Whit’s Tits Across America!

My dear friends. For weeks I have been talking on Twitter about the 31 rolls of film I shot on my great adventure to LA and back. Today you get to see some results. I broke my 31 rolls of film in to three very magical galleries which I will be posting over the next few days. This is pretty exciting because unless you are a close follower of my Tumblr you haven’t seen much of my 35mm work and you are about to see a lot of it.

My 35mm work is what I really think of as my artistic output and that’s part of the reason you haven’t seen it yet. One of these days I am going to do a book or a show and hopefully people will stop thinking of me as just a fucking party photographer. If you told me 10 years ago that I was going to end up shooting drunk 18 year old coke heads for a living I would have probably punched you in the neck because that is the type of guy I was back then. These days I am a bit more relaxed but still not really happy I spend most of my life documenting a subculture I have almost no respect for.  (Sorry kids! I still love you!)

Anyway, what you need to know about all of this 35mm work I am going to be posting is that it was shot with a Ricoh GR1 which is a point and shoot camera. It has more functionality than most film P&S cameras but the images tend to be flat and when using flash, very harshly lit. I love this raw look and it strips photography down to just the moment. Assuming they could compose for shit, which I no longer take for granted, anyone could shoot this stuff if you wanted to. So it all sort of comes down to vision and living life. And I would like to think that there aren’t many people who live life the way I do.

Now, all that artistic bullshit aside, this is one of the simplist and least artistic galleries I could possibly post.  A lot of these images are shit but they were a lot of fun to take. When you look at them all as a body of work I think they are kinda awesome and hilarious and probably pretty hot given the subject matter.

The first of my three 35mm galleries is nothing but photos of my friend and road trip companion Whitney flashing me in every place we could think of from LA to DC.  As you probably know by now we took this insane road trip and every time we stopped somewhere she got topless. It was sort of just like this running joke that turned into a gallery of 56 photos of Whit’s tits. (Which just happens to be her twitter name.)

Since these photos are all NSFW I can’t really post my favorite images below let me just quickly mention a few of my favorite flashing moments from our trip.  A drunken flash at Denny’s at 3:30 AM in Scottsdale, AZ might only have been out done by a flashing at 3:30 PM in the middle of a Cracker Barrel in rural Mississippi. Our stop at the “The Thing: Mystery of the Desert” was a highlight of the trip and some of the nicest topless shots.  In North Carolina she posed with guns, on boats and in an antiques barn. Our stops off the sides of the road made for some beautiful shots and hilarious shots. Let’s just say the cows in West Texas loved her boobs. Speaking of West Texas, we stopped in a small town and she flashed me in front of a taxidermy shop and a very strict constitutionalist run antique shop. She flashed me in pools, in trees and with friends… at gas stations, truck stops and creepy 24 hour adult book stores. And no flashing road trip could be complete without getting topless in the French Quarter in front of vomiting frat boys in New Orleans. It was a magical time.

Now before we finally get to the photos I just figured I should mention that there will be a lot more photos of Whitney in my road trip gallery (I even left in some nudes) but if you need more Whitney tomorrow on my Tumblr I am going to post a photo of her planking every hour on the hour starting at noon EST for 8 straight hours. You need to check that out and then come back here Tomorrow and Friday for the rest of the (slightly more “artistic”) 35mm shots from my epic photo adventure.

Now, finally, without (much) further ado, assuming you just didn’t skip all the madness up above…

Flux Suicide

Nearly a decade ago Driven By Boredom was one of the first advertisers for Suicide Girls. I ended up introducing Suicide Girls to a bunch of big webmasters and helped spread the word of naked tattooed girls long before anyone knew what “alt porn” was. In exchange for that early loyalty SG gave me a life time account which I have to this day. In 2002 I started talking to this Suicide Girl named Flux. We would talk online all the time and eventually we started talking on the phone and became very close. But she eventually got a boyfriend and moved across the country and I didn’t even get to meet her.  That is until 2007 when she came to NYC and we got to hang out and we walked all over the city and it was lovely.  I took some photos of her naked in her hotel room which looking back on are pretty awful. Still it was a lovely day.

Years passed and we still kept in touch and finally she came to visit NYC again under some pretty unfortunate circumstances. One of her friends died and she went to the memorial service near Coney Island.  She stayed with me and we hung out the whole time but she lost her wallet and was pretty bummed about her friend so we never really found a good time to take photos. The last night she was in town I was totally freaked out that I wasn’t going to get to shoot her so we took some random photos of her in my bed and then some shots of her doing hand stand push ups and crazy shit like that.  She is really into Cross Fit and wanted to show off some bad ass feats of strength.  All the photos I took were shot on 35mm.  The color ones on my little point and shoot Yashica T4 and the black and white ones were shot on my mom’s old Pentax that I learned to take photos on.

I didn’t really have plans to publish these except for a few here and there on my Tumblr. But I made a “Flux” folder on my desktop so I could send her all the photos I took and there they sat. I recently was looking at them and I realized that I could make a little mini set out of the photos like I did when I shot Zoe Voss on 35mm in LA.

So anyway, long story short. Flux rules. I miss her. And if you want to see way better and way more naked photos of her you should check her out over at Suicide Girls. But before you do that, click here to see all the NSFW 35mm shots I took of Flux Suicide when she came to visit NYC a few weeks ago.

PS. These are the first nude photos she has taken in several years. #WINNING

Why Do I Live Like This 35mm Pics

You have seen all my digital photos from the Prince Terrence/Dances With White Girls Why Do I Live Like This mini tour.  We went to Indianapolis, Louisville (and the Kentucky Derby) and ended the trip in Cleveland (and in a bathroom). But what you haven’t seen are the 8 roll of film that I shot on the trip.  The reason I got in the car with Terry and Dances and their ladies is because I wanted to shoot some crazy road trip madness and I got my wish. I shot all the crazy, but I also shot a lot of the just hanging out and eating food. Seriously, there are a lot of shots of us eating… I even shot a roll of slide film that expired 15 years ago.

When you look through the gallery I will give you some highlights to look for. You get to see Terry and I hanging out with some cows. Me screaming at a blue hippo. In Indy we shot off a lot of fireworks so there is a bunch of that. In Louisville you get to meet Terry’s amazing grandfather “The Dude”.  You get some NSFW shots including more of Haley Ann and a drunk lady flashing a midget at the Kentucky Derby. Speaking of the Derby there is a pretty nice shot of a guy getting arrested.  And of course there are a lot of shots of food.  All and all it’s a pretty serious gallery I think.

You need to check it out right fucking now by clicking here.

Zoe Voss

I spent more time with Zoe Voss on my Vegas/LA trip than anyone else yet somehow we didn’t manage to do an actual photo shoot.  I was introduced to her online by a mutual friend a few months ago and we talked on Facebook and Twitter briefly but that was it.  I was in Las Vegas for the AVN Awards and I recognized her and introduced myself. She didn’t seem super interested in talking to me so it surprised me when I heard her tell someone how great of a photographer I was the next day.  She asked me if we could shoot when I was in LA. Zoe was a fashion and runway model for four years before she started doing porn. She’s a fucking babe and kinda famous.  Clearly I wanted to shoot her.

On the second day of the Adult Entertainment Expo I saw her in line to get some food. She was taking a break from signing autographs and needed a hot dog.  She asked me to walk her back to her booth so porn fans wouldn’t harass her and I ended up spending her whole lunch break with her and we kinda bonded. She gave me her number and told me to hit her up when I got to LA.

I ended up texting her pretty much the whole drive to LA. It was pretty clear I had kinda developed a crush on the girl.  The next day she invited me to the dog park with her amazing puppy Kaya.  We drove out to the Hollywood Hills to this dog park right under the Hollywood sign. I took some photos of her with my 35mm camera.  After that we got some food and she drove me to the apartment I was subletting. I had to pick up the key.  My place was right next to Grauman’s Chinese Theatre and the premiere for Green Hornet was going on so we took her dog for a walk down Hollywood to check it out. We could see Seth Rogan and for some reason Tom Green across the street but Kaya was getting all the attention from the gawking tourists.

I was just planning on heading home after our walk but Zoe invited me for drinks with her ex-boyfriend and another friend of hers.  So we went back to her place and she got ready to go out while I played Angry Birds on my iPad. I took a bunch of photos of her getting ready to go out which is obviously the right move when a model/porn star is standing naked 5 feet from you.  I had my point and shoot 35mm camera and my old Pentax loaded with some black and white film so I finished both rolls on her.

After she got dressed we met up with her ex-boyfriend from high school who was visiting from Minnesota and headed over to the Chateau Marmont where she was meeting her friend for drinks.  It turns out her friend was James Frey who wrote the book A Million Little Pieces. It was a huge non-fiction best seller until it turned out he made most of it up and then that became and even bigger story. He was in town writing a pilot to a TV show for HBO that has something to do with the porn industry and wanted to talk to Zoe about the project.  When we got there he was at dinner with Richard Prince and several other well known artists. It was a bit surreal.  While she talked to him about porn I talked to the photographer next to me about photography and it turned out he was a fan of my ex-girlfriends dad’s art or something. Also sitting next at the table next to us was Katy Perry who happened to be sitting with my friend Mia. Mia was DJing at Bar Marmont at midnight so we ended up meeting her there after the James Frey drink session was over.  Zoe was really excited about getting to meet Jason Segel on the way out and her ex-boyfriend couldn’t believe that he had just spent $14 on one beer.

After we watched Mia DJ for a bit we dropped off Zoe’s ex and made a play for some more food at Fred 62. We created the worlds greatest milkshake by adding chocolate sauce to a peanut butter milkshake. It was kinda life changing. After dinner Zoe was falling asleep and she had a few drinks in her so she just wanted to pass out at my place.  I didn’t even have sheets on the bed but we hit up Wallgreens and I bought some sort of Snuggie like blanket things. She also made me buy her tampons which is always fun and awkward. We finally got back to my place and found out that there was a fucking bomb threat on my street and that we couldn’t even get to my apartment until it was clear.  She fell asleep in the car while I just sat there waiting for the cops to leave.  Eventually we made it home and curled under our makeshift blankets and passed out.  It was a lovely day in LA.

Zoe and I hung out a few more times that week but we never did manage to get that photo shoot in for some reason.  But I am sure I will see her again soon and we will get those fucking shots. Zoe is one of the coolest girls I know in porn and you would never know she did it unless you saw one of her movies. Which you should clearly do. But yeah, I totally miss the shit out of her.

Despite not shooting with her, I did take a bunch of photos that first day we met. I don’t have any photos at the Chateau Marmont for some reason, but I do have shots from all our other adventures including shots of her puppy, shots of the delicious milkshake… and oh yeah there might be a dozen or so photos of her naked… not that you guys would be interested in anything like that…

So what are you waiting for? I can’t believe you read that whole thing! Click here to see a photo document day in the of the exciting adventures of the stunning Zoe Voss and her adorable puppy Kaya! And of course these photos are very thankfully NSFW.

The Many Disguises Of The Hipster Grifter

Remember the Hipster Grifter aka Kari Ferrell? Well she is still in NYC and last time I shot her we took a few pictures with my 35mm camera that no one has seen yet.  They were shots of her dressed up in a variety of exciting disguises. I mean I think we all know that if you are going to be a successful grifter you are going to need some good disguises.

Oh, did I mention she is topless in all of them? I am not sure exactly why that is, but we like it, and it makes the gallery NSFW obviously.

Um yeah, so I am going to go ahead and try to sleep a tiny bit since I am not doing really awesome right now and you guys should click here to check out the naked Hipster Grifter disguise photos. Enjoy!

By the war Kari, we are still all waiting for you to become a Burning Angel

Kittehs!

So since I haven’t taken a single picture since last Thursday you get made up updates that I have just laying around.  Remember when I rescued the kittens I found in a box on Avenue D? Well I took a ton of pictures of them but everyone was sick of hearing about them.  I feel like enough time has passed that I can drop some cute bombs on you again.  After this I am pretty much out of kitten updates as I found them new homes and hopefully they are being treated wonderfully.  They had ear mites but they got treatment, got all their shots and we found out they were both boys.  They are named Maven and Jameson.  Jameson is the black one and I got rid of him first so most of the shots are of Maven because I shot an entire roll of 35mm film of him the last day I had him.  I miss him the most.

Thees things are just LOL cats waiting to happen.  Whoever makes the best LOL Cat out of these pictures wins a DBB tote bag or something.

Anyway, this is all I got for you today. Hopefully I shoot something epic tonight. Click here to see all the fucking adorable pictures of this fucking retardely cute kittens.

America

If America lived in New York again I would be a much better photographer.  She is one of my favorite people on Earth and without a doubt my favorite to photograph.  She is completely fun and completely photographic and the combination makes her pretty much the only real muse I have ever had. She is completely inspiring and makes me want to take photographs constantly.

I met her in NYC a few years ago but she quickly moved to Florida to go to school.  She has traveled around a bunch and is living in Saint Louis or Kansas City or something exciting like that.  Other than a visit to NYC about a year ago, the last time I really got to see her was right after Winter Music Conference in Miami. I was in Orlando for a few days and she lived there so I hit her up and we ended spending a day at Disney World.  Unfortunately I had just broken my camera in the process of helping trash a penthouse hotel room in Miami and had to make due with little blue plastic cameras that America and I bought at an Orlando flea market.

So fast forward two years and I find out I am headed back to Orlando right after WMC again.  I hadn’t talked to America in a couple of months, so I hit her up to see if she was still living in Orlando.  She wasn’t but she just happened to be visiting her family about an hour away from Orlando at the same time I was going to be there. I was pretty much ecstatic.  The guy who hired me to shoot a party in Orlando also works at Disney so he offered us free passess again.  We decided this year we should check out Disney’s Animal Kingdom.

Our trip got very delayed because the park was packed and they closed of Magic Kingdom. My friend was working there so we had to basically sneak in to get tickets. We pretty much had to lie to a half dozen Disney employees so we could get close to the Kingdom and park for free illegally.  The whole thing was quite the operation. When we finally got there we ended up getting completely lost and ended up on a dead end train ride to an island of goats that we could not escape for about 30 minutes.  Luckily the goats were fucking awesome and they head butted each other with great wrath and furious vengeance.  After the goats we hit up a mediocre Yeti themed roller coaster and we got to go on a safari where we saw hippos and things of that ilk.  Then we hit up a roller coaster for little kids and escaped from the park hungry for a terrible by gigantic Chinese buffet. The whole day was pretty much amazing.

During the day I took roughly two rolls of America with my 35mm camera and I am posting nearly 50 of the pictures and of those 50 I LOVE nearly a dozen of them.  That percentage is insanely unusually high. In a week I might shoot a thousand photos, publish 300 of them and love one or two. Loving 20 percent of the images is phenomenal, but then again so is America.  So, with that in mind, please click here to see all the photos from my trip to Disney World with America; my muse.
