Trash – 6.20.08

3 weeks ago I didn’t take photos at Trash because it was my birthday.  2 weeks ago it got raided.  1 week ago I was working another party.  I had to go shoot it last night.  While Trash is not really the same as it was when it was at Rififi, I still find that I have a lot of fun there, although it has a different feel.  Last night there was some private party for some button ups at the same time as Trash so there were all these square people mixing in with the already strangely mixed crowd of Trash.  I met a group of like 5 or 6 really cute girls and it turned out one of them is from DC.  She lives like 3 blocks from where I saw a 14 year old kid get beaten to death in the middle of the street.  Since I am in DC all the time, I was excited to meet her because I have almost no one in DC to hang out with when I am visiting my parents.  I spend most of my time there watching HBO On Demand.  Hopefully this girl can introduce me to something fun to do there again since all my old friends moved.  I did not shoot a lot, and I got dragged out of there early, but I got a few shots before the rest of my mostly boring and slightly drama filled night that I am not going to bore you with here.

Enjoy the photos.

High Voltage – 6.18.08

I seriously thought I updated yesterday. I didn’t go out until like 2 am. What the fuck was I doing for two hours? I was talking to this girl about doing photos and she was all excited about it, and then today I was in a shitty mood and I started talking to her and yelling at her for wanting to get a real job and not be a fuck up like 20 year olds should be. Oh well. I have been a bad mood for two days. These photos from High Voltage are particularly bad because not only was I in a bad mood, but I was dealing with some other shit and working on my 4th Of July project and not taking party photos. But I was at a party with a camera and people kept demanding I take their photos, so I did and I just sort of wildly tossed around my camera and took shots when I felt like it. It seems like half of them are photos of my friend Delilah and her drunk friends. One of them was going to get naked for the site, but then her boyfriend called her and they got into some argument or something and she didn’t really get naked. She did flash a cab driver, which was hilarious. The look on his face made me want to pee myself. And everyone in this pizza place saw and was cracking up. She does have one boob out in these photos, plus my friend Sam flashed me, so like, Not Safe For Work and stuff. I actually ended up with a few shots I like over all, so check the photos out and we can all just have a good time.

Speaking of Sea Gulls, I saw the biggest fucking gull I have ever seen the other day, and I was thinking that if you had never seen a bird and that thing came up to you, you would probably be scared shitless. More frequent updates soon. Sorry for the slack.

M – 6.16.08

Hey now. Darkroom was super fun last night. I ran into a bunch of people I was happy to see. I ran around working on my fourth of July project. This is totally important somehow, but I am not sure exactly how. I feel like something really funny happened that I could tell you all about but I have lost all memory of the last 24 hours. I had a stressful day at work. This thug dude tried to threaten me into buying candy for his imaginary basketball team. Two days earlier he was harassing my coworkers saying he was collecting money for a group home. He just got in my face and wouldn’t let me walk forward. When I told him no he said “Don’t make me do what I want to do” all threateningly. What I wanted to say was “Oh, You are a gangster? You are a grown ass man forcing tourists in midtown to buy candy”, but what I actually said was “go do it to someone else”. He seemed slightly taken back by that which is when he mentioned the basketball team and suggested I make a donation. I just walked off and into work and saw him starting to hassle some old Asian man. Then I got to work and my ipod had randomly deleted all the music on it. Then there was some other shit, and I spent most of the day just wanting to get into a fight. Anyway, I downloaded an Elvis CD on iTunes and calmed myself down.

I think I just need some sleep. Just look at the photos from last night, for some reason everyone is kissing in it. I actually kissed my friend Jody and her friend for photos. I am breaking my own rule against posting photos of me making out (it is bad for business) because I think they are really cute. I wasn’t really making out anyway. Okay. Go die.

This is not going to be the most exciting update ever, but it just may change your life.  While I have several reasons, the number one reason I have for not jumping under a speeding bus is that I am really excited about how quickly technology is going.   I am really looking forward to being around for the Singularity and having my brain implanted into a robot.  Someone was bitching to me about global warming the other day, and I assured her that robots do not need an atmosphere or trees, and that once they rule the world, our sensitive flesh coats will be unnecessary.  They are the next evolution and we just need to spend all our time working on robots so they can carry on our legacy long after the last human has been exterminated in the robot uprising.

Anyway, one of my favorite new advancements in technology is one that if I had my whole life, I probably would have forgotten a lot less of my crazy schemes and/or brilliant freestyle rap lyrics.  I also probably would have missed less apointments, because I barely know how to text message on my phone, much less use the calendar.  The technology is not so much a technology, as a website called Jott.com.

Using Jott.com you can call their number, and leave yourself a message which they will then turn into text and email it to you, or text it to your phone.  You can also have it send it to your phone at a specific time, reminding you of something you have to do.  I can finally stop writing shit on my hands.  ALSO if your friends sign up, you can Jott them and send them emails via the telephone.  It is pretty amazing.  So if you are my friend in real life, let me know once you sign up (it is free) and we can connect or whatever.  Now whenever I get any hair brained schemes I can let you all know about them while I am walking over a bridge trying to figure out the meaning of life, or how I can bring more traffic to my blog.

Friday The 13th Tatler – 6.13.08

So Lotus is closing and Michael T asked me to do a photo booth because the party was zombie themed. Once I got there we scrapped that idea and I just did my normal thing. I got my new camera to start working again although I am not sure why it stopped in the first place, which is a little bit of a concern. I also got a new bounce thing to go on my flash which I am pretty happy with. I dig the results. I met this girl who I made out with for like a second and then we sat down and started talking but she was kinda drunk so I just gave her my number and told her that if she wanted to call me when she was sober I would probably pick up. I was just saying goodbye when her large gay friend pulled her away from me and wouldn’t let me say bye to her. He was being a complete dick for no reason and I am not exactly sure why we didn’t get into a fight, but I am pretty sure it had something to do with me holding on to my new camera. The thing is, I was actually really trying to be a good guy and not mess with her. I pretty much got “hug blocked” Grr.

Anyway, here are pictures from the night. They are pretty fun. NSFW for some giant boobs towards the end of the gallery.

Rap Vs. Country

Often when I have asked a dumb person what kind type of music they like, they have said “I listen to everything but country” or “Everything but rap”. Unfortunately for those people these worlds are colliding. With the Snoop song “My Medicine” he give shout outs to Johnny Cash and the Grand Ole Opry plus Willy Nelson appears to be doing back up vocals. Fucking awesome. The video though is still not my favorite Rap/Country mash up. That has to go to Trace Adkins bewildering country video (Honky Tonk Badonkadonk?!) that is shot and produced like a rap song, and features similar content to classic hip hoppers such as 2 Live Crew and Sir Mix-a-lot.

Friday The 13th: The End Of Lotus

So Lotus is closing on Friday the 13th.  Unlucky for them.
Michael T is planning a fitting tribute: Zombie Dance Party.
I will be there doing an undead photobooth, although without a lighting set up because  last time I did a real set up in a club someone broke my lights.  There will be a horrific backdrop though.
So yeah… See you tonight?

Zombie Sideshow – 5.26.08

This event at Supreme Trading was soooo long ago. I shot it on spec for the Village Voice and they bought it from me. I got the check today. I was waiting until they posted it to post the photos, but it has been weeks so it needs to go up. I thought now was a good time, because my next post is going to be a plug for ANOTHER zombie party. So yeah. Look above this post for fun party times tonight. Anyway, I don’t want to go into the whole thing, because it was a while ago, but it was nuts and the pictures are fucking crazy and not safe for work…. but for once not because of nudity (although there sort of is a bit) but because of gore and bloodshed! There were suspensions and hooks and fire and blood and madness. REAL blood. Not just zombie blood.

Here are the troublemakers involved:

Doug Sakmann: Ringleader Extraordinaire.
New York Zombie Crawl
: Zombies Like Brooklyn Too.
Nassau Chainsaw: Band + Weapons = Amazing.
DisGraceLand HooK Squad: Suspentions, Hooks And Violence
Zamora Torture King: Putting The Sideshow In Zombie Sideshow
Burning Angels: Half Naked Zombie Whores!

 Okay okay, check out the fucking brutal photos already.
