Crazy Photo Weekend

Tuesday, January 29th, 2008

Let’s just jump right into the photos, eh?

This is Ashley, a young woman with a ton of potential who has taken part of the offer I posted about last week. She doesn’t have a ton of modeling experience, but as I’m sure you’ll all agree…you can’t tell.

More after the jump.

Working in Ice

Monday, January 21st, 2008

I said last week that I would start taking photos for myself at least once a week. I also said I’d write on here with that same frequency. I guess I’ll kill two (insert noun) with one (noun) today. Check it out after the jump.

Unprecedented

Friday, January 18th, 2008

After I started talking about things I would do in the new year. I started thinking “I’m going to do something this year, that I haven’t done in many years”, and as a result I’ve decided to hand out a bunch of free shoots.

So, here’s what I’m doing:

10 free full-day modeling shoots ( 5 random people, 5 of my choosing )

1 free wedding.

“So how do I get this deal David?”

I’ll tell you. In the upper right corner of this website is a button that says “contact me”. You click that and fill out the contact form with the subject line “free photos”, in the message box…tell me a story. Tell me who you are and why you want to shoot with me (yes “because it’s free” is acceptable, I suppose)

I’m going to give this until the end of February. Then I will choose the winners and post them here.

Better Late Than Never

Wednesday, January 16th, 2008

Last time I wrote I said that next time we would talk about new years resolutions. That next time is this time today. I actually have not had the time until now to really think about what I wanted from, or what I would do during this new year. So, although we are halfway into the first month of another year, I figure that now is as good of a time as any to nail it down for certain.

1. I will write in this blog at least once a week.

2. The new sections of my site will be up before the end of February.

3. I will go and take photos for myself at least once a week.

4. I will read at least two new books a month.

I know these aren’t the standard “I will lose a billion pounds” or “I will save more money” types of commitments. Let’s face it, New Year’s resolutions have become something that we all know we won’t do. People say the same thing every year. So, my fifth and final resolution is to actually keep the commitments I have made to myself.

Now, if I could only find the time to get started.

Anyone want to get started inventing a time machine for me?

No?

Think about it.

A little bit of everything

Friday, January 4th, 2008

Well friends, it’s been a bit hectic over here as I’m sure it has been for you all too. The holidays have a tendency to do that. As a result, I am running a bit behind schedule with the rest of the overhaul for davidbickley.com. It will be live soon though, rest assured…
