2022 NFL Draft

I have no idea why I go to the NFL Draft nearly every year. It’s a complete mystery. I don’t watch college football so I don’t know who any of the players are and yet I have gone to 10 out of the last 15 Drafts. One of those Drafts was a virtual Draft and I actually was shown on TV via Zoom for that one so I think that actually makes it 11 out of 15.

It all started as a marketing decision. As you may know I run the world’s largest Miami Dolphins fan club, but it didn’t start out that way. Back in 2008 we didn’t even exist yet, we had a small group of Dolphins fans that watched together but we were hoping to find more. The Dolphins had the first pick in the NFL Draft and back then the Draft was in New York every year so we figured it would be a fun experience and maybe we could find some new local Dolphins fans. By 2009 our crew had grown bigger and just before the Draft my business partner Michelle and I set up social media accounts for a new “official” NYC Dolphins fan club called Dolfans NYC. We hadn’t watched a game as Dolfans NYC yet, but we were building. We made flyers and brought them to the Draft to hand out to every Dolphins fan we could find. It was great outreach. 

After that we went to every NFL Draft in NYC using it to try and get on TV, not for the “fame” but so that Dolphins fans at home watching might realize that there was a club of Dolphins fans in NYC and maybe they should type Dolfans NYC into google and try and find us. Our group got bigger and bigger every year. One year a cop stopped me at the Draft and I thought I had done something wrong. Turns out he just wanted to know where he could get a new Dolfans NYC shirt because his old one got damaged in the wash.  

In 2015 the NFL Draft left New York and for the next three years there was no Dolfans NYC representative at the Draft, but in 2018 the NFL introduced something called the “Inner Circle” where a handful of die hard fans from each team would be sat in special seats near the stage where cameras could film them whenever that team would draft a player. The idea was that it would give the team’s biggest fans a great experience while also giving the NFL great footage to use on TV. The Draft was in Dallas that year and half my family lives there so I had a place to stay and Dolfans NYC had a bunch of airline miles so I flew to Dallas, put on as much Dolfans NYC merch as possible and did whatever I could do get Dolfans NYC on TV. I missed the 2019 Draft, but I got on TV for the 2020 virtual Draft. In 2021 I got a chance to go to Cleveland for the Draft. Everyone had to be vaccinated and wear a mask and there were only 12 people allowed per team, but it was still a great experience and I ended up getting interviewed by Slate which was very weird. 

In 2022 the Dolphins managed to trade almost all of their picks to Kansas City and only had one pick during the first two days of the Draft. I probably wouldn’t have gone but unfortunately I booked my ticket to Vegas about a week before the trade so I was kinda stuck. When the Dolphins traded their first round pick I decided not to go to the first day of the Draft and spend it with my girlfriend who had never been to Vegas.

On Day 2 I went down to the Draft a bit early to check out the NFL Experience which features a bunch of different NFL related activations. There are some autograph signings and games where you do football skills and you could see the Vince Lombardi trophy and all the Super Bowl rings. I feel like it would be really fun for a family, but maybe not so much for a middle aged punk rock dude with a herniated disc and torn hip. It’s also pretty much the same stuff as was in Cleveland last year. 

The Draft itself was very Vegas with a bunch of celebrities and Raiders cheerleaders and for some reason Criss Angel.  The famous faces were a good mix of old and new, plus a lot of legendary players. Barry Sanders was a crowd favorite. The older crowd around me were pumped about Donny Osmond but had no idea who MERO (shout out PPP) or Sean Evans were and I am sure the kids there were really happy to see FaZe Rug, Dr. DisRespect and the TikTok duo who I didn’t even recognize. The Dolphins Draft choice was called out by the legendary Larry Csonka who I didn’t photograph because I was too busy cheering for him.  It worked, and once again Dolfans NYC got on the broadcast.

Okay this post is almost 1000 words already and most of you don’t care at all about this so let’s get to the photos, but I do want to mention that I was mostly hanging out and I didn’t have a press pass or anything so I couldn’t bring a long lens so obviously these photos aren’t of the quality they would be if I was actually covering this for work. Still, I hope you enjoy them.

Chloe Metcalfe & Other News

It’s been a minute since I updated and before I get to some pictures I just wanted to do an old school blog and just update you guys on my life and some stuff in the future and all that. 

First of all, let’s talk about my back. As you may know I injured myself last September. I herniated a disc and there’s not really much you can do for that other than physical therapy so I did three months of that. At the same time I got a series of steroid shots to help the pain and for a few weeks here and there I was able to walk for more than a few blocks. Shortly before Christmas I got an epidural and that really helped for about a month, but it also happened to be the same time as I got Covid. I was fine but it cancelled Christmas so after I got better I went and visited my family. So I missed  weeks of PT in the process. The other thing that was happening was that even though my back was better from the shot, I was still feeling pain in my hip. Originally they though my hip was just hurting because of my back but I finally got an MRI and it turned out that I had a labral tear and some other small things wrong with my hip. Luckily there is a more specific treatment plan for that and I started physical therapy again after taking a few months off. I also got a shot in my hip which helped a bit and finally another epidural in my spine yesterday. My hope is that during the next month or so while the pain is bearable I can do a lot to strengthen my hip and my core so I can function once the pain meds run their course. 

Now, the reason I was waiting to get another epidural was so that I could time it with a trip to LA. My brother had his first child and I am very pumped to be an uncle. I am going to meet my nephew Tommy Smith on Sunday. Normally when I go to LA I shoot a ton while I am there but this trip is a bit different. Not only will I be spending time with my family (my parents are there for the first 5 days too) but my girlfriend is coming with me and it’s her vacation and she’s never been to LA so we gotta do a bunch of fun touristy stuff… mostly eating and going to the beach I think. My hope is that I can get a couple of shoots done as well while I am there but who knows what I am going to have time for. We are also going to Palm Springs and the Salton Sea which should make for some good photos. After that we are headed to Vegas and I am going to one day of the NFL Draft and will shoot a bunch of photos there which I don’t think you care about but you never know. The draft is the 29th-31st of April so expect my next update on here around the first of the month. 

In other news my NFT collection Same Old City has almost sold out. Of the 20 photos, 19 of them are gone. I don’t know how many people here care about NFTs but if you do I am airdropping everyone a photo once the collection finally does sell out so might be a good opportunity to get two NFTs for the price of one. My other NFT collection, Juggalos, hasn’t done quite a well. Unlike Same Old City, I don’t think the juggalos appeal to an international audience. I have still sold a bunch of them and will slowly be releasing more over time but they are very affordable and there’s a lot of great shots left. And lastly on the NFT front I contributed some photos to a collection of found slides called Carousel Curated. There are so many amazing photos in this, so if nothing else take a minute to look through them.

And now for the nudes…

A while ago I posted these photos of Chloe Metcalfe and Faith Irving. People seemed to love them. The plan originally was to shoot them during the day but then Faith got really bored the day before and so her and I met up to do some public nudity stuff, but then it started raining so we went back to the hotel and Chloe was there so we all shot and you got the photos you saw last time. 

Well Chloe wanted her own photos and of course I obliged. I came back to the hotel the next day and we shot a bunch. Faith was doing some other shit so she couldn’t shoot, but she did make a little cameo in the background. I have a feeling you will spot it. 

If you wanna see these photos in higher res and with a few extras head on over to Girls of DBB. These pics have been up there already for a few days. I also have some BTS video from this shoot on my OnlyFans too including a video I am going to upload as soon as I hit send on this post. 

Okay there’s a nice long update with a bunch of photos. Enjoy! See you guys at the end of the month!

Charlotte Sartre Returns

Almost a year ago I was in Las Vegas, basically just out there to photograph people, but the people I had lined up totally flaked on me and I ended up only doing two shoots in three days. Those two shoots were with two of my favorite models ever, who of course didn’t flake. I have already uploaded the photos of Heather Vahn, and today you get the first ever photos taken of Charlotte Sartre’s new boobs. I realize that it’s way too late for it to be exiting, but god dammit, it’s still historic. 

Before we do anything else, I wanted to let you know that there is a video on my OnlyFans right now of here taking the bandages off. It’s honestly not nearly as gross as it sounds and it’s kinda ASMRy with the vibe of one of those “strangely satisfying” videos where people pull off the protective covers on screens. 

Now the reason this is so late is two fold, the first is that because of my back injury I haven’t really been shooting and I honestly I have just run out of stuff to post so I am stretching everything out. I do have one upcoming shoot planned, but if you know anyone I should take photos of in NYC which requires me to move as little as possible let me know. The other reason this is late is because I had this idea that we would do her boob reveal as an NFT. So you would buy the NFT and get access to the photos and videos before anyone else. But a few days before we took these photos the crypto market crashed and the NFT market followed and it didn’t seem like a good time. By the time things picked up again she had already posted the videos to her OF and I had decided I wanted my juggalos to be my first photo NFTs

I should also mention that these photos have been on Girls of DBB for a week now. The photos over there are in high res and have a number of exclusive more explicit shots. Both Girls of DBB and my OnlyFans are so cheap that they seem very worth it. I wish I could just combine them, but whatever, they gotta be in two places for now. Sign up to them both for the most DBB points. 

Okay, now click here to see the first ever photos of Charlotte Sartre’s new boobs!

Heather Vahn Sculpts

Heather Vahn is one of my favorite people. Like honestly I can’t explain how great she is, but she also looks really great naked so she happens to be wonderful to photograph too. It’s honestly a great deal for me as someone who likes nice people and hot people. She’s just a good friend to have like that. She also is a fish keeper which I deeply appreciate. You can see her incredible Flowerhorn at the end of this gallery, but I don’t think you need me to talk about my love cichlids right now do you?

One of my favorite things to do on a photo shoot is just to tell the model to do whatever she would do normally, just maybe do it with less clothes. When I was in Vegas and met up with Heather she was about to sculpt some shit so I said, let’s do that. That sounds amazing. She threw on a Versace robe that probably cost about as much as my rent and started sculpting while I took photos. Her sculpture is honestly impressive and I probably should have taken some photos of it so you could see the final product but I failed at that.

As the light was going down we went on her incredible balcony and took some more photos out there. I decided to save those as exclusive photos just for Girls of DBB so if you want to see a whole bonus shoot on her balcony you gotta sign up for Girls of DBB.

After the light really went down we turned on the light she uses to sculpt with and I shot her with really harsh light that actually made for some great shots. She also happened to be naked at that point so you will probably enjoy those. She didn’t finish the sculpture while I was with her but we did film some videos of her making it that you might dig. I put them on my OnlyFans slowly over the last few months but today I uploaded a full video of her sculpting instructional. It’s pretty great but we never really ended the video. I hit her up to see if she could send me a finished clip for it but she’s out of town so you are just gonna have to imagine. 

Oh and at the end of this shoot she showed me her fish, so you can enjoy that too if you are some sort of aquarium nerd like I am, even if not, it’s probably cool to see nudes lit only with an aquarium light?

Same Old City

When I first found out about NFTs, almost exactly a year ago, there was almost no photography NFTs being sold. I remember being excited when JN Silva did a drop on Nifty Gateway but it was animated like a lot of the early NFTs. I heard about this guy Justin Aversano doing a project called Twin Flames but other than those two guys, I didn’t see any successful photography projects. In fact, the first NFT I ever made was an animated gif of the logo of this website for our 20th anniversary. I have a weird love for that thing actually, it instantly takes me back to the excitement of first learning about this stuff. 

When I started thinking about what I was going to do for my first photography drop I started coming up with ideas for an animated photo. I spent a long time learning how to do really basic keyframe animation in Photoshop and I spent honestly too much money buying some sound gear and paying an engineer friend of mine to fix the sound I recorded for it, but by the time I was going to release it there was a huge crypto crash in April and it just didn’t seem like a good time. I was going to hold off and wait for my moment. 

That moment came, but not for the animated photos. A few months later Justin’s Twin Flames project had exploded and with it a small NFT photography scene began to rise. Collections of 1/1 photographs started popping up and a lot of them started to do well. Aside from Twin Flames, most of the work was of landscapes and nature. I was excited about this photography movement but not about a lot of the work, it was good, but just not what I was into. I released my collection of juggalo NFTs, which haven’t done great to be honest. I have sold a handful of them, and will keep working on that series slowly over the next year or two, but they were “lazy minted” on OpenSea and I am not going to get into a conversation about specific types of non fungible tokens and contracts, but let’s just say they were less than desirable to some collectors. 

As I was releasing juggalos, there still wasn’t much documentary work that seemed to be doing well, but some street photography did begin to rise. I started seeing work by Monaris, and Billy Dinh, and Dave Krugman and Michelle Viljoen and I was so excited to see this stuff do well. Suddenly photography I liked was blowing up. 

When NFTs first started I made a list of ideas for NFT releases, most of it was zines and books I had already made, along with zines and books I had in my head for the future. When street photography started blowing up I started thinking about my zine Same Old City. SOC isn’t exactly a street photography zine, but it is a collection of images from my first decade living in NYC. It started out as a street photography show called These New York Streets back in 2012. After that it became the zine Same Old City in 2015. It sold out almost immediately and in 2018 I updated it with new photography. That sold out as well. 

So a couple of months ago I started work on this NFT collection. I pulled my favorite shots from the zine into a folder and then just sort of put it on the back burner. There we plenty of excuses for not doing it, but I was going to get to it eventually, I swear.

That’s when Fellowship Trust reached out to me. They had seen some of my work and they “saw potential”. They asked me if I had a collection in the works and I showed them some shots from Same Old City. They immediately  wanted to give me one of their “Futures” grants where they would pay for me to mint my collection on Foundation, which is very expensive. They would also buy 4 of the photos from the collection after it was minted. This meant I had the resources to do the collection the way it was meant to be and I got to work right away. 

Along with the best shots from Same Old City, I went through 15 years of 35mm photography pulling only my favorite shots for this collection. It took me days, but I finally had an edit of about 75 photos. I did my first edit where I pulled 18 photos. I wanted the collection to be somewhere around 20 photos so I had to edit the the other nearly 60 photos down significantly. I think of the original 18, 15 of those made the collection, the rest were incredibly difficult to figure out. I talked to several people about it and did a long phone call with a photographer named Wim VanCappellen who helped curate WHO WE ARE, a group NFT collection (both mine sold on the first day!). Wim was so helpful because he saw my work the same way I did but he was removed from it. He helped me tell the story about New York City I wanted to tell. We made choices that didn’t ultimately have the best 20 photos in it, but the best 20 images to tell that story.

One of the other people I showed the collection to early, was a collector named Jeff Excell. I reached out to him early because I love his collection. The work he loves, I love. I wanted to get his feedback and he told me he was going to let me know if he didn’t like it. Turns out he loved it. He offered me quite a bit of money to sell him one of the photos before it even went on sale which meant so damn much to me and got me so excited to release this to the world. 

So one more question I wanted to answer: Why another street photography collection? Well, it’s because as much as I love the other street photographers I had seen do well, their New York’s just didn’t look like my New York. They were digital, heavily processed images, mostly of Manhattan. They were great, but didn’t tell my story. As I was working on it Omar Robles released a collection called The City which was a lot more raw and when I saw that do well I got really excited. Then even more recently a collection called Enough by Laurent Chevalier came out and was even more raw. Laurent’s work told the story of the black experience in NYC in gritty black and white. It’s fantastic work, but again, it’s not my New York story. I felt Same Old City still had a place. That story still needed to be told. 

So after all that I will just say that Same Old City comes out tomorrow and I haven’t been this excited about a photography project in a long time. Probably since my last book release in 2017. I am just so amped about it. This work is not priced cheap, prices start at .35 ETH which is over $1000, but Foundation is very expensive to mint on, takes a large cut and I am going to pay as many of the people in the images as I can find. I want to keep my work as accessible as possible, but I think this work is priced fairly. There will also be an additional NFT airdropped if this project sells out. It’s a great shot that didn’t quite fit the project, but works well as a stand alone image, but we will keep that a secret for now. 

Now with all that being said, please check out Same Old City on Foundation. This collection was designed to be viewed with four columns, so if you get a chance to look at it on desktop it will look much better. I can’t tell you how long it took me to sequence the collection. Thanks!

Faith Irving & Chloe Metcalfe

When I was in LA in the spring I was hanging out at my friend Kirill’s place when I met a topless woman named Chloe Metcalfe. She had a pretty rad dog I was playing with and a few months later when she was in NYC she hit me up to take photos of her and her friend Faith Irving.

Faith hit me up and told me to meet her at Urban Outfitters because she wanted to shoot some nudes in public before we met up with Chloe to shoot at the hotel. I was down but apparently the Urban Outfitters on 14th and 6th no longer exists so I went to the wrong place. By the time I met her and she finished shopping it was raining and we said fuck it and just went back to the hotel. Because of the rain it was too dark to shoot with just the daylight but we made it work with a mix of the hotel light and outside. 

While Chloe got ready Faith and I took some photos in the room and then Chloe jumped in for some shots and then I shot Chloe and then eventually we went outside for a bit and I took some topless photos of them ordering and eating hot dogs from a street cart. None of those photos are in this gallery, but there is a video of it on my OnlyFans I think. Honestly I don’t remember which videos I posted there already, but if it’s not already up I will post it right after I finish this so it will exist. Either way there will be some video from this shoot up there today. And while I am promoting pay sites, Girls of DBB had these pictures up yesterday and in high resolution. 

So anyway, the next day I went back because we were gonna shoot on the subway but some drama happened and Faith couldn’t shoot but I took some photos of Chloe in the hotel room with the good light. Those photos will be posted here eventually but for now you just get the first two shoots and it’s over 50 photos so don’t give me a hard time.   Okay that’s it. Go look at some n00dz.

Wonder Fair @ WAGMIAMI

I hit up my friend Krystall Schott when I was in Miami for Art Basel to photograph her for this grant I got to photograph people in the NFT world. She’s an artist, a musician and an event coordinator and as a former model, she is super photogenic. I had to shoot her for this project. She was crazy busy in Miami working on this NFT art show that she didn’t have a ton of time to shoot so I went to a place called Factory Town where she was setting up to photograph her right before the sun went down. (More on that when the project comes out.) Anyway while we were setting up this shoot she asked me to take photos at it. I was gonna go to the event anyway and my hurt back was feeling pretty good so I was totally down.

Okay, let’s start by saying it’s VERY complicated to explain what this event is. WAGMIAMI was a series of events inside a larger event that was actually part of a different event. The specific NFT gallery part of the event was actually the VIP area for a larger event but also that section changed every night. That VIP NFT gallery was curated by Trippy Presents but then Wonder Fair was inside of that. It’s all incredibly complicated but all very cool. Let me try and breakdown as much as possible.

First of all there was a ton of NFT art, obviously. Including some stuff I love including art by Krystall, Foodmasku who I own an NFT by and a bunch of great photographers because there was an NFT photography meetup earlier in the evening which I sadly missed while we were eating and I was buying batteries since I had no idea I was shooting an event for 6 hours with almost no notice. Throughout the night there were these incredible 3D movies shown on this huge wrap around screen by Jadu Hologram. The first movie was an Alex Grey piece (the famous artist, not to be confused with the pornstar) and then there were several showings of Resillusion by Orbseer. That stuff was honestly just mind blowing. There was also a live burning of a Takashi Murakami work that was apparently worth around $10,000. The idea was that they would burn the art, and then mint it as an NFT showing that art still has value digitally, but as an artist myself I think I would probably have a big problem with someone minting my work even if it was work they purchased from me. Who knows, at least it was interesting to photograph. 

At the same time all this was happening there was a huge stage set up for Mayan Warrior who are an arts collective who do Burning Man and a bunch of events like that. They have this giant pirate ship bus thing that they DJ on top of and the whole thing is pretty insane. I didn’t photograph a ton of that, but I did do a walk around before I left. I wanted to capture some of that stuff to add to the Wonder Fair photos since the events were all connected. Most of the last 40 photos in this gallery are from that. The other 100+ photos are just from Wonder Fair. 

Okay, I think that’s it. Thanks so much to Krystall and her partner Lena for having me out. Let’s look at some photos!

2021 Art Basel

This is the first of two updates from 2021 Art Basel in Miami. The second one is going to be from the Wonder Fair at Wagmiami, but I don’t know when I will get that up. I would like to say tomorrow or Friday but I am on a big deadline, but we will get to that in a second. This post has photos from four events, the Scope Art Fair, Untitled Art Fair, The Doodles/ Heart Project NFT party, and a bunch of photos of murals taken in Wynwood. So let’s get started.

I only went to Basel for three days, but two of those days were really half days. I landed around noon on Thursday and I went up to Delray Beach Saturday evening to hang out with my Dolfans NYC partner Michelle and then go to the game with her Sunday. I flew home Monday morning… So while I was in South Florida for 5 days, I really had about 50 hours doing Basel stuff. 

I came to Miami because a few weeks ago I was awarded a grant to photograph people in the NFT space for an organization of photographers and NFT collectors called Obscura. They got 100 photographers together and set them out on a mission to photograph as many people in the NFT world as possible. Unfortunately in the month or so I had for this project I had to go out of town for my girlfriend’s birthday and out of town for Thanksgiving. When I was finally back Basel was happening and a ton of people I wanted to photograph were in Miami. I figured since I got this grant I could just use that money to fly to Florida for a few days. 

When I got to Miami I actually had no plans, that is very like me. I have had great success just showing up in Miami and hoping for the best, and so far it has worked out, and I think it worked pretty well this trip. When I landed I didn’t know where to go but I saw in a Discord that if I mentioned Quantum Art and Superchief I could get into the Scope art show for free. Quantum is a platform for NFT photography and Superchief is an art gallery (I did both Instaxxx book release parties art their spaces) and I wanted to check out their stuff so that seemed like the first place to go. I went by the Superchief/ Quantum exhibit and said hi to those guys. I actually asked the Superchief guys if they wanted to be part of the project, they said yes but I could tell they weren’t really into it so I didn’t press it. I ended up just going to check out the rest of the Scope show. I took photos of really whatever, I don’t know why I picked the art I did other than it was photogenic. I just figured you guys would want to see something. 

While I was looking at art I ran into my photographer friend Tod Seelie and while we were talking my artist friend Shark Toof showed up, and then after that Mark from The Cobrasnake showed up and it was amazing to just run into so many people I knew without even moving. Shark Toof told me he could get me into the Untitled Art Fair next door so we walked over there and I got a few more pictures of art for you. I wasn’t there long because I had to go meet up with a former journalist, turned NFT “influencer” named Andrew Wang. We were going to shoot some photos for the project but there was so much traffic and chaos that by the time I got to him it was getting dark. We drove to an event but we got stuck in traffic so bad we just had to turn around. I think we were in the car for over an hour for nothing. I went back to his place with a bunch of his friends and we all went to dinner. It was so much fun just to nerd out about NFTs with a bunch of people, but I was like 15-20 years older than everyone so that was mildly awkward. Whatever, I am that weird old dude now, that’s fine. 

After dinner we all went to a party thrown by two NFT projects, Doodles and The Heart Project. The place was really fun looking so I got my camera out and took a handful of photos but I didn’t have my flash on me and I was exhausted from traveling (I was on two hours of sleep) so I didn’t last long. I still had to go check into my hotel. I ran into Atrak and his brother Dave 1 on the way out. They were DJing but I had to miss it so I could crash. It was a fun day, but honestly sleep was the move at that point.

The next day my back was killing me because I have a herniated disc that I mention in every post, and I was tired and had work to do, so I just hung out at the hotel for a while, until I met up with an NFT influencer named Deeze to take some photos. Deeze is one of the main reasons NFT photography has really taken off and while I haven’t sold a ton of work, the whole NFT space owes him a lot. I was so glad he agreed to let me take his photo. He’s anonymous so I shot him from behind on the beach, and with is phone in front of his face and I got to pick his brain for a bit about NFTs for a bit which was really cool.

After that I went over to shoot my friend Krystall for the project. She was throwing an event and I wanted to come by before it started to shoot her with some day light. Unfortunately traffic screwed me again and we rushed to shoot before the sun went down. Hopefully that ends up working out, but I guess we will see tonight when I go pick up film. Anyway, while I was talking to Krystall about taking photos, she actually hired me to shoot her event so I did that, and I will tell you all about it in the next post. It was a really cool event…

The next day I had some tentative plans but I had to leave around 5pm and I knew I was gonna stay in the hotel until the last minute because I was up until 4am and I took a muscle relaxer for my back. Being old is so much fun. So I had this like 4 or 5 hour window to shoot some stuff. I was gonna go back to Scope but I didn’t want to risk the traffic again so I went to the arts district Wynwood to take photos of all the murals that were being painted all week. It’s funny to see middle aged midwesterners doing art tours interacting with graffiti artists who have gone to jail over their art. No one ever got back to me about the tentative plans so I finally just bounced and headed to Delray. I didn’t get a ton done on Saturday, but you do have some pictures of some very cool art to check out.

Before we go let me plug some stuff… as part of this project I shot a TON of film, I know I got a grant for it but it was only $1000 and I spent almost that much on the trip. It cost $365 to develop and scan all this film that I am about to pick up, so if you want to support my work you can sponsor a roll. What that means is that you pay $30 and you get to see the roll of film before anyone else. You get to then pick your favorite photo from the roll and I send you a print of it in the mail. The process takes a couple weeks but I can try to get it done in time for Christmas, at least if you live in the US. Click here to sponsor a roll!

Oh, I should also plug my NFTs since this is an NFT related post. Click here to buy one of my juggalo NFTs!

So yeah, that’s everything, more on the Wagmiami party soon! But until then, go look at some photos.

For some reason I always update this site right before I leave town. I think it’s because I realize I haven’t updated in a while and then I realize I am leaving town and won’t get to update when I am gone and panic and need to get something up. I have been updating this site regularly for 20 years and my OCD won’t let me go too long without hitting you guys with some content.

So before I head to Miami for a few days (I got a grant to make portraits of people in the NFT community) I want to gift you guys some photos of Brynn Michaels. I found Brynn via Charlotte Sartre’s Instagram and noticed she lived in NYC. We talked about shooting but before it happened she moved to Austin… but then months later she actually moved back. 

We shot a bunch of photos in some hotel I don’t actually remember the name of with pretty awful light so we turned off all the lights and just used the window light which is always fun. It makes for a nice soft box (I mean I think soft boxes were designed to mimic windows) but with her white skin and black hair/ clothing it made for some cool harsh light as well. 

I shot these photos right before the Gathering of the Juggalos which I think is where I hurt my back. It didn’t get really bad for a few days later but I am pretty sure the Gathering did most of the damage. Aside from photographing my girlfriend, I haven’t actually shot any NSFW shoots since. Maybe I can shoot something in Miami while I am there because I need to get you more content. 

Speaking of content, these photos have been on Girls of DBB all day. I usually put them up there a day or two in advance but sort of up against it with this Miami trip. There are a handful of extra NSFW photos up there exclusive to that site. There’s also some videos from this shoot on my OnlyFans up and there will probably be another one up there tomorrow too. Sign up for both sites because they are very cheap and it helps me out a lot. 

Now let’s look at some photos…
