Our Daily Topic: Something Sinful


Couldnt find much inspiration for the topic, and at the last minute came up with this idea....obviously lots of processing done, but i am pretty happy with the way it came out!

Sidenote: Eminem - Cinderella Man came on, while thinking of a bad ass line for my Sin City character to say, what a coincidence i can relate it back to SIN!

Sunday, the 25th chimed in as my 5th ALS walk to help defeat the disease. Unfortunately, my Uncle fell victim to the disease and the object of the walk (as any other walk for a cause) is to not only raise awareness of the disease, but also work to find better ways of preventing and possible curing the disease. Pictured above is Senator Chuck Schumer cutting the red tape for the race as well as a pre-race candid. Chuck Schumer has been fighting hard to raise the awareness of the disease and expressed a lot of concern, as well as shaking the hands of every walker that attended.

Fun day with my nephew at the ALS walk in Eisenhower Park.

The walk = fun
Doing it with a 4 year old running around like a Tiger, hissing and roaring = AMAZING

Today's Challenge: Locks

Not much behind it, pretty much a lock and key, i appreciate the grungy-ness of the door knob though. Looks very worn.

Today's Challenge: Capture the feeling of the fall Equinox....getting out of work at 5:30, i cannot capture the early sunset the way I would like.

Fall decorations line the house as we approach fall. I took the most fall associated decorations and tied them together to make an autumn feel.

This is without a doubt my favorite season...happy fall.

22(2)/30 - WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS

22(2)/30 - WAKE ME UP WHEN SEPTEMBER ENDS, originally uploaded by Mike Manusama.

About a week left in the project I started out at....and the motivation to shoot every day wears thinner every day lol.

This candid is a snapshot at how motivated I am toward this project lately. First things first I will find something to pick me back up and get back on track. I've been sleeping people, but as soon as I wake I'm coming back with better stuff! This last week I vow to challenge myself, and who knows, I probably will extend the project passed the 30 days of September. After all, I have a solid fan base of about 2.5 daily. Can't let all those people down!

Yep...I sold out tonight. Inspiration was far beyond my reach. Must be the whole "middle of the week" vibe you get into. I took out my frustrations teasing my dog with a treat for as long as possible (don't call PETA). By the end of this shot, he was practically drooling all over the carpet, like "CMON MIKE! PLEASE! PLEASE! STOP TAKING FRIGGIN PICTURES! YOUR KILLING ME!"


Whatever the case, I got him in his most desperate begging position, and i decided to give him a second one for being a good model.
