Day 565 of 365 More. I live in Pittsburgh. And like all Pittsburghers, I hate television football announcers. Actually, I disliked them before I even moved here. But once I moved here, and found that its standard fare for Pittsburghers to turn down the TV volume and watch the game with the radio on, well……

Day 564 of 365 More. There just aren’t enough hours in the day. Not even close. I did get a lot done at work today, but when i came home I spent the entire evening editing photos and researching my next photo project (which I actually have a really great idea for, and hopefully one…

Day 563 of 365 More. I still hate strobes. I really do. I mean, I guess it works well enough, but I can really tell. This pic just looks a little colder and harder than what I like. Anyway, I got the remote triggers in for my flash today. It seems to misfire on occasion…

Day 562 of 365 More. I have a genius level IQ. I double majored at one of the most prestigious colleges in this country. I created a worldwide self portrait community that has touched the lives of thousands. I’ve designed websites and software for billion dollar corporations. I’m a published author. A professional wrestler. a…

Day 561 of 365 More. I’ve wanted to learn to brew my own beer for a long time. I don’t know why. I’m perfectly capable of picking up a case at the distributor. But something about the process just always seemed cool. My mother bought me a kit for Christmas, but I never got around…

Day 560 of 365 More. We hadn’t played Rockband in a while, so Steph and I decided to invite our neighbors over to play. We got a lot farther in the game than we had previously, including finally opening up Blue Oyster Cult’s Don’t Fear the Reaper. Any game is automatically made better with the…

Day 559 of 365 More. I hate flash photograohy. I think I’ve mentioned that before. I know I’ve said it on the podcast. 9,999,999 out of 10,000,000, I’d rather use my good old fashioned hot lights. The problem is , it’s really hard to take my entire studio with me wherever I go, so I…

Day 558 of 365 More. I wated to take some pictures of the eclipse, but it was damn cold outside. So my picture is me, as though I was being eclipse. I know that’s not too much different than a lot of what I do normally. But oh well. If it helps. This one is…

Day 557 of 365 More. You know what every kid is gonna want this Christmas? The new Maverick action figure. What cool be cooler than that? You wanna know what? It now comes with Kung-Fu grip. That’s right. Say you have the old Maverick action figure. You figure you don’t need the new one, right?…

Day 556 of 365 More. It’s cold. Bitterly cold. I’ve kind had enough of it. There were rumors that it was going to be warmer this week. It now appears that was a filthy lie. Got up early today to get to work and run a client meeting. It’s funny. I’m not a morning person.…

Day 555 of 365 More. And I’m caught back up. I’ve been taking my photos still, but I’ve been so busy I’ve been forced to post them late the last few days. Even now it’s after midnight as I write this. Had a photoshoot this morning, followed by a birthday party for Steph’s neice. Once…

Day 553 of 365 More. Everytime I do some heavy special effect superhero-esque shots like I did a couple times this week, I get a few people asking how I did stuff. Since I needed a podcast tutorial for this week I decided to maybe share some of the secrets. So make sure you check…

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…

Day 551 of 365 More. It was one of those days. Woke up this morning to see the ground completely covered with snow. Decided that it was probably a good idea to leave for work early, just in case. I didn’t get very far. Apparently in the wee hours of the morning, they tried to…

Day 550 of 365 More. So we moved into a new office building at work the other day. It’s quite nice, actually. Except for the part where they’re kinda still building it around us. Yesterday, there was apparently some problem and the plumbing went out. Annoying, as there was suddenly no bathroom, but not a…
