Day 10: 1-10-12

Day 10 of the New Era

Ok, that’s it… GREs done. Didn’t do as well as I hoped, but I’m trying to tell myself that that’s to be expected since I didn’t study for them and I’ve been out of school for 14 years. But I’m trying to stay optimistic.

Grad school app submitted. Not happy with that either. My grades we’re the best back when I was younger, but there’s not exactly anything I can do about that now. In any case, it’s finished. Out of my hands. Time for some beer!

Day 1173 of 365 4 lyf. I sort of had the idea today to do a shot in the style of one of my favorite movies. Tombstone. I was thinking what I wanted to do with my life and I thought it might be fun to become a US Marshall and run the Cowboy (McClary/Clampett)…

I had been wanting to shoot with Miss Anthropy for a while and she was interested in doing something with Damsel, who’s modeled for me before. They pulled in another girl they knew, Amanda, and we ended up doing a post apocalyptic thing in a junkyard.

Naturally we had no such permission to do so, so once we set off the alarm, the owner showed up. He liked the idea so he helped us set up a few cool shots, much more so than we could have done on our own.

I love it when a shoot works out.

One photoshoot for the week down, only three to go. Unfortunately, this was the simplest one. A tarot card that I knew exactly what I wanted for, and although I’d never worked with Cindy before she was a total pro.

I can’t believe I have less than 20 tarot cards left. Well sort of anyway. There’s a few that I’ve since decided I’m not happy with and may want to redo. An artist is never satisfied.

Well, maybe he is. Because I like this one quite a lot.

Day 838 of 365 Again. I’m going out 2 nights in a row. It’s like I’m in my 20s again or something. Actually it feels nice. I hate having to feel like a grown-up all the time. Last night there was the bar, for open mic night, and tonight Steph and I went out to…

Day 778 of 365 Again. So so so so soooooo tired…. Drove to West Virginia to do some shooting with Amaya. In practice this meant me drove around for a long time looking for just the right location before eventually deciding on somewhere we’ve been before. Anyway, while we were wandering around, we drove by…

It’s been a while since I posted a tarot card, and I was three behind, so I figured that I’d put one together tonight.

This is Kevin. He’s actually a makeup artist, not a model, and in fact is the MUA I hired all the way back when I did the photoshoot for Cosmic Hellcats so if you follow my stream you know how long ago that was.

I might get another up tomorrow, but for now, here’s the King of Coins.

Hadn’t done a tarot card in a while. Had a lot of them building up. Including this one from my first shoot with Chaste a while back.

I really love the sepia look of the coin cards and can’t wait to do more. I also like the lingerie for this one. It gives a great old fashioned look to it. I actually bought that vanity and the screen just for this shoot. I’m glad I did. It’s made a wonderful addition to the studio.

Day 552 of 365 More. After yesterday’s journey into crime and the ensuing confrontation, Steph and I made up. Well, actually she just couldn’t resist my raw animal magnetism. Score one for the bad guys. Anyway, we went out for Valentines day after work and ate WAY too much sushi. After that we went home…

It’s been a while since I posted a new tarot card. I just hadn’t been doing them. Partly I needed a break, and partly I just hadn’t been doing shoots in general or those in specific. But I did get one done with Marlo during her shoot.

This is actually one of the earliest ideas I had. When I realized I wanted to use dead and hurt people for the five cards, I decided that I had to do the old tradition of placing coins over the eyes for the coin card. And then when I found out Marlo had a wedding dress, the whole thing just came together.

Somehow, I like the juxtaposition of a wedding and a funeral at the same time. Somehow to me, nothing says worry like a bride who has died in her wedding dress, still holding the bouquet.

Day 450 of 365 More. You know its a great party when you have trouble getting out of bed the next morning. Last night was a great party. Of course, i didn’t wake up in bed with four hot babes, two midgets and a donkey, but hey, it was just halloween, not jammy jam, so…
