I am right in the middle of my vacation. I went to the beach over the weekend with two of my best friends from elementary school and now I am in LA visiting my girlfriend. Today is her birthday and we are going to some sort of spa or something in the middle of the desert for a couple of days. Fortunately I got a few updates ready to go before I left so I should have two or three updates for you between now and when I finally get back to NYC next week.

I always preferred color to black and white in photography. I shot black and white film in high school and college but as soon as they let me in a color dark room I switched to color. I generally feel like black and white is just an easy way out… if you can’t shoot color you can just make it black and white and maybe no one will notice. That being said I do feel black and white has a place and is just another tool like digital or Polaroid or iPhones or whatever you want to make pictures with.

A few years ago I wanted to sort of get back to my roots and really take the time to compose and manual focus and just force myself to slow down before taking a photo. I dug out the old Vietnam era Pentax that was my mothers that I shot on when I was first learning my craft. I started taking it to shoots with me and just keeping a black and white roll of film it it at all times. I shot a bunch of stuff with it, but a lot of what I was shooting were nudes of girls in bed.

I started shooting all these nudes with a 50mm lens because the 50mm 1.4 was the fastest lens I have for my old Pentax and since you can’t push your ISO much past 800 when shooting 400 speed film at 1.4 was my best chance of being able to shoot in a dark bedroom without strobes. You can ignore that last sentence if you don’t know anything about photography but long story short when you shoot at 1.4 it causes a severe lack of depth of field which makes for really soft photos where most of the photo is blurry except for the main point of focus. It’s a nice effect if done right and people seem to like “artistic” nudes shot like that.

Anyway, the point of this is that I have learned to love shooting black and white again. It’s really nice to see the grain in the film because black and white digital looks like shit to me. Black and white film looks better to me than it has ever in a world where digital is so pervasive. I think you will dig on these photos and after these nudes go up I have a second series of black and white portraits that I hope you will enjoy as well despite the lack of nudity.

Every year I cover The Gathering of the Juggalos by FAR the most popular post is the naked juggalette photos. In 2010 I gave it the catchy title of “Juggalo Porn” and then I got yelled at because it’s juggalettes so in 2011 I called it “Juggalette Porn” but this year the post is just going to be called “Naked Juggalettes” mostly because I am already on the first page of google for Juggalette Porn so I figured I would try something else. Gotta get those page views!

Speaking of page views I think I know why this stuff does so well. When I post photos of hot naked chicks a ton of people look at them but they don’t show their friends because sharing porn is creepy. But with the juggalettes there are enough fat ones and crack headed looking ones that it’s funny to share them with your friends even though we all know you are secretly jerking off to this stuff. Don’t lie. I know you.

So get fucking excited because today I am finally bringing to you 91(!) photos of naked or at least topless juggalettes for your pleasure and horror. This is the post you have been waiting for so show your friends this madness already. Tweet and Facebook this shit and do whatever you must to show the world these clearly life changing and of course photos. Make sure you send these not safe for work photos to your friends while they are at work. Thank you for your time. That is all. And now without further ado…

The Gathering of the Juggalos is a yearly music festival in Cave In Rock, IL created by the Insane Clown Posse that I have now photographed three times. Every year it produces some of the best photos I have ever taken. To see my complete GOTJ archives please click here.

This is my favorite post of all the Gathering of the Juggalos posts this year. Yeah the naked juggalettes I am going to post tomorrow will get the most traffic but this gallery is my favorite portraits from the festival. I decided to shoot a lot of these day time portraits at F 2.8 so it would give a low depth of field and blow out the background just like I would if I were doing a proper photo shoot. I probably should do that whenever shooting day time event stuff because I am really happy with the results.

Juggalos are one of my favorite subjects and a number of these people I got to talk to for a long time before or after I took their photo. I met a number of people who had helped destroy a guys car who had been kicked out of the Gathering for stealing. One of those guys was homeless and he had spent a month and a half walking from Oregon to get to the Gathering. While he was at the festival he had all of his belongings stolen and was walking around with the catalytic converter from the thief’s car so that he could sell it to help fund the next leg of his journey. I talked to some juggalos who came all the way from Poland to be there and they were so excited to make the pilgrimage to The Gathering. I talked to people I had met in years past who were now fans of my website and couldn’t wait to see the new shots. I talked to a kid who was on work release and told his parole officer he was “working” the festival. The last time I saw him he was drunk driving a limo through the festival grounds. And I talked to a lot of interesting people who came from all over to be at this festival for the best five days of their year.

This gallery also has some nude juggalette photos in here so it’s properly not safe for work but those photos will show up again in the massive NSFW gallery I am going to be posting of nothing but naked juggalettes tomorrow. Every year that is by far the gallery that gets the most traffic so get excited about it. I still have one more gallery to post later tonight but until then…

Even if you hate the Insane Clown Posse you have to admit the Gathering of the Juggalos is a pretty cool thing of them to do for their fans. Juggalos get five days of their favorite bands, mixed with a ton of huge nationally touring acts, comedy, nudity and a BBQ all for $175. It seems like a pretty good deal. How often does your favorite band feed you hot dogs and hamburgers?

By day five nothing at the Gathering of the Juggalos is surprising but if you take a minute to realize what is happening at Violent  J’s Beach Boy BBQ Blowout Bash it’s pretty surreal. You have this hugely famous musician in full clown make up wearing a god damned lei with his Air Jordans serving free food to half naked juggalos while DJ Clay spins a mix of Beach Boys songs and Psychopathic Records hits all leading up to a Michael Jackson cover band.

Seriously, there is a Michael Jackson cover band who played called Who’s Bad?  That’s not a question, that’s just the name of the band… and they were bad ass. Violent J claimed they were his favorite Michael Jackson cover band which I would imagine is not a huge stretch, although I also wouldn’t be surprised if Violent J runs a Michael Jackson tribute band review blog on the side. At this point nothing about ICP surprises me.  So yeah, let’s recap… Michael Jackson cover band, clown rapper serving hot dogs, Beach Boys and “wicked” juggalo music being spun by a DJ and topless girls on stage being sprayed with water guns full of Faygo. Oh, I didn’t mention that last part yet? Yeah we can safely mark this gallery NSFW.  Moving on…

Only the Insane Clown Posse would think up something as revolutionary as a wet t-shirt contest without any t-shirts. Fucking brilliant. Actually what really happened is that for some reason there was no power on that stage so the host had no mics and they didn’t deliver the Faygo to pour all over the girls so the whole thing was going to be canceled. Fortunately (or unfortunately depending on your naked juggalette tolerance) the host decided the best course of action was just to get a bunch of girls on stage and have them take their clothes off. He asked the audience for whatever liquid they could find to pour over the naked juggalettes and the crisis was averted. Thank god.

I don’t know how much more I can say about a gallery of naked girls with Faygo being poured over their heads in kiddie pools but I will tell you to check out the hilarious picture below of the photographer who decided it would be a good idea to just walk right up to the girls and fuck up everyone’s shot so he could get a photo that probably looks like shit. It made for a really funny image though. Note to aspiring photographers. Don’t do that shit.

After three Gathering of the Juggalos I have become friends with the dudes in Wolfpac. They are crazy scumbag guys who make their own porn and some fucked up questionable rap music. They are my kinda dudes. They also host the Psychopathic Radio events at the Gathering which is full of nudity, binge drinking and violence.

Wolfpac’s live show involves strippers, fire spitting and a ton dudes in masks running into the crowd trying to incite violence. In the mosh pit people were hitting mother fuckers with chairs and a blue trash barrel was being thrown all over the place. It was pretty majestic. The problem for me was that I kept getting lamp oil all over my camera when little bits of oil that didn’t burn off in the fire spitting would spray down all over the photo pit. Also out of fear of some sort of under cover FBI agent thing the Wolfpac strippers kept pasties on and didn’t do the horrible sexual acts on stage that they are known for. Still it was a wild fucking show and I got a ton of crazy photos. And despite the pasties I still think this gallery is pretty NSFW.

One of the best sets at the Gathering of the Juggalos every year is Tech N9ne. It’s so funny how many people love this dude. My friends into mainstream rap love him, juggalos ride for him so fucking hard and even my girlfriend gave me shit when I asked her if she knew Tech N9ne. Turns out she is a huge fan. For a dude that everyone fucking loves I am surprised he doesn’t get more top 40 play… at least I would be if his songs weren’t so fucked up and weird and awesome.

Non-juggalos seem surprised that Tech N9ne would play the Gathering every year, but not only does Tech N9ne love playing the Gathering he actually has a song that sugests you can swallow his dick if you talk shit about juggalos. Juggalos on the other hand universally love Tech N9ne like no other rapper. Outside Psychopathic Records artists there are only two musicians that every juggalo seems down with: Kottonmouth Kings and Tech N9ne. It’s a very weird combination.

Anyway, I was excited for Tech N9ne’s set and I shot the entire thing for two reasons. 1) As I previously mentioned Tech N9ne is awesome. 2) Tech N9ne gets every girl in the crowd topless. I have no idea how he does it but he does a song called Areola and every single juggalette gets on someones shoulders and takes her top off. At one point in the set Tech N9ne asks people to throw him their bras and panties and he runs around for a song holding a huge handful of undoubtedly disgusting underwear. There are photos in this set where you can see more than a dozen girls topless at the same time. It’s pretty wild.

I can’t show any of that in the preview pics below because I am too lazy to censor all those boobs in one shot, but just know these pictures are pretty awesomely NSFW even if there are a few (a lot) of juggalettes in the crowd you probably don’t actually want to see with their shirts off.

W-Fuck-Off Radio returned to The Gathering of the Juggalos. Hosted by the dudes in Wolfpac, Psychopathic Radio is a one stop shop to see totally fucking wild shit at The Gathering of the Juggalos. For four hours every day they mix insane clown tunes with making people do horrible things and then they add in a bunch of strippers. Aside from taking photos of topless girls dancing on poles I shot three actual events that Wolfpac was instigating. The first was a drinking contest involving four beer bongs, four shots of vodka and four shots of hot sauce. Four people did this and only two of them made it through without quitting. One of those two guys then went on to face another guy who had not been drinking in a vodka shot contest. You had to do a beer bong and then do 10 straight shots in a row. The sober guy did his 10 shots and then started vomiting. The other guy who in total did about 5 beers and 15 shots of vodka was totally fine and won a bunch of prizes. I am sure he died several minutes after I left.

The next thing I saw was kinda stupid. They had a tug-a-war contest with one guy on each team in roller skates and another guy blindfolded. In the middle was a baby pool full of thumbtacks and pond water and other horrible things so that they would get nice and infected. Unfortunately no one really fell in the baby pool so they just put the thumbtacks everywhere and people got them in their hands and knees and stuff which was kinda funny but it was a lot of build up for mediocre results.

The third event went above and beyond. I was riding around with the Psychopathic publicist on her golf cart when I saw people just punching each other on stage. I jumped off and ran over and it seemed there was some sort of gimmick originally where they had their hands tied or something but by the time I got there these dudes were just punching each other in the face. This black dude with burn scars all over his body seemed to have some Muy Thai training and ended the fight by kneeing the other dude in his head over and over again. It was fucking brutal. Both dudes stood up to a lot of blows and I was really impressed. The dude who won gave all his prizes to the crowd… he was just into it for the glory. It was one of the best things I saw all week and I took a lot of 35mm shots too. I can’t wait to get that shit developed. Amazing.

Last time I shot Kory Minx we had less than 10 minutes to shoot. She showed up at my hotel room five minutes after I had to check out. We busted out a full shoot faster than I have ever shot anyone outside of a night club bathroom. The funny thing abou the shoot? We got some great shots. I was hoping I would get the chance to shoot her again and I did.

Once again Kory was running late, but she showed up at my girlfriends old apartment in LA right as the sun was starting to set. I was photographing my girlfriend Kimberly Kane in the living room when she arrived so we quickly wrapped it up and I put Kory in a chair in the corner by the window and we started shooting. This time the shoot lasted five times as long as the last one… about 20 minutes. Once again we got great shots and since my girlfriend was already naked we took a bunch of photos of them together… but you are gonna have to wait for those. (Okay, here’s one of em!)

Kory is a total babe and an awesome lady. She is constantly trying to steal my girlfriend from me, but at least she let’s me take photos of her naked a lot. You can see more of  her on Gods Girls.  And you can even see her in my new Twitter avatar sitting between me and my old lady.

Now hurry up and click here to see all the new NSFW pictures of Kory Minx!
