203/365

Well here is day 203. I had an idea of just painting the twitter bird on a white background, but once I took the photo and brought it up on my computer, I drew the bird, then I drew the clouds. I thought oh, thats looking decent. then I drew the flowers. Then I drew the hill and the sun. I thought to myself, what a wonderful world.... lol.... no, I thought, there needs to be color. So I colored it all in. I couldnt stop just at the bird... and this is what I got! LOL

Do you twitter? Follow me! Let me know that you saw this photo and I will follow you!

Welcome to my world...

189-200/365

Well today we reached another milestone in the 365 day project. Its day 200 today. So I thought since its been about 12 days since I last caught up on my posting. I would do it today! I am such a slacker... so here we go from day 189!

Day 189

The power went out this day for quite sometime. So I had to improvise in my studio. So using a flashlight, I did this:



Day 190

With my lil boy:



Day 191

I got in a fight with myself... It was not a fun experience



Day 192

Played some bball with my dad and bro on this day. The pic could be much better I will admit. But it was getting dark and I wanted to incorporate some motion into the photo



Day 193

Been so tired lately, It would be awesome if I could have two days of strait sleep!



Day 194

Yummy gummy in my tummy!



Day 195

Dirty mouth? Clean it up!



Day 196

I have felt so like this lately. Nothing seems to be flowing to me. I just get down on myself sometimes and wish I was more creative...



Day 197

My dog knows how to play Light as a feather, Stiff as a board!



Day 198

Droid X!!! Got one for my wife and I



Day 199

Well as the photo describes.... Brainfart! Seem to be getting a few of these lately



Day 200

Wow, can you believe its already day 200 this year?!? Crazy isnt it? Well I have been a bit down on myself lately. I am a very tough critic towards my own work. Not only with my 365 project but also client work. Also wishing I could move things along somehow with getting more clients and such. I am really ready to be done with my day job. But until photography can cut that bill then I will be doing both! I saw this idea from another amazing photographer Steve Hansen and the idea seemed to click, because I have strugled lately with my own work and how critical I am wondering if it is really good or not. So I decided to give his idea a spin and try and make it towards how I have felt lately.




Thanks for stopping in. I really wish I could get back on track with posting everyday! Hope you enjoy looking at my photos as much as I enjoy shooting them!

188/365 Story time!

Well once again today I was not sure what to do. So I went out with my studio and stared around for a while trying to be creative today since I don't think the last few days were very creative but more showing what life was like day to day. But as I was staring around my eyes came in contact with the rocking chair in the photo and immediately this photo came to my head, and I went for it. It turned out very nice and was very fun to do! Click here to see larger and on black!

day 184-187

Well here are the last few days of my life in photos

Day 184

This is a late fathers day gift. My wife had this idea and went with it. I think its awesome!



Day 185

This was a yummy yet fun cake my wife made for the fourth of July weekend. The way its made you cant see that it looks like a flag. Then when you cut into it, it looks like this:



Day 186

Just thought I would poke fun at myself, LOL



Day 187

Well, I kind of had a brain fart this day and wasnt sure what to do. I had an idea in my head of what to do with the photo while editing and that didnt work out, so I ended up with this. Oh well. Some days you just cant win

day 172- day 183/365

Ok, so here we go again. There are tons of photos to go through so take a minute and look at each one! Let me know which one is your favorite in this post!

Day 172

I think the photo says it all! Not much more needing to be said is there? Well....Love



Day 173

I was having a brain fart on this day, and not really knowing what I was going to do. As I went in to the studio to shoot this, I had the back light on which cast a shadow onto my backdrop. I decided it was better then any other idea I was not having.



Day 174

Seems this has become my life. Not that its bad, but I sure have been doing a lot of editing lately. I really enjoy it though.



Day 175

Met up this day with a bunch of photographers. I showed a few people some lighting techniques and also help a few photographers understand outside lighting with studio lights. This was taken shortly before the close of the eveing



Day 176

I think there is greatness in all of us, dont you? The wind was blowing my cape (well some fans really).



Day 177

I planted this bean outside that grew and grew until the stock went in the clouds. I should have never climbed up the bean stock



Day 178

Well, us triplets got together again for a competitive game of Jenga. As you can see there was a few bucks on the game, well $250 to be exact.



Day 179

Bleh, thats all...



Day 180

Sour Patch Kids are fun to eat, and Yummy. But not as much fun when one is eating you...



Day 181

I went shooting this day. Its been over 13 years since I last went shooting. I woke up with a bruised shoulder the next day.



Day 182

I finally got my business cards. I love them. My cousin, who is an awesome graphics artist designed not only my business cards, which also have the same look throughout my website and blog



Day 183

Well I think tomorrow its about time to bust this bad boy out! I got my wakeboard near the end of the season last year, so I think I only road this board once since I have owned it. I think it was about time to get my own, not that its bad to have a family shared board, but I wanted my own
