Day 115 of 365 days. I’ve said it before many times, and I’ll say it again. I’m just not cut out for this whole working for a living thing. Sometimes at the end of the day I’m just completely worn out. I was so tired in fact that I couldn’t even be bothered to take…
Day 114 of 365 days. Yesterday, I was "called out." In a nice and friendly way, sure. But make no mistake about it, Jack Scoresby and Stephen Poff laid a punk card down right in front of me. Jack and Stephen are fellow photographers, who also both happen to be doing this crazy 365 Days…
Day 113 of 365 days. Two days in a row with two backup pictures. Had a very busy day. Spent the morning painting the attic with Steph and then this evening went to Jill’s birthday dinner. I actually did take some pictures there but mostly other people. Actually took this one at her place while…
Day 112 of 365 days. There were many opportunities for a kick ass picture today. There was a torrential downpour this morning. A massive windstorm this afternoon and I went to a flickr event this evening. And yet none of the photos I took compared to this. And so here’s what we have. What I…
Day 111 of 365 days. So far, I had more or less gone out of my way to not really repeat ideas for the entire year. But I got to thinking last night that really, the vast majority of my self-portraits (and everyone else in the world’s portraits for that matter) amount to "here’s a…
Day 110 of 365 days. Today, I am 30% of the way through this project. In some ways it feels like I just started and in other ways it feels like I’ve always been doing this. Wanted to play with something different today, so I opted to see what I could do with my new…
Day 109 of 365 days. It’s been a while since Steph co-starred in a self portrait with me. I had this idea tonight. We had earlier done a picture of our hands together back on day 60, so why not do one of our feet? A fitting tribute to date night, I think. If I…
Day 108 of 365 days. The superlong weekend is over and its back to business as usual. I have entered what can only be considered the lameduck phase at work. I only have about one month left on my contract and then its back to the unemployment line. The unemployment doesn’t really scare me. If…
Day 107 of 365 days. I’ve been doing a lot of day in the life shots lately. In fact, in the last few days I’ve done two shots of me eating. I actually considered doing a shot of me installing Steph’s new car stereo. I took one shot, didn’t like it, and decided that I…
Day 106 of 365 days. The worst part of the holiday season is the packing on of pounds. It starts with Thanksgiving dinner, moves through Christmas dinner and all the way to the drunken debauchery of New Years. Even on the non-important days like today, I end up doing silly stuff like going out shopping…
Day 105 of 365 days. Believe it or not, this is not a computer generated image. It is in fact a self portrait of me. I was looking for something different to do and then I started thinking about the picture from Stephen Poff that got me started in the 365 days journey in the…
Day 104 of 365 days. Thanksgiving day. Spent it with Steph’s family. I think I may be 20 pounds heavier, but what the hell, thanksgiving only comes once a year. I really want to go to the door buster sales tomorrow, but I can’t convince Steph to go with me. Some people have no Christmas…
Day 103 of 365 days. One of my most favorite things in the whole wide world is my family’s rice pudding. I’ve loved it since I was a toddler. Imagine how surprised I was when I found out that when other people make rice pudding its actually, well, a pudding. My family makes a casserole…
Day 102 of 365 days. Sometimes during this project one of those days comes along where I just really want to show a mundane part of my life. This is about as mundane as it gets. I got a call from a customer service telemarketer type. You know the ones, "Hello Mr. Maverick, we’d like…
Day 101 of 365 days. After yesterday’s masterpiece, it’s back to business as usual. Spent this evening editing a video promo package for a friend who is going to be wrestling in Hawaii. I’ve done it a couple times before. It’s kind of cool to know that I produced video packages that aired on Hawaiian…
