I received some new presets yesterday and figured I'd test them out on old pictures. Here, then, is a retrospective of 2006:

Domer in the woods by Capen



Domer sleeping outside said woods. I got him up at 6, he was upset.

Jenna and I at MSU. Notice how chubby and disheveled I am. NOTE IT!

Meet Grace. She is a fiercely intelligent and quite striking girl who happens to be a Nintendo, LOTR, and Magic: The Gathering nerd. She's also a future NYC resident and current fashionista and hipster. She's like a walking Chuck Norris or Bill Brasky joke.

"Grace Clarke once made the entire Vivienne Westwood Spring '08 collection out of burlap sacks, a bag of oversize buttons and the entire contents of the dumpster out behind a Macy's."

"Grace Clarke defeated Ganondorf using nothing but an empty bottle and a Poe tripping on xanax and quaaludes."


A few selects from the first half of the shoot. Poor girl may have cataracts after shooting 5 strobes at her full power for well over an hour. She rarely blinked. Actually, should have gotten her with the Buddy Holly glasses. That girl is BLIND! Might explain the lack of blinking, actually.

Also, we kept the sensor noise and the backdrop wrinkles as the concept actually was photoshoot with this girl.

Listen, anyone who plays Magic doesn't deserve to be this smug.

1939: Gehrig ends streak. I've seen this speech so many times and paraphrased by so many people that it should be cliche'. But it isn't, it transcends cliche. Still get goosebumps with the "luckiest man" bit.

By the way, this is my acting website until I can finish the flash site. I don't get many opportunities to work on it with my work load. The semester is rapidly closing, so it may be finished soon.

Seriously. Watch this show. How can NBC even THINK of leaving this gem on the bubble?
