“I’m scared! I’m staying in here with you belly!”

Day 327 – Black and White Beauty
Daniel was over this evening for some guitar action, but with it being that warm it is more like a work out, so I wasn’t really into doing something big tonight. So here is a shot of his black beauty… to be continued.

Day 326 – remember the eyes
I was going for a quick portrait today and while my brother snaped this shot, he caught me in the moment I told him to focus on the eye… so my tip for today, never forget the eyes!

Day 325 – in the weeds
After it has been raining the whole day yesterday, I was able to get out today. The weather was just beautiful, so I got my sunpak 120J out again. This thing just looks good.

Day 324 – Ice Cream always works

Day 313 – Scaring people for 313 Days

Day 303 – hire me
“It’s a walk-off!”
– Billy Zane – Zoolander
One for my Model Portfolio ;o) … Photoshop making ugly people sexy since the 90s!
Also I have been tagged a while back by Matt and Erkua, so here are ten facts about me:
1. – I am way to lazy even though I really badly need to move my ass and get a bit of exercise. Well, I got a sixpack wrapped in bacon – and as they say, everything is better with bacon ;o)
2. – I talk to myself… a lot, but at least the conversations are interesting.
3. – The bag I carry around most of the time puts most womens purses to shame with all the stuff I got in there.
4. – I can’t drink any kind of Coka Cola/Pepsi/Afri Cola, I get really sick and get a bad taste in my mouth that lasts for days
5. – I love the smell of tobacco, coffee and tea before it is lit, brewed and whatever you call it with tea, even though I don’t smoke, drink coffee and only have tea when I am sick.
6. – I can’t be around people with an unpleasant voice, drives me nuts! Even if they get into the door at the other end of the building and they just say good morning, my toenails curl up.
7. – I got a scar over my right eye which I got when I was about 3 or 4 (I think). I ran into a bed head first
8. – I don’t sit in chairs, I lie in them.
9. – I am not a sports car person – I like busses and vans
10. – Somebody once told me I got monkeyhands… long hands, long fingers and long and small palms.
Hope I found a couple of people who haven’t been tagged this much or not at all. Have fun with it!

Day 300 – Blast
Day 300… wow. That took quite a while and to be honest the further along the Project I come, less I can wait for it to be over. Not that it isn’t a lot of fun, but I can’t wait to put my camera down for a week and don’t have to think about clicking that shutter every day.
I had this shot on my list for a while now and I finally got around to do it. The shooting itself was pretty fast, but the edit was a pain in the butt and took hours mainly because I couldn’t get it the way I saw the shot in my head. Definitely the most complicated jigsaw puzzle I did ever… and the one with the most pieces as well.
On other news, I got asked to contribute to the Flickr/Getty Image Collection and you can purchase some of my work there.
