I was helping Colter set up lights for his wardrobe example shoot tonight. He ended up renting a bunch of stuff from Western Rentals and had a few friends pose in costume for a production pitch packet he is putting together. Morgan was there to help with fitting and make up.

On every fourth day of July, my friend Casey creates a fireworks spectacle for his friends and family to watch in terror. Previous displays have resulted in near injury and fire, but this year went off without a hitch (photo by: Pat Starr). Casey’s nephew is always in attendance and always messing with Casey in between explosions. Some day he will take over the festivities when Casey has no more fingers to light the fireworks.
07:01:11 – Captain Juice
This is the last you’ll see of Juice Box on the 365 Project. It saddens me to say, but Juice was put to sleep after a long struggle with life as a hedgehog. His inability to walk, let alone stand, prevented him from getting to his food and water bowls. I took to feeding him by syringe a few times a day which seemed to work for a while, but recently he started refusing water. I felt torn with the option of letting him suffer out his days, immobile and helpless, or help him cross with whatever dignity the poor guy had left. After talking to the vet and another hedgehog expert, I decided to stop his suffering.
06:30:11 – Half a Year
Today marks the half way point for my 365 Project. If you’re just checking this out for the first time, I am attempting to take a picture, make a graphic, paint a painting, shoot a video, or some other semi-creative outlet, each day of the year. It has been challenging but equally as rewarding, and I fully intend to see this through to at least the end of the year.
Here are a few of my favorites so far this year:
- 01:18:11 – I Drink Your Milkshake
- 01:25:11 – Zebra Steak
- 02:08:11 – Doggy Heaven
- 03:05:11 – Laguna Beach
- 04:15:11 – Frank and Beans
- 05:21:11 – Top Of The Hill
Also, my friend has been doing this for the past year and a half and still going strong. Check his site out right here.
06:29:11 – Studio Colter
I was helping Colter set up some lights for a test run of the photo shoot he plans to have next Tuesday. I piggybacked off the flashes fired by using a 2 second exposure during his shot. The focus is soft because I never focused it, I just sat it on the counter, pointed it in that direction and estimated 3 feet for the focus.
06:26:11 – Bus Trench
Instead of driving to the Electronic Daisy Carnival, we decided to take the buses that ran from Hard Rock Hotel to the Las Vegas Speedway where the festival was held. Supposedly it was a nightmare the first day, but it was all sorted out by the second day and they had hired a bunch more buses to handle the demand. When we left at 3:45, there were lines of buses waiting to take people back to their hotels, but I guess if you stayed until sunrise, the bus lines took up to 1.5 to 2 hours. I’m glad I left when I did.
