One Direction – 5.26.12

Clearly I have no idea what is going on in the world of pop music because when I was asked by the Village Voice to photograph a band called One Direction I had to google them. If you are as out of touch with the Glee generation as I evidently am, One Direction is a boy band from Ireland and 13 year old girls fucking love them.  Never in my life have I ever been to a show where the audience was louder than the band.  Seriously, the constant screams from teen girls were deafening as I had to cover my ears to block out the sound. I’ve shot Mototorhead several times and never even considered wearing earplugs but if I had to shoot One Direction again I would stock up on ear protection.

I honestly don’t even know what One Direction sounded like but they seemed pretty adorable and the crowd seemed to love them. I felt a little creepy photographing tween girls but these crazy girls were the most interesting thing about the show. I just wish I had brought my flash or came earlier so I could have photographed more of the kids waiting outside. I feel like there is a fantastic photo documentary that could be made following One Direction fans. I am just probably not the guy for that job.

Anyway, the whole thing was a really weird experience which is exactly why I took the assignment. So yeah, well worth it to trek all the way up to 74th st. to the Beacon Theater for a matinee show even if it didn’t seem like it at noon on a Saturday.

Fucking Bullshit, My Birthday & Zombies!

Tomorrow is an exciting day! I am celebrating my birthday, my band is playing and zombies are taking over Brooklyn!

The Brooklyn Zombie crawl is tomorrow starting out at 6pm from Trash Bar and wondering all over Brooklyn until it ends up at Public Assembly around 9pm for an after party that you cannot miss. If you don’t know about the New York zombie crawls you just need to do a search of my website. They are insane. But the real insanity doesn’t happen until the zombies get to Public Assembly.

My band Fucking Bullshit is playing punk rock covers to a packed house of zombies for what will no doubt be our greatest show. I will be wildly drunk because I am celebrating my birthday and I will be in rare form. You cannot miss this shit. Seriously if you ever see a Fucking Bullshit show this should be the one to see.

The whole after party should be insane. It starts at 9pm and Andy Shaw’s band Bikini Carwash is opening. My band goes on at 9:45pm and then it’s just a fleet of naked zombie girls doing all manor of things after that. There is zombie burlesque and the infamous Strip for Pain.  If you want to see Burning Angels naked in real life instead of just on the internet you need to show up. There will be PBR and Sailor Jerry drink specials and I can probably hook it up with free booze if you bother me enough. The whole thing is going to be a shit show.

The after party is $15 or $12 if you come dressed as a zombie but I assure you it will be more than worth it. You got cheap drinks, punk rock covers and a lot of zombie boobs. You need this shit in your life.

Come wish me happy birthday and try not to die.

2012 Tisch Gala – 4.19.12

Last month I shot NYU’s Tisch School of the Arts yearly fundraiser the Tisch Gala. It’s the third time I have shot the event and it’s always a good time and always a star studded affair. This year was no different with Tisch honoring Mary Campbell’s 20 years of service to Tisch. Alec Baldwin, Martin Scorcese, Tony Kushner and others spoke about Mary and many other celebrities came too honor Dean Campbell and help the school raise money.

I shot the reception before the event and the after party and got to eat an amazing meal in between so I was pretty psyched. I unfortunately didn’t get to take Scorcese’s photo which made me cry a little inside but I did get some shots of Alec Baldwin, Bill Paxton and Tony Kushner as well as some sweet shots of Dean Campbell dancing her ass off.

Lou Charmelle

When I was in Vegas in January I met a French adult actress named Lou Charmelle. She was living in LA and we talked about taking photos some time. I was in LA a month later and I hit her up. Unfortunately she was getting ready to move and she was trying to shoot a bunch of video content before she left town so she was too busy to shoot. The next day I drove out to the Valley to shoot one of my favorite models, Lily LaBeau.  When I got there she texted me and told me that she couldn’t let me in right away because her roommate was shooting a porn scene in the living room.  Ten minutes later it was over and I came up to the apartment. Much to my surprise her roommate was Lou Charmelle.

After Lily and I finished shooting (photos coming soon!) Lou was just hanging out naked in the living room waiting for another guy to come over to shoot another scene. I suggested we try to do a photo shoot really quickly while she was waiting and she was game. She threw some underwear on and I took a bunch of pictures of her on her couch. The whole shoot took less than 20 minutes. Fortunately the light was lovely and Lou is a fantastic model so we got some shots I am really happy with. I don’t think I realized how great they were until I edited them on Monday months after we shot.

So yeah, you need to check out these pics. They are pretty great and of course NSFW. Enjoy.

Hannibal Buress Animal Furnace Party – 5.20.12

Sunday night Comedy Central premiered Hannibal Buress’ first hour long stand up special “Hannibal Buress Animal Furnace”. Hannibal decided to throw a party at the Knitting Factory in Brooklyn to celebrate the special.

The sold out party opened up with Hannibal hosting an amazing stand up show. Amy Schumer opened up and although I had never seen her before she absolutely killed it. My boy Donald Glover went on after her and did what he said was his first stand up set in like nine months. He was brilliant as always and talked a little about his role on season two of Girls.  I mention this only so I can plug my cameo on Girls next episode. I play “Mustache Guy”. Get excited. After Donald Morgan Murphy came up and I have had a fake crush on her for like the last 7 years. I saw her about a month before I moved to NYC and I’ve run into her a half dozen times since and she is always fucking hilarious. Aziz Ansari headlined the comedy show and proved why he is one of the biggest comedians to come out of the NYC downtown comedy scene. Years ago, before Aziz was on TV or hanging with Kanye I think a lot of people knew he was going to make it. He would kill it every time he hit the stage and I think he’s only gotten better and better. I was close to crying during his set.

After the comedy show Hannibal showed a documentary he made leading up the taping of his special. I was running around a little bit while they showed it but the parts I saw were funny and at times touching. The documentary is a special feature of the Animal Furnace DVD and is going to be available online.  After the documentary screened Hannibal finally played his Comedy Central special. Hannibal is one of the funniest comics in New York and Animal Furnace was fantastic. People had been standing up for hours before the special even started and everyone was glued to the screen watching and laughing their asses off.

Sunday just happened to be the premier of The Eric Andrew Show on Adult Swim as well and Hannibal is the co-host so at 12:30am he played that live. Adult Swim is known for their insane programing but the Eric Andrew show is one of the weirdest things I have ever seen. It reminds me of the Tom Green Show before Tom Green was om MTV. It is filmed like a cable access show and is bizarrely funny.

Lastly the homies Ninjasonik closed out the night with a live performance. Most people there came to see comedy and had been standing up for nearly five hours and bounced before the Ninjas went on but there was still a good group of friends and fans left and they put on a great show with guest  spots from Johnny Nelson and Starcity.

Overall I cannot tell you how psyched I was that Hannibal thought of me to shoot his party. He even tipped me (he was possibly drunk) but I would have shot this show for free. Despite it being a really long night it was one of the better events I have been to this year. So go buy Hannibal’s awkwardly named special or just watch it however one might go about doing such a thing. I assure you it is funny.

Ladies Ladies Tattoo Art Show – 5.17.12

On Thursday night Tattoo Culture in Williamsburg held an art opening called Ladies Ladies that features the art work of all female tattoo artists. I looked at the list of artists and realized three of my tattoo artists were in the show. Tattoo Culture is a short walk from my house so I had to stop by. Tattooing is an industry dominated by men but due to some strange coincidences I have been tattooed by five women and although I have been tattooed by more men the women make the bulk of the art on my body.

Katie Davis and Betty Rose, both in the show, tattooed everything on my left arm and my other artist  Minka Sicklinger gave me one of my favorite tattoos ever and is going to be tattooing my entire chest soon. Katie lives in Richmond, VA so she wasn’t at the show but Betty and Minka were and it was awesome to see them as always.

The show was really good and it’s still up at Tattoo Culture if you want to check it out but there will be less badass tattooed babes hanging out since you missed the opening. You should probably go anyway and then just look at my photos for the badass babes.

Kimberly Kane

I have two announcements to make it this post. The first is that my site seems to be working finally. And the second is that I have a girlfriend for the first time in four years and her name is Kimberly Kane.

My site has finally switched fully over to Constant Hosting. Those guys have been awesome and I cannot thank them enough for helping us with my site’s problems. Next step is working on the new design and I just got off the phone with both my designer and back end guy and my new site is well on it’s way to becoming a reality.

In other news I have been seeing the amazing Kimberly Kane since January and we just made our relationship official which is really adorable. I have known Kimberly for a while but when I photographed her for the first time I realized how amazing she is as a human. I don’t think I have ever had so much fun shooting a girl and we talked for maybe an hour after the shoot before she had a meeting she had to deal with. We didn’t really talk after that but I ran into her in Vegas when we were both there for the AVN Awards and we hung out non stop the rest of the weekend. She came to visit me in New York in April and last week I went out to LA to visit her. I stayed with her for eight days and on the last night I asked her to be my girlfriend.

Aside from being a beloved adult film actress and director she is also an amazing photographer. She currently has a fashion layout she shot in Vice, she just shot the newest Mishka lookbook and she has a pretty sick Tumblr. She also has a web show on Vice.com that was shot years ago and is just running now (which explains why she has a boyfriend in it that is not me). On top of all that she has her own Clips4Sale store where you can buy super creepy videos of her yelling at you about how small your penis is or sitting on peoples faces or whatever fetishists are into these days. You should buy some so she can afford more plane tickets to NYC.

So anyway, I am notoriously single and haven’t had an official girlfriend since 2007 so this whole thing is a big change for me but I am super excited about it. But I promise I will shut the fuck about it and not be one of those annoying friends of yours who Tweet non stop about their significant other. I also promise that I will take lots of naked photos of her and post them on my Tumblr whenever possible.  Speaking of naked photos, when I was visiting her I took a bunch of photos of her on her couch. I also shot her with Kory Minx from Gods Girls, but I will get to those photos later. For now I have this awesome NSFW set of my lady hanging out on a couch which you should look at and be super envious of my amazingly radical porn star girlfriend.

Kelly Anne Chaos

So as per my last update my site is almost functional again. The site should work now just fine but a lot of stuff is missing. I have more then 30 gigs of photos to reupload and that shit is taking forever. I had lunch with my web guy yesterday and we are gonna be moving forward with a new redesign once this transition to a new host is complete. My hope is that by sometime in July this site will be 100% more amazing. Thanks for your patience while we get this site working like we all deserve…

So yeah I need to get some pictures up! It’s been a minute. I got a chance to shoot Kelly Anne Chaos last time I was in LA and we did this photo shoot in her bathroom and then we ate wings. I am now back in LA and I just ate at that very same wing place a few ago and I decided I needed to finally get these pictures up. Kelly is a Burning Angel I met in Vegas at this years AVN Awards. She is super tall and was wearing wildly high heels and I decided I had to shoot her. When I got to her place it was a bit too dark to shoot anywhere except in her bathroom which was just like a glowing white light. The sun came in and bounced all over everything and it seemed like a perfect place to shoot. The only problem was the the light was in her eyes and the sun was lowering fast and we only had about 20 minutes before the bright light went to no light. We worked quick and got some fun shots and then ate like kings.

Also, just as a warning, I know that when I post heavily body moded people people tend to talk shit about the girl in the comments.  Just know if you say any bullshit about Kelly and her piercings I will delete that shit instantly. Stop talking shit about women, especially ones that give you free boobs.

So click here and enjoy the NSFW gallery of Kelly Anne Chaos.

Site Is Back Up, Almost

The past few days I’ve been working on rolling the entire site over to a new server. We are about 90% up and running, and hopefully in the next couple days the entirety of the photo galleries will become active. Until then, please bear with me if you are searching for something particular and run across an ‘Under Construction’ banner.

If you feel compelled to help me cover the costs of this new server, I’d really appreciate it. If you have enjoyed my site and want to help make it functional then please donate $5 or $20 or something to help with all this shit. If you want to donate more and get something out of it, I will make an 11″x14″ print of damn near any photo on this site for $100. That offer is good for just this month. I can do bigger prints too so if you want something else let me know.
