To expand on John's cmts. I'd make you a member of the apache group - that's usermod -G apache todd, making it a secondary group, *not* your personal primary group.
markAt this time, todd is a member of the apache group, however apache is setting permissions to 755, so todd cannot write to the files once apache has modified them or created them...or am I missing some salient point?
---- yes - make them group writable...
chmod g+w some_file chmod g+w some_subdirectory chmod g+w some_directory -R # subdirectory and all files below
