Most of the women in this set are bartenders but there are a couple who are waitresses at bars. My wife and I go to Legal Seafood pretty regularly and one of the bartenders is a big reason why. It’s funny but there’s no picture of her in this set. Maybe we’ll stop by tonight and I’ll see if I can’t get one. If I do many I’ll add it to this set, but in the meantime, enjoy!
Maybe that’s not the right term for this set? I’ve done big beards, scruffy beards, mustaches and sideburns but today I was looking at a face with a carefully quaffed beardish thing going on. This set is about guys who treat their faces as hirsute canvases, shaving and shaping their hair into a shape and pattern that’s just right. I’ve tried not to include too many men that have only one facial hair element (a nifty mustache for example) but instead wanted at least a couple of things going on. There are – as always – exceptions. Enjoy!
Every day is somebody’s birthday. If you wish everyone you meet a happy birthday you stand a good chance of being right at least some percentage of the time. I’ve been surprised by how many people I’ve photographed on their birthdays without realizing it. That’s what this set is all about – coincidental birthday photos. Since it’s Wednesday the set is a mix of men and women and I sure hope you’ll enjoy them. Sorry for being lame and not posting the past few days. Things happen.
It’s been three days without a new Daily Dozen. Boo on me. I’m traveling (on business) and haven’t had time to put together a fresh set. I have managed to take some pictures though! More to come but not today. 
I was kind of surprised to see I hadn’t already done a set of women in red but it doesn’t seem like I have. It gets tough over time to remember all of the Daily Dozen sets. Pintrist has been really helpful. I can see all of the sets and figure out which ones I either haven’t done or haven’t done in a while. At some point I know I will repeat themes but I’m trying to make sure I don’t reuse the same photos too often. It gets tricky. I do have an evolving system that’s working pretty well. Going back and doing it retroactively is pretty time-consuming though. Such is life.
As I was saying, it was a bit odd that I hadn’t done a set of women in red. There are sets of women with red lipstick, men in red shirts, men with red hair and women with red hair. It’s a good color and I’m glad I’ve finally posted it. Enjoy.
It’s safe to say that guys in the 21st century have gotten the short end of the accessory stick. When I did a set of women wearing necklaces recently there were so many photographs from which to choose. Today, not so much. It hasn’t always been the case though – think of all the great jewelry found in the tombs of kings and pharaohs. Alas those glory days have largely passed now. There are a few keepers of the flame though and here are 12 that might rekindle the look again!
Today’s set was going to be people with things – phones, bottles, harmonicas, etc. – but as I was putting the set together I noticed I had a number of pictures of people and dogs. Or even just dogs by themselves and decided to do that instead. Since I was a kid I’ve always had a dog or two. Sure, there were a couple of sorry windows here and there when that wasn’t the case but they’ve thankfully been few and far between. Here are a dozen dogs I hope you’ll enjoy.
Hopefully it goes without saying that this set features men. It’s funny all the different ways chest hair can make itself known. Obviously if a fellow is shirtless you’re likely going to see some hair. Likewise if they’re wearing an open shirt. On one occasion I was doing a photo shoot and someone was all buttoned up but had neglected to wear an undershirt and tufts of hair were poking out from between his buttons. The photos below feature chest hair in a wide variety of situations. Enjoy.
There’s something very cool about a picture that captures dynamic motion. (I suppose all motion is dynamic, but what I mean is that shows it in a way that’s easy to appreciate. Hair is an obvious place to look for motion and I was thinking about it this morning and wondering how many shots I have of women whose hair is moving in some way. It turns out there were quite a few. There were several of dancers for Beats Antique, a few of people running, some of people in the wind and a couple of people singing. I’m not going to say that the motion in every one of these cases is dramatic but it’s there if you look.
I’ve posted glasses sets in the past. One featured rectangular glasses, another sunglasses (two sets actually – here’s the second) and one of rimless glasses. None of those sets were gender-specific. Today’s obviously is. While black rectangular glasses are the most common, I’ve tried to find pairs that stood out in some way, either non-rectangular or more colorful or with broad arms, etc. It’s interesting that the range of eyewear for both women and men is so narrow. Interesting and too bad. Glasses can be a great accessory but there’s just not very much interesting that I can see (no pun intended). Of course I’m one to talk since I wear black rectangles myself . . .
