I still have four photoshoots I haven’t published from 2017. I don’t really have great excuses for why I haven’t published them yet, but two of those are coming right now. In October 2017 I went on a trip to Florida that didn’t go exactly as planned, but I still shot a bunch of stuff. I had to be in Miami for a Dolphins game, but I really wanted to check out the weirdness that is the Sausage Castle in Orlando and I had an idea. I had met Magdalene when we worked on a Gathering of the Juggalos story together for Brooklyn Vegan and we had done a photo shoot I really liked when she was visiting NYC. I knew she went to school near Tampa, FL and also really wanted to go to the Sausage Castle so I hit her up to see if she wanted to do a mini road trip together. I would fly to Tampa and then we would drive to the Sausage Castle and then down to Del Ray, FL where I have a few friends I wanted to see and take a ton of photos along the way. She was in.

Things got screwed up a bit on the way as it rained the whole drive from Tampa to Orlando so we couldn’t really do any of the road trip style shoots I normally do and she bailed on driving me to Del Ray which meant I had to take damn bus and then when I got to Del Ray one of my friend’s was in Tampa and another blew me off. Fortunately my third friend (who I run a non-profit with) was around and took me to dinner and we both went to Miami for the Dolphins game so it wasn’t really a big deal. Still I was kinda frustrated about the whole thing which is probably why I am not publishing these until now. But I am not great at holding a grudge and Magda is really hot so not only am I not pissed about it anymore but she lives in LA now so I am sure I will be bugging her to shoot again next time I am in LA.

Aaaaaannnyywaaay, the important thing here is the day before we drove to Orlando. I decided to stay in Clearwater, FL which is pretty near the Tampa airport and also home to the headquarters of Scientology which I absolutely had to visit. That shit was as crazy as you would imagine and there was security everywhere. It was great. Personally if I was running a cult I would try and make my headquarters look slightly less creepy, but maybe that’s why I don’t run a cult. 

So the first of the two shoots we did was in Clearwater, at my terrible motel picked specifically for it’s Florida man vibe. There was a Dolphin painted on my door. It was wonderful. We took photos at like midnight though so there was no natural light and if you know anything about me it’s that I can’t color balance for shit so that’s why these photos don’t get their own post. There are a few nice shots and Magda is a babe, but overall they aren’t that great.

The greatness happened at our next location (okay, these photos are terribly lit and color balanced too, but at least the location was amazing). When I landed in Tampa I had hours to kill before I met up with Magda so I let the internet know I was in town and looking for someone to photograph or something to do. One of my Instagram followers reached out and said they were the manager of a movie theater and I could shoot there if I did it after midnight. I figured that they managed a small art house theater but when I got there it was a massive multiplex. It was amazing.

As I mentioned the light was terrible and in some cases there was just way too little of it. God I wish I had the camera that I have now because that thing pretty much shoots in the dark. It wouldn’t have helped much as far as the mixed lighting and ugly overhead lights but it would have been amazing for the actual theaters where even with the house lights up it was way too dark. Even it most of the photos aren’t great the experience and a few of the shots I got made it so worth it. I also shot this little video thing which was pretty fun.

Okay, this post is way too long already but I need to plug the pay site again. If you want to see a full gallery of shots from our trip to the Sausage Castle you can find them on Girls of DBB exclusively (I posted the gallery a while ago so you need to scroll a bit). There are also some bonus fully nude photos of Magdalene from this shoot there. All in high res as per usual. And now for the free photos…
