Today I am going to  jump on a plane to Columbus, Ohio and then drive another hour to Heath, Ohio where my hotel is and then finally drive another 25 minutes to get to Thornville, Ohio home of the Gathering of the Juggalos. This will be my 7th straight trip to the most insane music festival on the planet and while I tell myself every year that this is my last year, I keep coming back.

If you do a Google Image search for “juggalo” I have taken nearly half the photos on there. Seriously, it’s wild. I have taken every juggalo photo I ever need to take, but somehow the Gathering keeps calling me back. Part of it is that I am one of the only photographers who will go to this thing so I can pick up a bunch of clients really easily and make a bunch of money for the same amount of work. Another part is that juggalos kinda make the internet explode so it’s pretty good for my social networks and hits and shit like that I have to care about. But I also go cause it’s actually a lot of fun. It’s completely lawless, totally fucking mental and there’s always a few rad bands that play.

So yeah, get excited for this shit. I know I am. In the mean time, I gotta give you some content….

Back in 2013 I shot a “Girls of the Gathering of the Juggalos” feature for Hustler Magazine. Well I took so many fucking photos for them and the article was only 8 pages or something. I meant to post those photos many years ago but I just never did for some reason. So today when I was trying to find something to post I ran into like 7 unpublished sets shot at the Gathering including a pretty amazing set of Pepper Kester and this really fun shoot I did with a girl named Kinky Carnival on actual carnival rides! She was with this band Wolfpac that goes to the Gathering every year and I shot a bunch of their girls for the Hustler article. This one was my favorite though.

So here are three free NSFW photos and I put the full set on Girls of Driven By Boredom. Eventually I am going to do a big dump of all these photos from 2013 but keep the sets as Girls of DBB exclusives. That seems like a good way not to overload my site with juggalos but also give my paying fans some weird bonus content and get all these photos up finally.

So go to Girls of Driven By Boredom for this pretty large set of Kinky Carnival photos and then come back here for hopefully daily 2016 Gathering of the Juggalos updates. By the way if you don’t already follow my Snapchat you probably should for this one…

So yeah I am actually back in Brooklyn and my epic 15 day road trip is over and I barely updated the Road Trip blog. Sorry about that but I probably averaged about 5 hours of sleep at night and the rest of my time was spent sleeping, eating and taking photos of naked babes. Not a lot of time (or quality wifi) to update stuff.

I just wanted to give you a quick wrap up of the last week and a few photos before we head back over to the main blog.

After dropping off April O’Neil in San Francisco I headed straight to SFO airport and picked up Lucy Everleigh. We headed up to Portland where we met up with my friend Chelsea and she helped us sneak some nudes in a oddly populated rose garden. It was raining and the middle of the day, I am not sure why it was so crowded but we managed a few shots.

The next day we met up with a couple of babes for breakfast and made plans to shoot Amanda Pemberton AKA Apneatic. Luckily for us the breakfast babes (Ivy Aura and Artemis Moon) wanted to come shoot with us and we all got naked in a forest and by we all I mean them. Later Lucy, Amana and Amanda’s boyfriend all went to an hourly rate hot tub because we are fucking creepy.

After that Lucy and I drove up to Seattle and got food with my friend Steak aka Rachael Finley who made this feminist juggalette documentary for Broadly that I have photos in (and am also in if you look carefully). We checked out Seattle for a bit but I didn’t see a single fish and then I drove to a hotel in the suburbs to shoot Lucy, Romance and our friend Hunny. We then ate a bunch of crabs and had a weird hotel party.

From there I went and hung out with my favorite human Kimberly Kane and one of my favorite people to shoot Lily LaBeau. I helped them shoot some custom video for someone which might technically finally make me a pornographer and then we went hiking (driving mostly) on Mt. Rainier. It was pretty rad and I took some lovely photos of Lily which aren’t in this update but you will probably get to see them soon.

I met up with Lucy again the next day and we drove back to Portland and got matching bath tub tattoos (we share a love for warm water and poor tattoo choices) and then got the fuck back to San Francisco where I dropped Lucy off before heading to meet up with my friend January Seraph for dinner and a movie like some sort of normal human who hadn’t just spent two weeks on the road. The Lobster was worth seeing.

I finally left the west coast and after a nightmarish travel experience I ended up in bed back in Brooklyn. The end. Enjoy a few photos of Lucy and assorted babes. Much more soon!

I realize I am way behind on my road trip updates but better late than never. Since we last left I spent another day or two in LA and shot some random photos of Aiden Ashley, Draven Star and Abella Danger. All of them were shot with my on camera flash so I am not psyched about them enough to post them right this second but you will see some of em sooner or later.

So on Monday I took off towards San Francisco with April O’Neil. We took the Pacific Coast Highway and had a blast and took tons of photos on rocks and cliffs and fun stuff like that. We ended up in San Louis Obisbo, CA at the famous Madonna Inn and ate cake and went swimming and took photos in our pioneer themed room. I honestly can’t wait to find a reason to go back.

The next day we went to Santa Cruz and played pinball and hung out with a giant dead whale statue. Then we finally made it to San Francisco and played even more pinball. April is so into pinball that I have a pinball related injury now. We eventually got locked out of the place we were staying and April picked the lock because she is my hero.

The next morning April and I split up and I headed to the airport to pick up Lucy Everleigh. I have spent the last few days hanging out with Lucy and am currently in Seattle but I will post more about that shit later…

Until then here’s a few photos of April.

So I finally had a chance to look at some of the photos I have shot so far and do a quick update. I have been so fucking busy in LA between photos of babes, pool parties, exciting trips to the hospital and hanging out with my family. It’s been a fun and productive trip so far.

Day one I got to shoot Samantha Rone pretty much straight from the airport. Then I met up with Abella Danger who let me crash at her place and we went to visit my friend Frog aka Dances With White Girls in the hospital. Some drunk asshole hit him with a car while he was waiting for a fucking Uber. He seemed in good spirits and Abella and I brought him food and her butt so it was a good time.

Oddly enough I haven’t really taken any good digital photos of Abella while I have been in town but I have shot a bunch of random 35mm snap shots so hopefully I will get something good out of that.

On day two I spent most of it with Riley Reid. I have wanted to shoot her forever and we took a million photos and most of them were fucking awesome. I shot her at her place getting ready and then we shot in this terrifying tunnel we found and then on a bridge where she caused a traffic jam. Seriously I am not even joking about that. And then after that we shot in the trunk of my rental car which was one of my most liked Instagram photos of all time.

After that I went to dinner with my family and then met up with Abella at my homie Carter Cruise’s spot. I didn’t take many photos there but I did take a couple of Abella and a babe named Blair Williams. The best digital shot is one of her texting (seen below) but we did take a couple polaroids and some 35mm shots too.

Yesterday I went to a mini pool party at Bryan Gozzling’s house. I shot a pretty fun set of Lil Brown Eyes in and around the pool. It was a lot of fun, made for some good photos AND she cooked us some delicious food. So yeah, awesome. After the party I ate with my family again and then shot Belle Noire for a second in her hotel room before she had to bounce. The light sucked and we only shot for a minute but there might be a few decent photos in there somewhere.

Today I don’t have much going on but I am going to a Dodgers game for some weird reason and then later I hopefully am gonna shoot another babe or two. Who knows? One more day in LA tomorrow but I am spending it with my family again for Father’s Day. But my road trip starts for real on Monday so there should be a ton of good shit coming!

So I have done a terrible job of updating this while in Austin for SXSW. Don’t blame me. I have been busy making money so that I can pay my rent and continue photographing fun stuff that you want to look at. This is life.

So SXSW is over and I am headed home at 6am tomorrow. Since I last left you guys I shot two more days of FloodFest and I shot a little bit of the Levitation showcase at Hotel Vegas. I think. I also got a tattoo that says Chow Hound and hung out with some babes at Red Lobster and at a lake. It’s been a good trip I think.

Thanks a bunch to Sailor Jerry and Original Penguin for having me out and here’s a few photos from the last couple days before I get home and update this site properly.

So holy shit I haven’t had time to do anything so far. I can’t really explain it except to say I got old somehow. Normally at SXSW I sleep 4 hours and somehow just function perfectly fine but this year I am struggling. I started out on the wrong foot when I landed in Austin after sleeping a total of three hours over the last 72. That first night I crashed early because I had to hit FloodFest at 11am.

Here’s some highlights…

The Heavy. They were great.

Deap Valley. Rock and roll babes that I kinda want to describe as the White Stripes with more bluesy female vocals but that seems like kinda bullshit. Whatever the case they wore fringe and were hanging out with an actual human baby.

This guy who got a fucking SXSW 2016 tattoo on his knuckles. That shit is so wild. He was in a band called American Bombshell playing their first ever SXSW and he saw that Sailor Jerry was doing free tattoos. SXSW 16 is not actually a Sailor Jerry tattoo but it had to be done.

After FloodFest I randomly got hired to shoot a dinner for Atlanta hip-hop legends Organized Noize which was awesome. They have a documentary out in the film fest and were celebrating. So thanks to my buddy Chris for putting in the good word. It makes up for that time we split a hotel room at Art Basel and his sleep apnea machine lulled me to sleep to the sounds of Darth Vader snoring.

After the Organized Noize dinner I went back to edit photos and called it a night.

Day two started back at FloodFest. My friends Ho99o9 are destroying SXSW for the second year in a row and they came by to get some Sailor Jerry tattoos and then I took em over to Original Penguin for some button up shirts which is kinda a great look on some punk rock scumbags.

Band wise I really dug the September Girls. I hung out with them most of the day which was an ideal way to spend St. Patrick’s Day given they are all actually Irish. Rad babes with cute accents that make good music? Totally down to be their groupie if they need me.

My favorite band of SXSW so far is Sir The Baptist. They are a mix of gospel, hip hop and R&B and they put on a hell of a show. You should see them if you get a chance. This photo isn’t even of Sir.

After FloodFest I went over to Hotel Vegas to check out Thee Oh Sees at the Levitation showcase which makes the millionth time I have seen Thee Oh Sees in Austin. They are fucking great though so it’s a yearly SXSW requirement. Also there were a ton of cute babes at Hotel Vegas (including the September Girls!) which is the most important thing.

I left Hotel Vegas kinda early to edit photos and take a shower before going back out again but it’s now midnight and I am working on this post and haven’t even showered yet so I kinda have a feeling I am in for the night. Fuck it. We got a lot more SXSW to go!

I did a real shitty job updating this, but it’s okay cause I am home already and I have some photos from the Adult Entertainment Expo up already. What are you gonna do? AVN photos will be up tomorrow and then a series of naked photos from my gig working for AVN director of the year Greg Lansky. Plus there’s a Vice article coming soon and everyone will have tons of stuff to look at.

I just wanted to post here as a half ass apology in case anyone is looking at the road trip blog months from now. Plus I figured I can just throw up some AVN images I already posted on Twitter and will post again on the main page tomorrow. Sorry and stuff.

I have been in Vegas for less than two days and I am pretty much dead already. I have been shooting a bunch for Blacked.com & Tushy.com and I spent a lot of time at the Adult Entertainment Expo yesterday for Vice and the Village Voice/LA Weekly. I have also done a couple of shoots just for fun. I haven’t seen natural light since I have been here and I kinda hate flash these days so I honestly hate pretty much every photo I have taken over the last two days. That being said I have shot a TON of 35mm film and I think that stuff could be fucking awesome. But then again it could be terrible, so who knows.

Instead of going into the pit of despair and madness that is this and every Vegas trip, I am just gonna throw some photos at you guys. Enjoy the preview of what is much more to come…

So things have been slightly more photographically productive since the last update. As I mentioned in the last post I took a few photos of my old friend Roxy the other day but they were kinda drunk party in a hotel pictures. She hit me up the next day to ask if I wanted to take some real photos at her place. I came over and we took some shots before my cat allergies took over and I had to bounce. Still we got some nice shots for someone who doesn’t really model ever.

Yesterday I got to shoot Gabriella Paltrova at her place. We shot for several ours and shot a ton of film and polaroids and I even took some photos of her with an insane samurai sword for some reason. All of it was great. She has instantly become one of my favorite models. She killed it. Here’s a preview.

Now I am headed to Vegas for the AVN Awards. So much crazy shit to come. I have a feeling you guys are gonna be really happy with the upcoming madness.

Oh, did I mention Gabi has a really rad butt?
