I got glasses, yo! Wooooo.
And to explain the flowers, I could make up something cheesy and sappy about how I'm blooming or crud like that but I really just liked how the light was hitting this fake plant. And the fake plant itself has sentimental value because it has been with my family for as long as I can remember, and I wanted to have a photograph of it.
69/365.
I'm still playing catch-up. This was last Saturday.
Here is a somewhat frightening selfie I just took using my newly acquired Viltrox 13mm 1.4 AF. Used on-camera flash with the Fuji X-T3. There is some expected distortion as I was only about 6" from the front element. Resolution doesn't disappoint. Raining today -- will get some outdoor shots soon.
365days completed. Two words I never thought I would type. It has been a long year
and I always looked towards the end as so far off. Let's start with some information about this picture.
I took this shot at Anna Jean Cummings Park in Soquel (aka Blue Ball Park). Shooting time took about 2 hours. My friend Jeremy was a great help to the project. He fired the shots via a shutter release cable while I moved from pose to pose, and character to character. Each character is one that I used in a previous 365days shot.
The hardest part of the shot was the shadows. When I scouted the location the previous day it was a little overcast and the shadows from the tree behind the camera were not as pronounced. This obviously complicated the photoshop work but in the end adds to the realism so I'm still happy I chose this spot (no matter what I yelled during my time in photoshop). Speaking of photoshop it took about five hours to put this together. There are 17 copies of me each with a different outfit.
Here is my plan for the picture
And here is the video of the shot sequence
Other fun facts from my project:
File size for final picture - 935MB.
Pictures taken in six different states.
9 self portraits explored
Most interesting was the LP portrait with 2,567 views and 31 favorites (should I feel bad my most popular photo doesn't show my face?)
I took 51 of my pictures while at work
25 while working at the movie theater
26 while working at the station
I wore a threadless t-shirt in 31 pictures
102 shots were taken with off-camera lighting
15 of my friends made guest appearances in the project.
I attended four weddings
Stayed awake for 24 hours straight on average once a week.
I look back on all the pictures and I remember all the details from the past year. The places I went, and the people I met. It has been a year of ups and downs, lefts and rights. And while I can better remember all the bad decisions it's more important that the project helps me remember all the friends I made in this past year in life and on flickr. These are the people that kept me going and inspired me every day. I cannot thank each and every one of them enough.
I originally began this project for a couple reasons. Firstly I found I wasn't using my camera as much as I felt I should so what better way to ensure camera usage than start taking a portrait every day. I also was interested in portrait photography but since my friends often ran from my lens I turned it on myself since I knew I wouldn't be running. Since starting this project I have begun working with models and my portrait work is coming along nicely. I have learned a lot about photography and a lot about life.
Thank you all for following me on this photographic journey.
Today in We're Here!, we're sharing crazy faces. This is one of mine... and yes, I can make my eyes do that.
Day 184 of Year 3 was also a "crazy face" day. Almost 11 years ago.

First Appearance - Shadow of the Bat #72 (March 1998)
Drakken was a hitman who was hired by Edmund Gryzl, a "collector" who wanted the head of a man named Crazyface Burrell, an underworld figure with scars all over his face.
Ugh, I think I pulled a muscle doing this. And I wasn't even really kicking so much as just lifting my leg and trying to keep my balance. I'm old and fat and out of shape. Booo.
Have I ever mentioned I'm kind of silly?
With that said I had imagined this picture from the very beginning and I love it. I bought this shirt from shirt.woot.com/friends.aspx?k=4107. I missed this one on the initial sale but I was able to pick it up in the derby and it's totally worth it. Today was the first day I wore it and after some approving laughter from my co-workers I knew I needed to use it in my self portrait for the day. After a quick trip to the party store I had a new pirate hat and hook and was ready to go!
Strobist Info: Butterfly lighting, Vivitar 285HV shot through umbrella at 1/2 power directly above camera.

I know it's a little early, but come on this is going to make a excellent halloween costume. Now if I can only find a developer to write a robot version, my plan will be complete.
It's just a trash can with an eye slit, but if you require more in depth instruction check out my post on insturctables
Whew! What a day. Please, make sure to check out the Birthday Set for larger versions of some of these photos, and photos without me in them! They're awesome I promise!

WHAT IS YOUR DEEPEST FEAR ?
Personally, I think that my biggest fear is death. I mean, not the death itself, 'cause I'm an Atheist and so I do not believe in Paradise or Hell, but, for better saying, I fear my last moments before I die.
I often ask myself what I'll have in my mind in these last moments. Will I ask my relatives for a help they will be unaible to do? Or will I be satisfied of the life I leaded? The last words of the French actor Yves Montand have been: "I lived well and I regret nothing!". He had a good life and did lots of things, indeed!
In the other hand, the French/Chilean artist and movie maker Alejandro Jorodowsky, said, in an interview in French, that he saw many of his friends dying, and that even if it was a "soft" death in a hospital, it has always been violent for them!
Something interesting: the Roman philosopher Seneca wrote, in his tragedy called Thyestes, that the worst death is this one of a man who, known by everybody, dies before to have known himself.
Also, I guess everybody knows what were the last words of John Lennon when the ambulance arrived. He just said: "I'm dead". He was a great visionary, indeed!
I hope I'll have a good death.
And you, what is your biggest fear???

my little chick-a-dee wanted to dance around in a leotard today...such great fun she had jumping on the bed... what she does best. ♥
Me and my sister kept staring at this random photo from today, trying to figure out what the heck Nova is doing with her body. We don't get it!! LOL. I think she broke herself in this picture. ;D
So this is what happens a lot when I try to take a picture of Kristen! It really is hard work getting a decent picture of her!
I've decided this photo may be a great one to embarrass her when she starts dating!!! Sounds like fair payback to me….don't you think???

This photo has taken my emotions by surprise.....it's not because of my boy & his crazy face, but the light that is so amazing that I am so thankful that God gives us this beauty at the end of the day. And even more thankful that I found photography, so I can appreciate through the camera even more than I can just through my eyes. Amen :)
I can't wait for you to meet Tiara! I am Tiara's Auntie Jo...her mama and I have been best buds for 26 years! Ok...Tiara is the most fashion minded girl I know. She is ALL bling! And she wants to be a model when she grows up...so I thought...why wait? And gave her a model shoot and a homemade album for her birthday. It gets better...she packed 10 outfits...accessories included for her shoot! So so so cute. I love her. When we got done with the 7th outfit, I said, "Ok, baby, wanna go play with Josie now?" She responded, "But I have three more outfits!"
Enjoy the fashionista that is...my Tiara!

Sad Bear Clown is working on a book: SAD BEAR CLOWN'S GUIDE TO EVERYDAY GLAMOUR.
On his back-burner is SAD BEAR CLOWN'S FAVORITE FORTUNE COOKIE CLICHES.
On wrestling with his demons, Sad Bear Clown says, "It's not easy living with my Histrionic Personality traits but wandering around and making videos of myself has been very helpful to me, even though it's so expensive out of my pocket to hire a crew. I will admit, though, that it's rage-inducing when my Fregoli Delusion kicks in: this happens when my enemies disguise themselves and show up at my shoots -- I see you."
As of early 2023, Sad Bear Clown has announced that he is reinventing himself a mindfulness master. Police have put out warnings about donating to his proposed Wellness Center, which he says he'll oversee. Many people lost money on his travel-video flop. He has bought the domain name, grandguru.com, dismissing critics who call him an urban hayseed whose actual success was in selling insurance policies. He assures potential investors of his guru-master bona fides by citing the number of self-help books he reads, and the time he spends meditating.
In a recent social media post, he faulted concerned friends who offered condolences: they didn't say the exact right thing. [Sad Bear Clown is known for pronouncing, right, as, rate, as in "...the exact rate thing."]
NEWSFLASH: Is Sad Bear Clown planning to pay off a D.C. luxury realtor with new seed money from a D.C. Doctor-investor in his non-existent Wellness Center? The realtor had turned over cash for a travel video-pitch-flop hosted by The Clown: Is she now touting on fb that God is manifesting Sad Bear Clown's dreams, to recoup her stagnant investment from fresh hapless marks? Bunko is on it.

www.youtube.com/watch?v=3AhASD1eBjg&ab_channel=SteveL... -- THE JOURNEY by Rob Fahey with Hollins Ferry -- Nick Longo and Tony Vega, all writer-singer-multi-instrumentalists; Baltimore Breakout pioneers. Tony and Rob had previously been in regional- and CYO-favorites Wizard. Nick and Tony, like brothers, had been in bands together since the late '60s. I remember hearing VENUS by Shocking Blue; Badfinger, Kinks, Beatles, The Left Banke by these teenagers in our basement: I was pre-teen.
Hollins Ferry were on the radio with their original songs from their eponymous LP, on Top 40 WCAO AM Radio 60, 'The Good Guys', 98 Rock-FM, WKTK-FM, and a WKTK compilation LP.
I remember Vince Raymond saying, 'I heard your brother's band on the radio, on WCAO': we were about 18. Nick's playing and harmonizing in this song reminds me of Yes' Chris Squire.
