Photo a Day – Day 16

I thought for today I would try another black and white photo. For some reason, I really like the look of black and white — almost more than I like color. Not completely sure why, but I’m just going to go with it for now. Anyway, here’s the latest picture in the series. Sixteen down, fourteen to go.

Photo a Day – Day 15

Let’s play a game, shall we? No, not ‘Global Thermonuclear War’ — this isn’t an early eighties Matthew Broderick movie. Instead, let’s play a game where I pretend I can count and you pretend that I can too. How fun will that be? I’m guessing quite a bit. Although, I’m probably biased, so who knows?

Anyway, here’s the latest in a virtually unbroken series of photos which are part of my “Photo a Day” project. If you’re tempted not to play nice or otherwise not play the game along with everyone else, please keep some vital things in mind.

Any change, no matter how slight, takes time and effort. Sometimes, you have one but not the other. And sometimes, you don’t have either one. And sometimes, you just get distracted by something shiny.

But, if your intentions are good, once in a while people can, and should, throw you a bone and overlook the blatant gaps in your plan. At least that’s how I see it.

Okay, let’s see how the second half goes. Fifteen down, fifteen to go.

Photo a Day – Day 14

No comments or witty banter this time around as I’m just plain worn out from various fun activities. Here’s the latest picture.

Photo a Day – Day 13

Due to circumstances beyond my control (ok, I forgot the cable to download pictures to my MacBook) I’m going to post a photo for today that was not taken today. It was, however, taken by me recently, so that’s almost as good, right?

Anyway, here’s a picture of my friend Matt Raub with non-other than Freddy Kruger himself, Robert Englund. Good times. And yes, I realize I posted this photo once before — but not during the “photo a day” festivities, so it doesn’t really count. Thirteen(ish) down, seventeen to go.

Again, my sincere apologies for the transgression. I shall endeavor not to forget things in the future. . . . Wait, what were we talking about?

Photo a Day – Day 12

Just in case you thought none of my photos would include pretty girls, here’s a couple of them for your viewing pleasure. Yes, they were very nice to pose for pictures but didn’t end up hanging with us very long. They had to leave and go meet some “friends.”

Actually, that was fine with us as we had to go and meet some more drinks at a different bar — so it all worked out. Twelve down, eighteen to go.

Photo a Day – Day 11

In honor of my work in the comics field, I thought it would be fun to put up not a picture, but a Manga. In fact, let’s just call it the “Manga Me.” Which, in fact, is what it is.

It’s a Manga version of me for all to enjoy. Not a picture, per se, but still pretty cool. Especially, of course, as it happens to be of me — or at least what I might look like as a character in a Manga.

See, aren’t I cute? In fact, I think my “Manga Me” might actually be better looking than I am in real life. Oh well, that’s how it goes sometimes. Eleven down, nineteen to go.

Photo a Day – Day 10

Here it is, ten days of photos. On top of that, I’m writing this entry using my iPhone and the WordPress Application. Pretty cool.

Ok, enough stalling, here’s the latest photo. Ten down, twenty to go.

Photo a Day – Day 9

Even though I was distracted the last few days by a fun trip out of town and also had to take time out of my day for a long meeting at a certain TV network to be named later, I’m still finding the time to post a picture. True, it is a bit late in the day. But what the heck, at least I made it.

You might also notice I’ve been absent from the various sites I contribute to the last week or so. After Chicago, various other things and most recently, San Diego Comic-Con, I needed a little break from work. I also needed to concentrate heavily on a particular writing project that’s on the brink of moving forward to the next level. Fingers crossed it will.

But fear not, I’ll be back to business as usual shortly. Until then, nine down, twenty-one to go.

Photo a Day – Day 8

I think I might have already missed a day of this experiment and if so, I’m apparently a loser incapable of sticking to anything for more than a few days at a time. Yeah, that kinda sounds like me. But I was really trying not to have it be that way this time.

Anyway, here’s the latest pic. Eight down, twenty-two to go.

Photo a Day – Day 7

Even though I’m on the road, I’m still managing to stick with my photo a day experiment. How about me, huh? If possible, I may post another one today, depending upon what happens. Until then, Seven down, twenty-four to go.
