Day 531 of 365 More. The day started off long and bad. Really, its not tons better. But I don’t want to get into details. Suffice it to say, I’m trying to put the badness behind me. I am once again attempting to put together a tutorial for the podcast on black and whites. I…
Day 530 of 365 More. I have these days when I get really down on myself. Where I start thinking about this whole "being an aritst" thing and start wanting to reexamine my life. Don’t get me wrong. It’s not that I want to quit. Really I have no interest in that. And I’m not…
Day 529 of 365 More. I love when I come home and there is a package from Amazon. It’s like Christmas. Today I came home to discover that the mailman had brought my Batman and Spiderman training manuals. Just what I need to continue my journey to becoming a superhero. Lessons on crafting your costume,…
Day 528 of 365 More. Almost 40 years ago, on April 4th, 1968, American civil rights activist, Martin Luther King Jr. was gunned down on the balcony of his Memphis Hotel room. King, having dedicated his life to creating racial equality in this country is remember as the father of civil rights. Many hoped that…
Day 527 of 365 More. Amaya was in town this weekend and we hadn’t shot together in a while. In order to do something different I invited Sarah to shoot as well. We got some good shots done and I got a chance to copy the Tom Ford Vanity Fair cover, something I had been…
Day 526 of 365 More. And I’m done. It’s about time. Had the show at Creative Treehouse. I had said ahead of time that if I sold one print I would consider it a success. I sold four! So, I guess that’s 400% of my expectations. So woohoo! Of course I spent far more on…
Day 525 of 365 More. And I’m done. Well, I’m not done, the show isn’t til tomorrow, but I’m finally finished preparing for it. With as much as work as I put into this in the last month, I honestly no longer remember a time when I WASN’T working on this show. But now, less…
Day 524 of 365 More. I had this really great idea for the 365 Podcast. I wanted to do a tutorial on creating well toned black and white pictures. Easy enough to do, film myself taking today’s self portrait, while narrating, then just use some screen recording software to record myself processing it in photoshop.…
Day 523 of 365 More. I’ve decided to give up photography. I’m also giving up design. From now on I’m going to be a hedonistic billionaire playboy and an avenging vigilante by night. My training has begun, and now I’m in need of a disguise. Criminals are a superstitious and cowardly lot. So, my disguise…
Day 522 of 365 More. Four days. That’s all that’s left to my show. I’m actually feeling pretty good about it. I got my prints back today, and I even made a Black and Light gallery on Elseworld on the off chance that someone who isn’t going to the show would like to buy a…
Day 521 of 365 More. Well, I definitely feel a lot better now. I got a full night of sleep. I woke up and even shaved for once (been skipping it the last week or so, which is another reason I’ve looked so rough). Of course I still had to do a full day of…
Day 520 of 365 More. So I slept in today. Anyone who has been paying attention the last couple weeks probably knows that I seriously needed it. I woke up to hear hammer and dropping things and cursing and came downstairs to discover Steph putting together the new bookshelf that we bought the other day.…
Day 519 of 365 More. Well, I guess I’m done. Was supposed to have two different photoshoots this weekend, both of which I was going to include in the Black and Lights show. Both were cancelled for different reasons. It’s probably fine. I ended up spending over $200 on prints, and I’m pretty happy with…
Day 518 of 365 More. One of my professors back in school used to tell me that the secret to good writing was to kill your darlings. It’s a good lesson, but its one of the hardest things to do. The same seems to be true for art. With yesterdays’s posts, I’m halfway through the…
Day 516 of 365 More. I’m catching up. I finally finished editing the Jameel and Stu pics for the Black and Light project. Tomorrow, I’ll hopefully get a few Tarot cards posted, and then I’ve got some more shooting to do this weekend. Still don’t have a tutorial for this weeks podcast and unless I…
