Happy Halloween kids! I am currently on a plane from LA headed to NYC on no sleep and trying to update this site before I lose my mind.  I was in LA for two days with a day in Vegas in between. I shot a very fancy fundraising gala one night and headed to Vegas to shoot some strippers for Hustler the next day. This is my life.  This is also the first time I have had Internet in several days as the internet at my friends place in LA was down and the hotel in Vegas decided that I didn’t know my own last name and wouldn’t let me log into their internet. So now I am spending $20 to update my site on a plane with pictures that are nearly a week old. Still, they seem pretty relevant since today is Halloween so let’s do this…

Last Friday my buddy Kristoph was in town and aside from being one of my favorite people he is also an insane person and I needed to show him a good time. Earlier in the day my friend Jamie Peck hit me up about a “Space Witch” party that was going to be super weird and that I should come by. I just planned on hanging out with Mike but I decided to bring my camera in case it was as weird as promised. Fortunately it was. When I walked in my friend Callie was out of her head and working on some sort of black magic ritual and everyone was pretty down to participate in the pre-halloween weirdness. There was a naked guy chained to the wall and this band Dust was playing and the whole thing was super weird so I took some photos and now you get to look at them.

Back in January a girl named Elisa Lam who was staying at the run down Cecil Hotel in downtown LA went missing. The only clue was this incredibly creepy video of her in the hotel’s elevator. A month later her body was found in a sealed water tower after hotel guests reported a rotting smell from their shower water. Her death was ruled an accidental drowning but no one knows how she got in the water tank. The mystery combined with the video and the hotel’s otherwise frighting history have caused her story to once again go viral. I have been seeing the video posted over and over again on Facebook and Twitter the last few days.

In April, just a few weeks after her body was found I was in LA visiting my brother for his 30th birthday. I slept on his couch most of the time I was there, but on one night I decided to stay at the Cecil. I felt like it would be the really creepy thing to do and I was inspired by one of my favorite blogs, Murder Motels.

I wasn’t going to spend $100 to stay in a shitty hotel if I didn’t have a girl to photograph so I texted a few friends and ended up reaching the amazing Sovereign Syre. She was just coming from a shoot and rushed through rush hour traffic to make it to the hotel right as the sun was creeping below the buildings. The room was dark but the window light was just enough to give us time to shoot. Sov has the best lips and eyes that exist so she is pretty fantastic to shoot no mater what the conditions. Her butt isn’t so bad either.

Thirty minutes later the light was gone and we had a super sexy kinda spooky photo shoot that I am posing just in time for Halloween. Boo!

I have no idea how I haven’t posted these photos. This is the only shoot left from my AVN Awards behind the scenes shoot for Hustler Magazine. This was actually the first shoot I did for the story and it was very spur of the moment.

Before I went out to Vegas I spent a few days in LA. I generally like to make a longer trip out of the AVN Awards so I fly into LA, rent a car, drive to Vegas for the awards and then spend a few days in LA after the trip. I do that because if I meet anyone in Vegas that I want to photograph we can set up a shoot in LA after the awards.

So back in January the night before I was supposed to leave for the awards I had dinner with a friend and then no real plans after that. I hit up Ash Hollywood about shooting or hanging out and she said she was already in Vegas. We talked a bit more and I decided just to drive to Vegas in the middle of the night. Her and her boyfriend got a big suite and they said I could sleep on their couch since my hotel reservation wasn’t until the next day. I said fuck it and I started driving to Vegas.

By the time I got there around 4am I had lined up Sasha Pain to shoot as well. I followed her on Twitter for ever and she is both super hot and super hilarious. She happened to be staying in the same hotel as Ash so they met up while they waited for me to get to Vegas. I finally got there and took some photos of them smoking weed and then I suggested a pillow fight.

The pillow fight was really fun and they pretty much tried to kill each other while I took photos. The photos were taken with my on camera flash so they look more like my old night club bathroom photo shoots than my new work but I knew I only needed a few good shots for the magazine. I thought we got some great shots even if the whole shoot looks pretty amateurish but when you have two naked girls pillow fighting who the fuck is going to complain about the technical photo quality?

I should also mention that if you had my Girls of DBB app you would have seen these photos already because I posted them on there first.

Also I should plug my book again because Ash Hollywood is one of the stars of it. If you are a fan of mine or Ash’s you need this book! It’s only $20 and is available from the Mishka stores in Brooklyn & LA as well as from this Etsy store that I set up. There aren’t many left so I would order soon.

None of these images are safe for work enough to post on the main page so click here to see all the uncensored photo from the sexy naked pillow fight between Ash Hollywood & Sasha Pain!

The LA release party for my Route 66 book “Get Your Kicks” was a huge success. It was so humbling to see all the people who came out to support me. I sold some art, a bunch of books, and Mishka LA was packed all night. Art shows are terrifying to me because as much as I think I like attention I really hate it when it’s actually happening. In retrospect it was awesome but during the show I was kinda freaking out. Talking to people about my “art” is pretty much the worst part about this whole process. I was running like a chicken sans head and trying to talk to everyone.

It was such a cool group of people who came out to the show and they well represented the diversity of the things I like to photograph. Two of the stars of the book Charlotte Stokely and Ash Hollywood came out but so did a lot of other adult film stars including Kimberly Kane, Dana DeArmond, Aiden Starr, Skin Diamond, Andy San Dimas, Veruca James, Claire Robbins, Catie Parker, Phoenix Askani, Tommy Pistol and Lee Roy Meyers, plus nude models Alysha Nett and Shay Laren. A bunch of nightlife peoples came out including DJ Skeet and Justin Tranter of Semi Precious weapons. In the tattoo world Oliver Peck and Brooklyn Payne. Comedians Maddox and Steve Agee showed up and so did amazing fine artists Coop & Shark Toof. A bunch of my photographer friends showed up including Rony Alwin, Tyler Curtis, JM Darling, Steve Diet Goedde & Victor Lightworship. Plus tons of my really good friends including my brother and CHIPS the designers of the book!

These photos kinda suck because I was too busy having an art show to take photos. I just sort of mindlessly snapped shots without a flash and hoped they would come out. I think I took better photos on my Instagram but whatever, hopefully I will eventually see some of the photos that other people took. Also, this gallery is NSFW thanks to both the art in the show and Veruca James & Catie Parker taking their clothes off.

Thanks Mishka LA for hosting the event, thanks to Kimberly Kane for helping me hang the show, thanks to Sailor Jerry and PBR for the booze and thanks to everyone for coming out! Oh, and the show is up until late November if you are in LA and still want to check out the photo show!

Lastly, remember that the NYC release party is tomorrow night! Hopefully you can make it out, but if not I just put the book on Etsy! Go order one!

So today I am headed to Los Angeles for the release of my Route 66 book “Get Your Kicks”. If you somehow missed it I traveled all of Route 66 from Chicago to LA with a bunch of hot naked girls taking photos of them and roadside Americana and them in front of roadside Americana. I am doing a big photo show and book release party at Mishka LA this Friday. There will be another smaller event at Mishka’s Brooklyn location on Oct 17th. If you want to know more you could read my original post, or check out write ups on Animal New York, AVN.com, and Fleshbot. 

In honor of the book release I am going to post this set of Annalee Belle at the famous Cadillac Ranch in Amarillo, TX. The Ranch is a Route 66 classic built by the eccentric oil billionaire/ artist Stanley Marsh 3. It was one of the main attractions I really HAD to see on my road trip and I wanted to shoot a naked girl in front of it. Unfortunately I didn’t have a model for that leg of the trip so I went to the internet to find someone. I only managed to find two possible models in Amarillo and I emailed them both. Annalee Belle hit me up and not only was down for the shoot but was actually a fan of my work. I was pretty psyched.

I picked her up and we headed to the ranch and she kinda ruined my excitement when she told me Stanley Marsh was a child molester and was currently  on trial for sexually assaulting several teen boys. Despite this awful news we headed to the Cadillac Ranch and despite insane winds, dust and tons of people spray painting the Cadillacs we managed to shoot a few photos including the cover of my book! On top of that we only got caught like twice and I had Annalee home in less than an hour from when I picked her up. It was a pretty successful trip.

But yeah, check out these photos and get excited for the release of my first of what will hopefully be many books.

I had to return I borrowed in DC last weekend so I decided that on Friday I would hit Exxxotica NJ on the way out of town. I’ve covered a bunch of Exxxotica’s in the past but it had been a while. I like to shoot porn trade shows because there are a lot of people there that I pretty much only see at conventions like AVN and Exxxotica. Plus it’s a good chance to find new models to shoot and porn fans are often just as interesting to photograph as the half naked porn stars.

I got stuck in horrible traffic leaving NYC so I was only at Exxxotica for a few hours but it was a good time. I got to meet Sydney Leather’s of the Weinergate scandal. We have a mutual friend and I found out she lives really close to the Gathering of the Juggalos! I got to meet Asa Akira who is a total babe and wants to shoot photos next time she is in NYC. I ran into this girl Raven Rockette who I briefly met in LA last time I was there. Right after the show ended we did a 3 minute mini photo shoot in my car in the parking lot. I also shot a few topless photos of my friend Kathryn who was just there to meet Jenna Jameson.

Anyway, this isn’t a huge gallery but it’s got some fun pics in it, plus that mini photo shoot with Raven Rockette. Obviously this gallery is NSFW and there is probably hardcore porn in the background of some of the photos so you have been warned. I mean it is a porn convention. Now I gotta go get back to promoting my book release party in LA!

I met April O’Neil years ago when she walked past me at a Vegas casino. I did one of those things terrible dudes do on the street where I just told her she was adorable when she walked passed my seat. I try not to harass strange women unless I have a camera in my hand and am working an event, but I needed to photograph April at some point and I had to talk to her.  She smiled and said thanks but kept walking and I am not so creepy as to chase her down, but luckily that same night someone introduced me to her. I had just picked up the first iPad and I showed her my photos and she totally wanted to shoot. She lives in LA and I was going to be there a few days later so we exchanged numbers. I was totally excited to take her photo.

Unfortunately when I got to LA something came up and the shoot didn’t work out. For YEARS this kept happening. I was sure she hated me and I kept giving up but every time I would run into her she would seem really excited to see me and promise that we would shoot soon. I felt like Charlie Brown. She was Lucy and her boobs were the football that she would yank away from me at the last moment. It was pretty frustrating but April is not just a total babe. She is also really fun, really tiny and has the best boobs ever so I kept try to get her to shoot with me.

And then it finally happened! I was in Vegas this year working on this thing for Hustler Magazine AVN Awards behind the scenes thing I keep mentioning (I still have one more post from that shoot!) and of course I asked April. She told me she didn’t want to do any work on this trip but she did really want to shoot with me. I knew I needed shots of people getting ready so I pitched her the idea that I would come over while she did her hair and make up and just shoot while she got ready. To her credit she was totally cool with getting photographed without her make up finished and let me come over before she went out to party.

We shot a pretty fun shoot in less than 20 minutes and I thought the shots were a perfect addition to my Hustler article. It’s a small set and the hotel bathroom light is really ugly but I was so glad to have finally photographed her! Don’t worry, I won’t give up until we get to do a real shoot! One of these days April! One of these days!

By the way, there are three bonus April butt shots that are on the Girls of Driven By Boredom app and all the photos were posted yesterday. Clearly you need to get on that shit for exclusive content, higher res images and photos up before anyone else gets to see ’em.

I had to put stamps on her boobs below cause I didn’t actually take any photos that weren’t NSFW. My bad. BUT make sure you click here to see all the uncensored images of April O’Neil!

I first shot Charlotte Stokely at the AVN Awards in January and we instantly hit it off, and then a few days later we went on a road trip for an article in Hustler and then a few months later she came on part of my massive Route 66 road trip. She has become pretty much my favorite model to shoot and I pretty much scheduled my 66 trip around her availability. I have posted a ton of photos of her on my Instagram and Tumblr but I realized I have never actually posted any photos of her on Driven By Boredom (although our first shoot is available on the DBB Girls App). So clearly it is time for some Charlotte Stokely!

Back in January we went on an adventure to Joshua Tree National Park for a 10 page interview/photo shoot that was published in the October issue of Hustler (which actually came out several months ago). It was one of the first time Hustler has ever combined a feature story about someone with a girl pictorial. They used a mix of 35mm film photography for the interview and digital photography for the pictorial. It ended up looking pretty awesome.

On our trip we stopped off at the Cabazon Dinosaurs, the world famous giant dinos in Cabazon, CA. They were in Pee Wee’s Big Adventure and the Wizard, two of my favorite movies ever as a kid. It was the middle of the day so there weren’t any kids around so we snuck about the park taking photos until we got inside the T-Rex and did a photo shoot in his head! There were cameras in there but we did the shoot anyway.

Originally the dinosaurs were built as a tourist attraction to promote the Wheel Inn Restaurant but they are now their own separate park. The Wheel Inn is still there so we stopped off for some food. On the way out we did one more shoot in front of a giant brontosaurus. She got completely naked and then ran to the car and drove us all the way to Joshua Tree naked! Well, almost all the way. She put some clothes on when we got off the highway.

By the time we got to the park it was getting dark so we had to do the whole shoot in about 20 minutes. We had bought some cheap champagne to spray all over the place because she was wearing pearls and figured it would be classy. The only problem was that we were in the desert in January and it was pretty damn cold once the sun started to go down. She was naked, covered in champagne and freezing her ass off but she didn’t complain. She even fucked up a brand new pair of heels but she just shrugged it off. I became a huge Stokely fan at that moment.

After that we headed back to her place in LA but we stopped off for dinner at Denny’s. I thought it would make for a funny couple of shots. We finally ended the day back at her place where she smoked and relaxed in some hilarious bunny slippers and not much else. The whole day was pretty great.

Because I shot these photos for a Hustler pictorial there are a bunch of much more graphic photos that I had to shoot. I don’t post stuff like that on this site, but I posted all the extra dirty shots on the DBB App. As I mentioned there is another whole set of Charlotte on there as well so if you are a Stokely fan it’s probably worth a gander. But if not there are still a TON of free NSFW photos in this gallery! So get excited!

Way back in January I was working on my AVN Awards behind the scenes coverage for Hustler and I ran into Bonnie Rotten who was hanging out with Malice McMunn. I had met Bonnie the year before and even though she wasn’t even doing porn at the time she stood out to me because she was adorable and covered in tattoos. So when I ran into Malice & Bonnie I pitched them on the idea of doing this AVN behind the scenes shoot and they were down to shoot for it and after the article ran in Hustler I posted the gallery of my shoot with Malice & Bonnie here.

When I told my editor at Hustler that I was shooting Bonnie for the AVN story, he got excited and asked if I would shoot Bonnie for an interview feature as well. She had totally blown up in the adult world in under a year and he wanted to get her in the magazine. So right before I shot Malice & Bonnie together, I shot Bonnie by herself in her Vegas hotel room. A few months later I was in LA and Hustler asked me if I wanted to do Bonnie’s interview as well so I met up with her on a film shoot and interviewed her. If you want to read that you have to pick up last month’s Hustler but I will mention a couple of things.

There aren’t many super tattooed girls that are really successful in the adult world. There are a ton of tattooed girls out there that do sites like Burning Angel but not a lot of really featured girls. Bonnie is a legit star. I asked her about this and other things in the interview, but I can tell you why Bonnie has done what a lot of other tattooed girls haven’t. Aside from being really adorable Bonnie is a god damned professional. A ton of girls flaked on me at AVN and it’s a constant problem when shooting naked girls but Bonnie not only didn’t flake, but she woke me up to ask how she wanted her make up done. She hired her own make up artist and was ready right when she said she would be. When we did the interview she was dealing with some stuff, but she stopped in the middle, did the interview and then went back to what she was doing. She’s also very smart, very cool and very aware of her brand and what jobs to take and which ones not to take. I guarantee you are going to be seeing a lot more of Bonnie Rotten… on both sides of the camera.

Also, since I shot this for Hustler they asked me to shoot some graphic spread legged shots and stuff. I don’t like to post stuff like that on Driven By Boredom, but since I am always looking for new reasons to get you to sign up for my app, I posted all the extra dirty shots on the Girls of Driven By Boredom web app. Go sign up already!
