I have known Stormy Leather for more than 15 years. That entire time she has been a professional naked person, and I have been a naked person documentarian, and somehow in all that time we had never done a proper nude photoshoot. That’s not to say I haven’t taken her photo naked. Stormy was a regular burlesque performer at Trash, my favorite party in NYC for many years, and I have photographed her on stage, backstage and everywhere else, but I am not sure I have seen her a single time outside of a nightclub or a post club diner at 4:30am. 

That all changed recently. I have spent the last year or two updating a party photo throwback Instagram account called VintageDBB and I have reconnected with a ton of my old nightlife friends in the process. Since I have one million photos of Stormy, she was of course one of them. Back in  September I was in New York, scrolling through Instagram, and I saw this photo of Stormy. She was nude on her bed, with almost no makeup on, and I just loved it. I think one of the reasons I didn’t photograph Stormy back then, is because burlesque is so over the top I never really think to photograph burlesque performers. I am always trying to capture something that feels real, and burlesque is a fantasy, it’s the opposite of that. But this photo of Stormy felt real and vulnerable and I messaged her about taking photos for old times sake and she was down, but there was a catch.

Stormy lives a very fancy life and she was staying out on Fire Island, so if I wanted to take her photo I had to head out there. On the plus side, if I did make it all the way out there, I would have a pretty phenomenal location to photograph her in. I was in. Somehow in the two decades I lived in NYC I had never been to Fire Island and honestly I now regret it. That place is incredible. It feels like a movie set or something, just with more naked gay dudes. It’s honestly the first time I have been upset I was straight. Seems like paradise if you happen to be a wealthy gay New Yorker. 

Anyway, I spent the next few hours basically hanging out by the pool and petting Stormy’s dogs. It was pretty great. The only bad thing was that it was so bright out that the shadows were so harsh and she was squinting even in sunglasses. I wish I had brought a flash because a daylight flash would have helped a ton, but I didn’t think I was gonna need one when I left for NY. Still, Stormy is such a babe and the scenery was so good, that I don’t think anyone is going to care that I am an unprepared, mediocre photographer who sucks at PhotoShop. Damn, let me live. 

After we shot outside for a while we went back to Stormy’s bed so I could basically rip off a photo that she had already taken. I am glad I did because those are by far my favorite shots of the day, the 35mm ones came out even better. They also happen to be the only safe for work shots we shot, which is why there aren’t any pool photos below. You are gonna have to subscribe to Girls of DBB for those. Sorry!

This post is too long already, and I am headed to DC for Thanksgiving tomorrow and I got a ton of stuff to do before I leave, so I will let you go, but I do have a bit of an update for those of you who made it this far. A couple of days ago I had a meeting with a web designer who is going to be redoing this site. It hasn’t had a real update since 2008, and is barely functional, as you know. With Bitcoin spiking I finally sold some of the stuff that I bought in 2017 and am going to use the money to pay for the redesign. I feel like this site is basically a vanity project at this point since no one reads blogs anymore, but it’s gonna make stuff so much better around here and I can’t wait.

Okay, that’s enough of that. Let’s go look at some photos.

Everyone loves Sammy so I know you guys will be excited to see more of her. We have been taking photos together for nine years now, which is absolutely insane to think about. Sammy and I used to be neighbors and whenever I wanted to finish a roll of film, I would text her and see if she wanted to shoot. She’d just come down stairs and we would walk around the neighborhood and take some photos. It was a nice tradition. We have done a few proper shoots but the update that best expresses our work together is this collection of 35mm photos we shot in the streets: Sammy In The Neighborhood 

So recently when I was back in NYC I hit her up because I needed to finish a couple of rolls of film. She was down and I met her in the Lower East Side because it was on the way from Brooklyn to the East Village where I needed to drop off film. She came out in lingerie under her outfit and we went to work. We caused scenes in a crosswalk, took photos in bodegas and even chased some pigeons. We finished two rolls of color and ended up shooting nearly an entire roll of black and white.

But that’s where tragedy struck. I hadn’t loaded the film correctly and the whole roll of black and white was shot on a single frame of film. We were both heartbroken. Fortunately we got a lot of great stuff anyway. None of it has actual nudity, but it’s NSFW enough that I had to paywall it. Sorry about that, but there are some photos down below, and some more on my Instagram so check that out if you don’t want to sign up for Girls of DBB. But like, you should sign up for it, because there are a ton of older photos of her there and tens of thousands of other NSFW photos for one low price.

Welcome to another day of my 2024 Gathering of the Juggalos coverage. Today we got some nightlife photos or something. Basically everyday I would go down to the Gathering around 5pm and shoot until it got dark. Once it was too dark to shoot without a flash I would walk back to my rental car, drop off whatever 35mm camera I had with me and pick up my flash and head back down.

The problem is I hate shooting with flash these days. It’s weird, I used to shoot everything with flash, even portraits, but I am so over it. I just hate the way flash looks these days and it’s so pitch black at the Gathering that the focus assist light is super fucking annoying for everyone. You add to that the fact that I am old and tired and didn’t want to stay up until 4am every night I didn’t shoot a ton of late night photos, that being said I did shoot SOME stuff at night. 

The first night was the only night I stayed up late because on night two I was so fucking tired, night three the battery door on my flash broke (luckily I had an extra door) and on night four I left early. But night one was pretty good. I shot two events in this red circus tent and I fucking HATE the light in there. In the day it’s worse but even at night with a flash it’s so red because the flash bounces off the red roof. I said fuck it and just made every one of those photos black and white. 

The first night one event was the Queen of Cheeks which was an ass contest, seriously. Last year was the first year they had it and the photos I took were so fucking insane I had to come back. This year’s was slightly more sedate, but still VERY NSFW. There was a ring toss and a butt cheek Faygo carrying contest and god knows what else. Of course I had to paywall most of this stuff. I included some safe for work images, but 90% of it was too NSFW for this site. You can see everything, plus all my other NSFW content, on Girls of Driven By Boredom. I also uploaded a pretty tame video to the same site. I made it just $3 which is the lowest I am allowed to charge, and made it free to subscribers. 

After the Queen of Cheeks ended the Chapter 17 Records party took place. My buddy Kev Buc was DJing for some of it, and Ouija Macc was there and some other musicians and stuff. It was pretty fun. Lots of cute juggalettes were hanging out including the adult film start Kazumi who put a butt plug in live on stage which resulted in some pretty great photos I wish I could show you but of course I can’t because once again we live in a society created by and governed by religious extremists. They are of course available on Girls of Driven By Boredom.

The other night I stayed out at all past midnight was the second night because my old pal Zac Amico was doing stand up. I was glad to see him but I was kinda afraid his stand up was gonna be some edgelord bullshit trying to be offensive because I know he does a lot of roast battles and he seems to hang with a bunch of comedians who complain about people being woke all the time. I was pleasantly surprised to see that while his set had some edge to it, it was mostly just storytelling and he told a few interesting and genuinely funny stories before I had to bounce so I could actually get some sleep after getting six hours total in the last 48. Someone opened for him and I forget his name and I feel like a dick for that but I know he was from Chicago and friends with my Gathering of the Juggalos pal wrestler Colt Cabana, cause I ran into Colt there.

Okay, so yeah, I didn’t go out on night two, but there are plenty of crowd shots in here too. Some of my favorites were taken at the end of ICP’s Thursday night set where I photographed everyone who was coming off stage. ICP does this “Faygo Armageddon” thing where they bring up about 100 people on stage to throw Faygo everywhere. I have actually done it twice myself and it is so god damn fun. Truly joyful. But yeah, soaked people are fun to photograph so got a lot of that stuff. 

Yeah, I don’t think there’s anything else worth mentioning, just go check out the gallery and I will be back tomorrow with even more NSFW stuff and we will wrap everything up on Monday. See you soon.

As I mentioned in my last post, we got plenty of NSFW for you this year. I just get a surprisingly large amount of emails from people who want juggalette content and I want to deliver despite how much of a creep I feel sometimes shooting this stuff. I like to think of myself as some sort of journalist, and here we are photographing juggalettes shooting fireworks out of their… look, I am trying my best here.

I shot three NSFW events but the one I shot by far the most photos of was the Miss Juggalette pageant. I think I took over 400 of them plus some video and it was a pretty wild event. My old friend Zac Amico was one of the judges (along with Big Jay Oakerson, Angela Mazzanti and a 4th judge I feel terrible that I don’t know the name of) and I told him that Miss Juggalette can be really boring or completely insane and I was right. It was both.

The event started out pretty slowly with a ton of contestants and everyone just answering Clownvis’ random questions about themselves, but once the talent part of the contest started it got deeply weird. Some of the talents involved singing which didn’t go over well (except the opera singer!) and the three people who did balloon animals were not everyone’s cup of tea, but then there was a girl who did a dance routine that was “interrupted” by her getting a bucket of blood thrown on her (which caused every contestant to slip and slide around the stage and attracted dozens of bees). After that things got weirder and weirder, you had a graphic strip routine by Tat2Barbie, a woman who sat on a 2 liter of Faygo, a juggalette who was just slapping people and of course our fireworks shooting friend. 

The swimsuit contest was just an excuse for nearly everyone to get naked and it just devolved from there. The contest ended with everyone just dancing on stage in various states of undress. The crowd was pretty pumped. 

In the end Tat2Barbie won and cried and I got such a great shot of her, but I can’t post it on here cause we live in a puritanical nightmare, but you can check it out on my paywalled site of course. 

Speaking of the paywall situation, this gallery has 50 safe for work images. The actual gallery has nearly 200!! So that means there are 150 photos I shot that are too NSFW to post on here. I also posted a video of the event that is free if you are a member (or $5 if you aren’t). It’s only a minute long because I was shooting photos, but it’s pretty crazy. 

By the way, if you were in the contest, and want your photos, reach out to me on Instagram or Twitter and I will send you your photos. I would say email, but I don’t trust you motherfuckers, I need proof it’s you.

When I was in Vegas for the AVN Awards I found a staircase in a parking garage I really wanted to photograph someone naked on. I spent two days trying to make that happen but people were busy and it was a long walk in heels. I ran into my friend Dylan Moore (who you can see more of here) at the ALF party and we talked about shooting again, so when I ran into her as the tradeshow was ending the next day I asked her if she wanted to hit that stairwell, and we did it.

But after that we decided to go back to her hotel to take even more photos. I couldn’t stay long but we took a bunch of fun photos that you are hopefully about to look at. She did splits on furniture, she jumped off of TV stands (she moved the TV), she changed twice and I just captured the madness. I honestly barely got out of the chair and she did all the work which is honestly my favorite type of shoot. Sometimes when I am shooting in a hotel room after shooting other shit all day, I just want to lay down and try and find reasons to shoot from the hotel bed. Yes I am that lazy, but also it makes butts look good so everyone wins.

Also, I haven’t shot any nudes since this Vegas trip. It sucks. I don’t know what to shoot in North Carolina and I went to NYC on the weekend before 4th of July and everyone was out of town. I need to get back to LA soon just to shoot (and see my newborn niece) but in the meantime I am just stretching out the NSFW content I do have. I still have one more shoot to go, and it’s a good one. But it’s also of Dylan from the first time we shot. So I need to find at least one more shoot to post before I post those right? So if anyone knows any naked people within two hours of Wilmington, NC, let a guy know. I am not ready to retire quite yet.

As per usual, all these photos are gonna be on my pay site, Girls of Driven By Boredom. I realize I just told you that I won’t have anything new for a bit, but I am gonna start reuploading old shoots there in high res, but there are also tens of thousands of nudes on there already so sign up. Thanks!

Hello! I am back with some “new” pictures that I took back in January during the AVN Awards week. I am settling nicely into my new North Carolina life but between the move and getting the new place together I really haven’t taken very many photos. It’s a super weird experience for me but I have recently come into some dumb crypto money so my priority has been on getting used to my move and not working, but that’s not really a long term situation so hopefully I’ll get back to traveling and taking wild photos and all that shit. Meanwhile, I have some photos of my old pal Heidi V and her friend Nova Hawthorne. 

I met Heidi years ago and we have taken photos a few times now and she’s always an awkward joy to photograph. She’s very fun and for the second time brought me a pretty friend to take photos with as well. Nova Hawthorne was staying with Heidi during the AVNs so one day I went up to their room to take photos. The light sucked so we pulled out one of their webcam lights and made it work. They are pretty bad technically because that’s kinda my thing, but you can tell the girls are having a blast and capturing actual fun is also kinda my thing.

All the photos below are very cute, but there are also some pretty sexy photos as well, but you gotta go to Girls of Driven By Boredom for those. Sorry but those are the rules. Anyway, I am gonna get back organizing my office, watering all my plants, feeding my fish and whatever else I do in my new weird life.

Last summer I photographed Jade Baker for the half dozenth time. I love taking her photo and when she told me she was staying at the Chelsea Hotel I got over there as quickly as possible. We shot a ton of photos and I was really happy with them and was ready to put them up, but she then was going through a rebrand to “Rosie Jones” so I waited to upload them for a couple of weeks.

By the time she had announced her new name I got the 35mm back and I loved it, so I abandoned the digitals and I uploaded the film photos with the announcement about her new name. So months go by, I get busy, I upload other stuff, I plan a move, I move, I spend a month unpacking and during all of this I end up completely forgetting about these digital photos and they just languished on my hard drive until now!

So we have a ton of really fun photos of Jade, who is once again going by Jade, in an absolutely iconic location that I am so glad I got to photograph in before I moved. It wouldn’t have felt right.

On some quick housekeeping notes, I have now been living in Wilmington, NC for five weeks and I still don’t have my office fully set up, but the last piece of office furniture is being delivered today and then I will get my printers and my postage scale and all that boring shit set up so I can start shipping stuff again. A lot of my merch is still hard to get to at the moment as my closet is just full of garbage but by next week I should be ready to go. You can stuff order now, and it should ship early next week. 

Also, these photos of Jade and the 35mm version of this shoot and hundreds of other shoots are all available on Girls of DBB. I don’t have an OnlyFans anymore so that is the only place to get my NSFW content. I am not really working right now as I get my life together, so signing up for that site helps me a ton. It’s pretty cheap, especially if you sign up for a few months at a time.

Okay, this post was supposed to go up in January. I had it all ready to go and then I just ran out of time before I went to the AVN Awards. And then when I was in Vegas I ran into Dylan again and we did this mini shoot in a parking garage that I posted in my last update and so I didn’t want to post her back to back but then this move happened and I have been swamped and don’t have a working office and long story short I just needed to get something up and this was the next in line. As I mention below, we did a second shoot on the same day as this one, but we also did a third shoot in Vegas that is probably great but honestly I haven’t even looked at the photos because my life has been a mess since I got back. Give me two more weeks an I should be back in business. My desk comes this week so that’s a start… anyway, here is your post from January:

Back in October a model named Dylan Moore reached out to me. She was coming to NYC and wanted to shoot. We had a mutual friend who connected us but she apparently followed me back in the Tumblr days. I was down of course and I showed up at her hotel and we did a pretty quick shoot on the bed in her I <3 NY shirt.

When we were done shooting in the hotel room we went out on the balcony area and took a few more photos. She seemed comfortable with public nudity but I didn’t want to get her kicked out of her hotel room. I did have an idea… I had wanted to shoot at this secret spot in my neighborhood since I found it in 2016 but for whatever reason I had never done it. I also had a second spot in mind but you had to be crazy to do it. Dylan was down for both and we got on the train and headed to Brooklyn… but that’s for another post….

Anyway, Dylan is a great model and she really liked the photos we took so I hope we get to shoot again soon (Spoiler alert: we did). Honestly I don’t have a ton more to say because I have a whole second part to this day and I am about to head to Vegas for the AVN Awards and I want to get this up before I leave (Editor’s note: lol). 

All these photos are paywalled cause that is the world we live in now, so the link below will take you to Girls of Driven By Boredom which has probably over 100k photos on it so you might as well sign up for decades worth of NSFW photos. 

Now click here to see all the photos of Dylan Moore.

Back when the AVN Awards were at the Hard Rock Hotel I did so many mini photo shoots on the parking deck roof or in my rental car in the parking lot or wherever I could find a place to spend five minutes shooting photos with a model when she had a quick break from signing autographs or partying or whatever else people do in Vegas during a porn convention. The AVNs recently have moved to Resort World and I didn’t know any of the good hiding spots yet, but when I parked my rental car near a stairwell I realized it was the perfect place to shoot. 

I tried to shoot several people in that stairwell but it was in a lot that was adjacent to the hotel and you had to go outside to get there which means a) they had to go outside in the cold wearing skimpy clothing b) they had a ten minute round trip walk in high heels. So pretty much everyone flaked, which happens at lot at AVN anyway.

On Friday night I ran into Dylan Moore, who I recently shot in New York. (I have two NYC shoots with her to publish already.) The convention was about to end when I ran into her and she mentioned she had a hotel with a great room we could shoot in, so we drove over there, but before we did, I finally got to shoot someone in that stairwell because I had once again parked my rental car right next to it. Dylan immediately hung herself over the 4th floor railing which scared the absolute shit out of me given that I once was sued by Larry Flynt and an Instagram famous douchebag over a girl breaking her foot “falling” off a roof on a shoot I did for Hustler. Once I got her to stop that we shot a bunch of film and Instax and didn’t really shoot much digital, but I still have a handful of photos for you. (Plus a full hotel shoot with her still to come.)

One of the people I talked to about shooting in that stairwell was a model I met at the convention named Michelle Masque. I had tried to shoot her during the day on Friday and it didn’t happen so on Saturday when we finally met up I figured we could just go to the main parking garage and shoot on the roof. The problem was it was so bright out and the shadows were so harsh. I took some daylight flash stuff with my point and shoot 35mm camera so that might end up being cool, but a lot of the stuff we shot was pretty harsh. Still, we got some nice stuff I think. Plus she got to try on an outfit she had just bought and found out it was a little too big, so she was able to return it right after the shoot and so it worked out for everyone.

Shortly after my shoot with Michelle I went to the hotel Starbucks to get a coffee and I ran into my buddy CJ and his wife Sania Mallory who I really wanted to photograph. They were just going home so I said why don’t we do something quick on the parking garage before they bounced. Fortunately, in just the half hour between my shoot with Michelle and my shoot with Sania, the sun had gone down enough and the light was absolutely perfect. I photographed her and her and then her and CJ together and then I ended up shooting her with this dude Tiny Smallz who was staying with them. And then finally I shot them all with their other friend David for a nice family portrait.

Lastly, a few hours later I ran into my old pal Goldie Fawn. She was one half of what was maybe my favorite AVN shoot of all time and is in my new zine Off The Hook. I don’t think I seen her since we shot back in 2018, and I really wanted to take her photo this year but it hadn’t happened yet. Fortunately when I ran into her in the hotel lobby she had just finished walking the AVN red carpet and she had a few minutes before she had to go back into the awards show, so once again we went to the parking garage. I had to get some cameras out of my rental car so we ended up just shooting her on my rental car in her incredible gold red carpet dress. This shoot was so quick and we got so many fun shots. Goldie rules and I am so glad we got to do this quick shoot right only an hour before I went to the airport to head back home. 

Lastly, before I leave you with links, I should mention that my book Instaxxx which has NSFW instant film photos from hundreds of photo shoots is on sale right now. I am moving at the end of the month and trying to get rid of some stuff before I go. It’s 25% off right now. Just saying. 

Okay, so a bunch of these photos are tame enough to post on Flicker but like, it doesn’t make a great gallery so I am pay walling everything. Sorry. All these photos are exclusive to Girls of Driven By Boredom, but just a reminder that there are tens of thousands of high res nude photos on there all for one low price, so like, get it together and throw in a few $ and go look at the 100 parking lot photos and then go look at everything I have shot for decades.
