I finally finished organizing another year of my massive photo archives. Last night I went through all the 35mm as well and today I pulled a bunch of my favorite digital shots for this update. I have already started on 2018 as well so I am pretty damn close to organizing pretty much every photo I have ever taken, although my phone photography is a mess, but I don’t care about that. 

Anyway, looking at 2017  it’s pretty clear why I am so broke right now. I raised $22,000 on Kickstarter for my book Instaxxx and I thought that would be more than enough money to publish the book, and it was, the problem was that I spent months working on the book instead of working paying jobs and I didn’t really think about it because of all the money I had raised. That was stupid.

So, 2017 there are a ton of girl photos because I was working on a nude polaroid book, and then there are a ton of photos from events like AVN and Exxxotica where I was working those events pretty much just so I could be in places with a bunch of nude models so I could work on my book and then of course there are photos from the two  book release parties. So that accounts for like 80% of these photos and that is of course why my credit card bill is out of control. My bad, buy my book. 

There are of course a bunch of non naked people related images in here and I figured I should mention a few of the highlights. SXSW was cool. I was working for Playboy at the time and I did a couple of other jobs but it was pretty relaxing otherwise. I shot the Tisch Gala for NYU which also happened to be Alec Baldwin’s birthday so that was pretty great. I shot a few Trump related protests that were pretty boring photographically but there’s a few shots in here. There’s a few shots from my failed trip to the Galapagos and a few headshots for friends. I shot some tattoo stuff as always including the 20th anniversary of legal tattooing in NYC. I went to Florida and hung out with Mike Busey at his weird ass house. Oh and of course I shot the Brooklyn Zombie Crawl and my band played it as well and then we broke up which is a bummer because I really miss it. 

And then there were the juggalos…. My next book is going to be juggalos god dammit and I have now photographed the Gathering of the Juggalos 9 times but 2017 was the worst of em. I also went with my now girlfriend so I might have slacked off a little bit. Still it was cool because it was a totally different environment in Oklahoma City which will add some new scenes to my book. ICP also played in Brooklyn so I got a ton of ironic hipster juggalo photos which I feel like has to be good for something. And then finally we have the Juggalo March on Washington which I am not gonna even explain. Go read the post so I don’t spend 500 words repeating myself. 

Okay, that’s it. One step closer to organizing my life and one more giant update for you guys to waste some time clicking through. Time to start putting together my next book edit and finally building a damn portfolio site for the first time since 2008!

Hey this is Taurus. I met her on the Internets ages ago when she was a Burning Angel. That link is very NSFW but it used to give me money if you signed up via the link but I have no idea if it works anymore. I still get random affiliate checks from different adult sites I used to plug when I posted about their girls back in the day but it’s like $25 every 6 months so I never bother looking into where that money is coming from. Anyway, none of that matters. What was I talking about? Oh right. Taurus. 

We became friends on the Internet and then we finally met in real life in Vegas at the AVN week and I took some photos of her with our mutual friend in a parking garage. I was supposed to do a real shoot with her on a road trip when I went to Seattle but she had to cancel at the last minute and it wasn’t until AVN 2017 that we finally took some photos. These are the oldest photos I haven’t posted except for one set that is so old I may never post it and then some stuff I shot at the Gathering of the Juggalos that I am gonna save to promote my juggalo book with whenever that comes out. None of this is important but I didn’t post them because this terrible hotel art that’s in the background makes these photos look fucking cheesey as hell, but at least Taurus is hot so fuck it here they are. 

They have been on Girls of DBB for a minute in HD and there’s some bonus shots on there so like sign up for that already because I am broke as fuck right now and am in one of those fun depression periods where I am too unmotivated to actually figure out how to get some more work so I can pay off my increasing credit card debt. Party forever.

Now click here to see a bunch of NSFW photos of Taurus Angel in Vegas and may God have mercy on your soul.

Gonna make this post a quick one because 1) I am in Detroit visiting my girlfriend 2) You don’t care about the Miami Dolphins and 3) I am gonna do another post with a video from this event so I am gonna talk about it all over again. But I got some photos for you and they need at least some explanation.

My friend Michelle and I run Dolfans NYC, the largest Miami Dolphins fan club in the world. We throw this event every year called the #MetLifeTakeover where we throw a huge tailgate when the Dolphins play the Jets in New Jersey at MetLife Stadium. We also buy over 1000 tickets every year so you can sit in an almost all Dolphins section and it feel like a home game in Miami. It’s a lot of fun, especially when we win like we did on Sunday.

The night before we throw a pre-party at our bar Slattery’s Midtown Pub so that’s what the first half of the photos are from. 

We do raffles and fundraisers and sell merch both nights and we raise a ton of money for charity. We donated $2000 to the Miami Dolphins Foundation at the tailgate during the live taping of a radio show called Cup of Joe hosted by a former Dolphins player. We also had two of my favorite Dolphins of all time come to the tailgate as part of the Cup of Joe show. It was great. We also donated $2000 to the Jason Taylor Foundation as well and raised a lot more money that will be donated to various charities. 

Okay, so that’s enough of talk. Go look at the photos and I will be back in a few days when I get home and hopefully the video will be out soon. You can check out the trailer for it here if you want.

Indian Larry Motorcycles used to be a few blocks from my apartment and I would always stop by their block parties. One of the first jobs I ever did for Inked Magazine was shooting the block party in 2009. A few years ago they moved to Greenpoint and I haven’t been to a block party since, but my friends at Sailor Jerry were there and asked me to swing by and when I heard a guy was going to jump a motorcycle Evel Knievel style I wasn’t gonna say no. 

Cole Freeman jumped his Harley across a pyramid of 9360 bottles of Northern Chill water which is honestly a god damn incredible branding promotion. I mean the actual jump lasted about 2 seconds but it was awesome and a million people took photos and video of their water. They got promotion and we got the chance to maybe see a guy die right in front of us, but he made it because he’s great and because this is fucking America god dammit. 

Look, it was great, it was a really fun time and I would have stayed a lot longer except I had to do all of this Miami Dolphins related stuff which I will tell you guys about in a couple of days but I gotta wake up in 4 hours to organize a tailgate party for a few thousand people at an ungodly time in the morning so look at these photos in the meantime.

I uploaded these photos of Michelle to Girls of Driven By Boredom last week and then totally forgot to write up this post and give you guys the pictures too. Well here we are and it’s Monday night and you are finally getting an update. My bad.

So here are some photos of my friend Michelle. I actually met her on Tinder years ago and we hung out once and didn’t really talk again but we were friends on Instagram so when I was working on my book Instaxxx she hit me up and asked me if she could be in it. She’s not a model or anything and I was really looking for more people to be in the book that weren’t professional naked people so I was excited to have her in it. 

One night I hit her up about doing it and she told me she couldn’t because she had to pick her friend up for the airport and I made some dumb joke like “is she hot and does she want to be naked in a book?” and Michelle replied “actually she probably would be down” and later that night I showed up at Michelle’s apartment and we shot a bunch of photos of her and her friend and a few of them ended up in the book. (There are some digital outtakes on Girls of DBB somewhere too.) I think they were the first professional naked photos either of them had ever taken.

After that night Michelle and I stayed in contact and actually became pretty good friends and she told me that after we took photos she became way more open to doing naked photos and had shot with a mutual friend of ours and she wanted to do a proper shoot with me. I was down and we took a bunch of photos of her in her bedroom and now you get to look at them.

I should plug Girls of DBB one more time, because by the time Michelle got out of her underwear it was too dark in her room and so most of the fully nude photos were pretty bad so instead of giving them to you guys I figured I would just put them on Girls of DBB and make the people who want to see those pay for them so that I can afford to eat delivery food every day of my life and never learn to cook.

Yeah, now go look at some damn photos and remind me to take more photos of Michelle ASAP now that I have published these because I think the world needs more photos of her.

Back in January I was on the floor of the Adult Entertainment Expo in Vegas and I was looking at this girl trying to figure out how I knew her. She recognized me from the logo on my hat and introduced herself as Whiskey Kitten a cam girl I knew from Twitter. I was excited to meet her because we had talked about taking photos and she asked me if I had some time to shoot and I honestly didn’t but I found some time anyway and met up with her and her friend Goldie Fawn at the AirBNB they had rented. 

We took a ton of photos and there’s pretty much an entire set of them that I published already but we took to many photos that I have this second set which is totally different from the first photos. But before I get any further in this, we need to address the title of the post: Raya Blade & Goldie Fawn.

Who is Raya Blade you ask? Well apparently that’s Whiskey Kitten’s new name. Her name is constantly changing on Instagram too and I can never find her when I am trying to tag her in something. It’s really a branding nightmare and I really don’t know how to deal with any of it, but I promised her I would complain about it in the post so here we are.

Anyway, getting back to the pictures…  after we shot that first set I mentioned above, they asked me if I would take some photos of them out on the balcony that overlooked the city. I don’t usually use lights but it was pretty impossible to get both them and the skyline to show up without a little bit of light on them. They had a small light that they use for camming and that was all I needed. I cranked my ISO and put this little bit of light on them and we were good to go. I even was able to get some pretty cool shots of them in the reflection of the sliding glass door that looked out onto the balcony. It ended up being a really good shoot and I hope I get to shoot both of these girls again.

And as always make sure to sign up for Girls of Driven By Boredom to see these photos in high resolution and a ton of other exclusive content that only exists over there. With the death of media in this country I am running out of clients so I need Girls of DBB to make some more damn money so I can keep doing this shit for a living. Thanks. 

In other news I am going out of town for Labor Day so I will see you guys next week. Have fun with your holiday or whatever.

As I start to get ready to work on my next book project, I want to try and move on from the last one. I still have three boxes of my book Instaxxx in my living room as well as some prints and other things leftover. I got some books signed by some adult film stars and some limited editions left of my old zines. I even have two hats left. Long story short I want to get some of this stuff out of here. So let’s have a sale! 

Starting today and going through the weekend everything in my store is 10% off. I realize that’s not very much, but honestly my stuff is cheap enough anyway. I am good at making things, terrible at making money on things so my margins are such that all the Sharks in the Shark Tank and that little dude from the Profit would yell at me for. Whatever. I haven’t run out of money quite yet.

The other news is that I found the 9″x”12 Instax prints for the Instaxxx book release parties that I threw in NYC and LA. I only have a couple left of each of the prints that haven’t sold out so they could sell out pretty fast. There’s a print of the Instax from the cover of the book (see below), one of Stoya in Vegas, Marz Lovejoy on her fire escape in Harlem, two friends of mine on my couch, Charlotte Stokely with a giant snake, my friend Ali flashing the J Train and Lil Brown Eyes floating on a watermelon. So many to choose from!

I also put the Bill Murray holding a puppy print back in my store. I had to take it down for a bit for a boring legal reason involving the charity I was fundraising for, so now 100% of the money goes to me and I will use it to buy hundred of Pogs off ebay (or pay off my AMEX). It’s 10% off during the sale and there are only 5 of those left so it seems like a good time to get one if that’s a thing you need in your life.

So go look at my shop and buy some stuff and I will ship it to you and use that money for things and you will have things and we will all win. Go team.

This is it! The last “lost” gallery! I have now gone through every photo I have taken up through June 2017 which means there are no more surprise galleries lurking out there! This one is of one of my favorite people Dahlia Sky. I met her at a party many years ago and then I finally took some photos of her at AVN with Samantha Bentley and then she ended up on my Christmas card at some point but we had never done a one on one shoot. 

I was out in LA at some point in 2016 and I went over to her apartment. Unfortunately I got there a bit late because LA and the light was pretty much all gone in her place. I had to break out my flash and I honestly hate the way that shit looks these days and so even though Dahlia is super pretty and real awesome I just didn’t really care for the photos so I guess I never posted them and then I just forgot about them and here we are.

I find myself apologizing for my work a lot, and I know I post a TON of photos I think are garbage, but I like making you guys happy and if I know anything about people who look at my work it’s that you guys can’t tell the difference between good photography and bad photography. Don’t take it personally, most people can’t and thanks to that I’ve had a successful career for the last decade. 

Anyway, yeah these photos are not good, BUT, Dahlia is attractive and naked so I know no one is complaining about it but me. Hopefully I will get to take better photos of her one day. Speaking of better photos, there are slightly more explicit photos of Dahlia on Girls of Driven By Boredom so you should go there if you like nudity and mediocre photography. I could use the money. Thanks. Now go look at photos.

I have been posting a ton of older sets recently, but today I decided to hit you guys up with my very newest shoot. Jane Wilde grew up in NYC but moved to LA to pursue her adult filmmaking dreams. She was visiting family when she Tweeted about needed a photographer to take photos of her in the city. She wanted do document her return to New York. Our mutual friend Sarah Vandella recommended me and two days later I had met Jane in Tompkins Square Park ready to take some photos.

We just walked all over the place shooting and traveled all the way across the city and spent a few hours taking advantage of NYC’s lax public nudity laws. It was a lot of fun and I shot a bunch of film too including a half of a roll of black and white film that turns out wasn’t loaded correctly because I am an idiot/ the worst thing about Leicas are how annoying they are to load. Still I am sure we got some nice film stuff because we got some nice digital stuff so it only makes sense. I guess I will find out tonight when I get my film back.

As happy as I am about a few of these shots, the best part about the whole shoot was that I get to title this post Wilde In The Streets which is a play on both one of my favorite movies and one of my favorite Circle Jerks songs. I had Wild In The Streets in my head pretty much the entire time we were shooting and guess what? It’s back in my head again. RUNNING RUNNING!

Anyway, my girlfriend is coming to visit tomorrow so I am gonna go get ready for her and I will leave you to these photos. I should probably mention they have been on Girls of Driven By Boredom in high resolution since yesterday and I should also mention that I probably won’t update while my girlfriend is in town because all I want to do is hang out with her in my bed and watch Netflix so you’ve been warned. Okay. Go look at some photos already.

Ps. If you are wondering what happened to the bottom half of Jane’s shirt, she spilled ice cream on it and I performed fashion surgery with my mailbox key.
