Day 13 of 365 days. Yet another heavy photoshop day. I think I may be done with that for tomorrow, but who knows. Anyway, again an idea I had on the way home from work. Where all the most creative thinking is done. I’m posting it after midnight but that because I had to put…
Day 12 of 365 days. My tribute to Nick Nolte, James Brown and all the other celebrities who have graced the pages of the Smoking Gun. Why is it that celebrities never look good in mug shots? Did they all just come from losing their weekly poker game like I did? (eliminated first this week……
Day 11 of 365 days. Memoirs of an Invisible Mav. One of the nice things about this project is that it has made me start thinking of different ideas that I wouldn’t normally come up with. I actually had a couple random ideas that weren’t so photoshoppy today, but then this one started baking in…
Day 10 of 365 days. And back to silly artistic wankery. I actually had this idea a couple days ago, but it wasn’t til tonight that I really felt like going into my basement and playing a solo game of pool. There were a couple shots that I really liked and I couldn’t make up…
Day 9 of 365 days. Did some shopping, had a BBQ, went to Hooters to watch a WWE wrestling PPV with some wrestler friends. When it all comes down to it, the simple truth is that I’m not going to be able to finish this project if I expect to go out of my way…
Day 8 of 365 days. I can’t believe I’m in the second week and still going strong. I have a wrestling show today and I’ve been wanting to find some way to take a picture of myself while I’m in the ring, but I haven’t figured out a good way to do it. Sure, I…
Day 7 of 365 days. And so ends the first week. This is the first picture taken with a camera phone instead of my proper camera, it might not be the last But really, I just used it because it was available. Anyway, I had to go to the Department of Motor Vehicles to get…
Day 6 of 365 days. I really liked this idea but it never took off the way i wanted it to. I started working on it too late and I worked on it up to 11:59 and then stopped because I like to keep it real, dammit. In any case, the effect is neat and…
Day 5 of 365 days. I actually came up with the idea of shooting my weekly poker game about two days ago. I’m glad the shot came out ok because I never got around to shooting any back-up pictures today. It’s certainly not the most creative of the series so far but I think it…
day 4 of my 365 days project. The neat thing about this whole process is the evolution of ideas. On day one, as soon as I decided to do the project I knew exactly the shot I wanted to start with. I had the ideas for day 2 and 3 both during day 1, so…
the 3rd picture in my 365 day series. Had this idea early yesterday and almost couldn’t wait to shave in the morning. This is the first shot that wasn’t highly photoshopped (just a little bit of color correction). I’m beginning to wonder how I am going to keep these interesting for a whole year. I’m…
Day 2 of my experimenting with 365 days. I have now created a Flickr pool where many other people are trying the project as well. If you’re interested, please see 365 days. I was sitting around thinking "what am i gonna do today?" and I had this idea based on drawings of the superhero Captain…
so while browsing flickr, I ran across this photo by stephenpoff. I liked it and then started looking at his photostream and then realized that since the 1st of this year he has taken a self-portrait every day and hopes to do the same every day for a year. I immediately decided that I had to do the same.
This is the first one. Taken on the balcony of my hotel room in Warren, PA where Steph and I are vacationing.
