In my infinite clumsiness I knocked over my spot light and shorted out the bulb. Luckily…
Day 172 of 365 days. Kind of a boring day. I ran some errands and then did work around the house. Did some cleaning. Shoveled the snow. Did some painting in the attic. Then had dinner with Steph. I actually took this as my backup shot for today and then mere moments later I had…
Day 171 of 365 days. Today, I went to my pregnant friend Gina’s house to help her make a plaster cast of her torso so that she can remember what she looked like while pregnant forever and ever. I guess its something pregnant women do these days. Even though I took pictures of the process…
Day 170 of 365 days. We’ve had an extremely gentle winter in Pittsburgh so far, but I guess that can’t last forever. The snow has been picking up the last several days, but I hadn’t gotten around to going out there and take a picture til today. Steph looked out the window and saw that…
Day 169 of 365 days. We interrupt this project to bring you this all points bulletin. Authorities in your area are asking you to please be on the look out for a 5 foot 8, suspicious looking, light skinned black male wearing a cowboy hat and sneakers. Christopher T. Maverick is wanted for crimes against…
Day 168 of 365 days. Some days I just don’t feel like getting out of bed. Today was one of them. One of the nice things about this whole unemployment experience is that it gives me a break from my career. For the record I hate computers. I hate the computer industry. I hate working…
Day 167 of 365 days. I don’t really like making new years resolutions. I think the entire concept is silly. If I want to better myself, I just pick when I want to start and I do it. That said, I made a decision at the beginning of this month to seriously start getting back…
Day 166 of 365 days. A really long day with not a lot of time to do a lot of anything. I didn’t even get to work out. I’m going to have to make that up tomorrow. Anyway, after a long day where I didn’t even remember to eat dinner (going to go fix that…
Day 165 of 365 days. For Christmas, I got Steph an easel and a bunch of art products because she wanted to be more creative. She’s even been doing her own 365 Day project as of a couple days ago (using the camera I bought her for our anniversary). But one of the things she…
Day 164 of 365 days. Sometimes I like my backup ideas better than the initial plans. A couple days ago, a company that sales water purifiers called me and asked if I’d allow them to come to our house and test our water and give us a sales pitch. In return, they’d give us a…
Day 163 of 365 days. Ok, this will probably be the geekiest thing I ever do in this 365 day project. I spent a lot of time playing video games yesterday, and I started thinking "I haven’t done a big massive photoshoppy picture in a while. I’ll have to do one soon." Then I went…
Day 162 of 365 days. Kind of a lazy day today. My headache never entirely faded so I mostly laid on the couch and played video games all day, taking an exciting break to play trivial pursuit with Steph and have dinner. We were actually planning on going out to a friends place, but then…
Day 161 of 365 days. Wow. I never noticed how much darker my face was than my hands before. I wonder if that’s normal. I had a wrestling show tonight. Unlike my last show, which was 4 hours away, this one is only 30 minutes away. The problem was that I just didn’t feel like…
Day 160 of 365 days. Last week I joined a flickr community created by fellow 365er, daverexwood. Dave is taking a photography class and has challenged others to do his weekly assignments with him. I thought it’d be a fine set of exercises to work on improving my photography. There were four assignments for the…
Day 159 of 365 days. My unemployment day has worked into a pretty good routine. I get up late, play around with flickr and my photography (today, editting my friend Nicki’s photoshoot), then I talk to people online, eat lunch and get in my daily workout. My flickr friend, the lovely and talented Jessi has…
