Here’s yet another picture of the divine Marissa Miller just in time to be a day late for “Photo Tuesday.” Although, I did give you some great shots of Tricia Helfer and Katee Sackhoff from the BSG press event yesterday — so no complaining, please.
I also realize that having these kind of photos may land me a bit on the pandering side of things. But then again, who cares? She looks purty. And sweaty. And I feel like sharing.
Enjoy.
Seriously, does it get much better than this woman? Living in Los Angeles, I’m lucky enough to see and come in contact with (aka sit across the Starbucks and stare at) some of the most beautiful women in the world. However, with all those other woman running around here, Marissa Miller still rises to the top.
So, in honor of photo Tuesday, here’s a few shots of her from a recent issue of GQ. Heck, there’s even one in Black & White to fulfill the “arty” quotient for this week. Oh, and if you’re interested, check out all of my photos from the recent Wizard World Chicago extravaganza over at ComicMix.
But for now, enjoy these and be inspired.
Obviously, I have some sort of issue with deadlines. For whatever reason I don’t seem capable of making them. For example, here it is Wednesday and I didn’t post anything for “Photo Tuesday” yesterday. How can I expect people to faithfully read this blog if I can’t even remember to post something regularly?
That’s a good question and one that deserves an answer. Sadly, I don’t really have one for you. Perhaps someone smarter than myself can offer one? That would be great.
Meantime, let’s start with a few links. First off, here’s a couple to direct you to my latest articles from around the internets.
I go out on a limb and pick six of The Best Movies Adapted from Comic Books.
The latest installment of my ongoing BSG Weekly articles.
Rick Marshall on why his life is like Rocky IV.
An interesting, and disturbing, story about a van driven onto the runway in Seattle and nobody notices or seems to care.
Napster offers DRM-free mp3 music.
LAist loves Ikea’s salty balls.
This is funny. TUAW-bashing is always good for a laugh.
And, as I still do try to meet deadlines, even if circumstances get in the way, here’s a couple photos to commemorate “Photo Wednesday.” These were taken by my friend Anthony Dalesandro who, besides being a great director, is also a pretty good photographer too. Enjoy.
Yes, I’ve been busy contributing and making the Internets a better place with my work. You want examples you say? Well, come close and take a look at these: My latest BSG Weekly article and also my article about the Six Worst Movies Adapted from Comic Books.
And of course, it being Tuesday and all, how about some photos? Sure, what the heck. Here’s a couple taken by me on my recent trip to New York.
I like to take pictures. It’s really fun and sometimes even results in a great photo or two that I can be proud of. So, owning several digital cameras (and a few film ones still as well) was not a hard decision for me. That’s my new digital SLR in the photo there. The Nikon D300. A great camera.
So, if you’re still wondering what to get that special someone on your list why not be like thousands of others these days and get him/her a digital camera too? They’re fun and mostly easy to use and let you have a camera ready when you really need one. But now that you’ve decided to get some sort of digital camera, which one do you get? Its a tough decision and one with a lot of variables.
Fortunately, some people have taken most of the guesswork out of it and put together a few ideas on how to select the right digital camera. Interested? Well then, head on over here for the help you need on digital camera selection. Or, if you’re like me and want more from your cameras and don’t mind spending extra to get it, check out this guide to picking the right digital SLR camera.
Happy Shooting!
Congress passes a law helping to solidify the position of bloggers as “real” journalists. Could be a step in the right direction. Still has to get signed by Mr. Bush but perhaps it will. We’ll see.
Just in case anyone still comes here let’s just say that I’m almost to the point of returning. As you know, many things have happened lately, including my father being very ill, that have basically turned my life into pale imitation of its former self. Not that what I was doing was so great, just that I had more time to actually do it.
Now, it seems like most of my time is spent dealing with “things” and not my own life. Although, I’m sure there are people in the world with far more going wrong in their lives than me so I will do my best not to bitch. Still, things were going pretty great up until recently and I would really like to get back on that road as soon as possible.
Until then, I will content myself with thoughts of sandy beaches, warmer climes, large bar tabs and a much needed vacation. All of it coming soon courtesy of the impeding nuptials of Tony and Jenn who have graciously decided to have their wedding in the Cayman Islands. Naturally, I felt obligated to attend. After all, they are my friends. I couldn’t very well let them get married on an exotic Caribbean island without being there to celebrate with them. I felt I owed it to them.
The fact that I benefit as well never entered my mind. To help tide you over until the inevitable deluge of photos from the trip, here’s a few of the island taken by someone else besides myself (the groom-to-be actually). Enjoy.
Went and met about 50 other photographers in Chinatown last Saturday. It was part of the first Flickr Meetup of 2007. In case you don’t know, Flickr is a cool photo sharing community where people post photos and talk about photography and whatever else strikes their fancy. Its a great place to see some cool photographs and meet some interesting people.
At the meetup, we walked around and shot some photos and also had some lunch. A nice bunch of people. Here are a few of my pics from that day.

In case anyone was wondering I have been busy of late. Yes, I know what you are thinking: “what’s with all the excuses?” Well, what can I say except that for some reason I seem to be somewhat in demand. Not so much in demand I guess, but more like time crunched. I have commitments to several things these days: writing for cinematical, comic book resources, running the other business and many other things.
Plus, as of last week I am now the technology editor at LAist so that means they are gonna expect more from me as well. No more just writing what I want whenever I feel the “muse.” Now, I gotta come up with some tech stuff each and every week or else they won’t give me my hard-earned buckets o’ cash. Well, buckets is probably too strong a word. What’s a word that means one small step above absolutely nothing? I don’t know but whatever it is, its small.
Anyway, I’ve been working on all that stuff so this blog, as always, ends up suffering for it. I really wish there were more hours in the day or, more to the point, that I wasn’t such a lazy procrastinator. That way, I could actually make time and have time for all the things I need to do in my life. Perhaps there are some tidbits of info from somewhere in the vastness of the internet where I could get help with my problems? If only that were true. I’ll look around and if I find anything, I’ll get back to you.
In other news, this past week I went to the opening night festivities for the Photo LA show and saw quite a few interesting photographs. I always wish I would make more time to take pictures so seeing these photos I was hoping would inspire me to do it. I think it helped a little but time will tell. I just don’t feel inspired to create as much as I used to. I’m not sure what that means but I don’t like it very much. I hope its just a temporary thing and will pass. Let’s hope so.
So, take a look at some of these photos and try to get inspired. I will too.
