Frank Martinez > Theme: Endurance

What a ridiculous birthday weekend.  Had a three hours of sleep the night before, worked a 12 hour busy day, and attended a party.  Got home about 5 am.  Totally collapsed the second my body touched my bed.

Frank Martinez > Theme: Lyrics

I was thinking of doing a piece for the Mini Dgrin Challenge this week.  The theme is lyrics.  I put this one together today.  What a freaking hard blend it was.  I need another person to shoot these SPs with me.  LoL.  Enjoy!

Rem - Loosing My Religion

"That's me in the corner
That's me in the spotlight
Losing my religion
Trying to keep up with you
And I don't know if I can do it
Oh no I've said too much
I haven't said enough"
Frank Martinez > Theme: Mysterious

I felt like being a spook today.  This was pretty fun.  One light directly under me.  A little HDR treatment for the added 'spook factor'.  Let me know what you guys think. ;-)
Frank Martinez > Theme:  Beginning

Ladies and gentlemen.  Started my mission of a self portrait a day by theme. 

Well, since I started today, I figured I'd make my self portrait theme 'Begining'.  I was playing Rock Band 2, and played one of my favorite  songs.

Nothing like sweet victory.  Email me if you have any suggestions for tomorrow's theme.  Thanks for looking.

The Coffee Challenge...01/12/09
The Challenge: Show us your interpretation of the word, "Coffee."
The Participants: Kre8ive, John (300m), Bill Pador, Karina Boese, Johnloguk, Creative Deviance, Lady Kate, The Curious Camel, MyKey, Fotoeffects, Hillary, and myself. 
The Result: I'm very dissapointed with this week's entry.  I was planning a really special shot, but it started to snow and when I went to the place, there was no one there.  Saturday, while I was at work, I found a bunch of coffe beans on the street.  I have no idea how they got there.  So I took a shot of one.  Sorry for the late entry and the mediocre shot.

The Reflection Challenge...01/05/09
The Challenge: Show us your interpretation of the word, "Reflection."
The Participants: Kre8ive, John (300m), Bill Pador, Karina Boese, Johnloguk, Creative Deviance, Lady Kate, The Curious Camel, Karina Boese, MyKey, MSpencer, and myself. 
The Result: Damn.  This was hard.  I had a great concept for this week's challenge, 'Reflections'.  But I don't feel I executed it well enough.  The little halo from when I was attempting to blend both layers is making me mad, like a mad cow.  The idea behind this picture is reflecting on being the only one that will mourn me if I die.  I call this one 'A Good Mourning'.

The Sense Challenge...12/29/08
The Challenge: Show us your interpretation of the word, "Sense," or any spelling of the word.
The Participants: Kre8ive, John (300m), Bill Pador, Johnloguk, Creative Deviance, The Curious Camel, MyKey, MSpencer, and myself. 
The Result: ["Sensei"
Usually used when regarding to Martial Arts, Sensei means teacher.  

One of my good friends called me last night.  She said her son wanted to be a model.  I told her my rates, and we scheduled a shoot for next Sunday.  She invited me over for drinks so I brought my gear along.  He didn't know how to pose, so I was instructing him on how to position himself.  I ended up loving one of my classic poses interpreted by him.]

The Challenge: Show us your interpretation of the word, "Tungsten."

The Result: [Nothing but Tungsten on.

Side note:  I'd like to apologize to the people that found my picture offensive.  I had no intention to make anyone upset.  This is what came to mind when I was presented with the challenge.  I'll make sure my subsequent entries will be child friendly.]
