Day 40 of 365 days. I can’t believe I’ve been at this for 40 days. I’ve been doing simple snapshots for the last few days, and I decided I wanted to try something a little more ambitious today. This is actually an idea I had for a couple weeks now, but I hadn’t gotten around…

Day 38 of 365 days. I had been wanting to take a shot featuring all of my tattoos at some point and when Pi c’s suggested a birthmark challenge it seemed like as good a time as any. These are the various symbols that adorn my body, the dates I got them, and what they…

Day 39 of 365 days. And when it rains it pours. Just when I was getting ready to work on the day 38 picture, my computer crashed. I had to reboot it for a software update and when it came back up, it… well, didn’t come back up. I’m guessing its a logicboard problem, because…

Day 37 of 365 days. And I am now 10% complete. How terribly exciting. Went shopping today. Didn’t buy anything but I spent a lot of time looking at digital SLR cameras. I am feeling very good about the Canon EOS 400D Digital Rebel XTi, and that could very well be the camera that I…

Day 36 of 365 days. I’d been wondering how I was going to do this since I started this project. I knew I wanted to get at least one picture of me wrestling in the set, but how can I take a picture of myself while wrestling without 1) breaking the camera and 2) looking…

Day 35 of 365 days. After a busy week of bringing the sexy back, its not back to business as usual. And it was a thouroughly busy day. A ton of crap to do at work, and then off to wrestling practice. In general just not much time to even think about being creative. On…

Day 34 of 365 days. The seventh and final day of Bringing Back the Sexy. Sometimes its really nice to feel like I have my 365 pic done early and I just don’t have to worry about it the entire next day. I guess I’ll be kinda disappointed if I happen upon doing something really…

Day 33 of 365 days. And for the sixth day of me Bringing Back the Sexy. Ok, here’s how addicted I am to this project. This is how my day went this morning: Thought of an idea late last night (2am). Didn’t feel like setting it up before I went to bed. Steph wakes me…

Day 32 of 365 days. And for the fifth day of me Bringing Back the Sexy, I decided to go in a little bit of a different direction. I wanted to make sure there was at least one more natural candid kind of shot, even if it isn’t quite as SEXY™ as some of the…

Day 30 of 365 days. And the third day of my attempt to Bring Sexy Back. First of all, I am absolutely totally astounded that I made it this far, and remarkably I don’t even want to quit. Even though there are days like today when I just don’t really feel like putting energy into…

Day 29 of 365 days. And the second day of my attempt to Bring Sexy Back. Sexy may be harder to return than I hoped. Spent over an hour this morning (much to Steph’s dismay) trying to get this shot. Wanted to use natural light, but as I was out at a party late last…

Day 28 of 365 days. So I had been complaining a bit over the last couple of days about being out of ideas for non-gimmicky photos. I made some joking remark about regretting that I wasn’t a cute chick so that I could just toss up a couple glamour shots or artful nudes (the kinds…

Day 27 of 365 days. So this was something I have been wanting to try since I did the Sun Sword picture a few days ago. Kind of a Human Torch inspired thing. The final result here wasn’t actually what I was originally envisioning, but I kind of like the effect. More or less anyway.…
