New Road Strip W/ Charlotte Stokely!

There’s a new Road Strip episode up on Wood Rocket and it is the first episode to feature Charlotte Stokely! Charlotte is pretty much my favorite model ever and is an amazingly fun person to have on a road trip. I loved all the girls I brought along (or they wouldn’t have been part of this project!) but I booked the trip around Charlotte’s schedule. I picked her up on Saint Louis after my adventure with Theresa Manchester and had her for three days of Route 66 road trip fun! In this first episode you get to see amazing silica mining caves in Missouri and a bunch of gratuitous footage of Stokely taking a shower in a St. Louis motel shitty motel. It’s pretty fun.

I had a bunch of unpublished 35mm pictures of Stokely ready for this update but I am on vacation until Wednesday so I only have time to do a quick update today so you just get the video, BUT I had time to upload the pictures to the Girls of DBB App! So enjoy them over there if you have signed up to my app, but the rest of you cheap bastards will have to wait until the next episode comes out!

Personally I can’t wait for the next episode… I haven’t seen it yet, but Charlotte and I went on some epic adventures an I am sure it’s gonna be amazing.

Now click below to see the newest (Very NSFW!) episode of Road Strip featuring Charlotte Stokely!

Nightswim – 6.24.14

Sorry for the terrible lack of updates. I was in LA for a week and right now I am on a bus headed for DC and then on to Lewes, DE for a yearly fishing trip. It’s pretty much my only actual vacation so I am hoping to update a couple times while I am on the bus so I can just auto post this weekend. Anyway, LA was a ton of fun and one of the highlights was Nightswim and I have pictures. So enjoy.

On my last night in LA I went down to the Roosevelt Hotel for Nightswim. I photographed the party years ago and I have been a couple more times. Every time I have had a blast and ran into a ton of people that I know. I can’t think of a party in NYC where I would know more people. Plus this particular Nightswim was an IHeartComix takeover and my friends Franki Chan and Jules from the Dum Dum Girls were DJing. Plus my friend Annaliese from Gods Girls hosts the night through her fun social site Crushee. So I knew there would be a bunch of babes there… and there were!

I ran into Jenna Valentine, Angel Beau, Zoe Voss, Claire Robbins, and did a mini photo shoot there with Lauren WK. So yeah, this gallery is NSFW. I also ran into Maddox, Shark Toof, Jonny Radtke, Tyliner, Dan Keys and my Gathering of the Juggalos pal Tech N9ne! Plus more friends, more babes and tons of swimming.

I did leave the party a bit early but it was so I could pick Raven Rockette up so we could take photos on the roof of the Superchief gallery as the sun came up. By the time I got on the plane I had only slept three hours in more than two days. I went home and ended up sleeping 14 straight hours. But fortunately I am now reanimated and headed to the beach. See you guys soon.

Ashlee Graham

Hi kids. Check out these lovely photos of my pal Ashlee Graham. I met her at AVN in January and she got really drunk and told me I should take photos of her so when we were both back in LA I did just that. The sun was setting so I rushed over to her place but I couldn’t figure out where the hell she lived so she had to come out and get me and by the time we got into her place the sun was taking a nose dive. This lack of light gave me the perfect excuse to try out my new fast 28mm lens that lets in ton of extra light and I got to take some photos of her in her kitchen. It was a fantastic time for everyone involved.

Also I took a bunch of extra dirty photos of her for some reason so they all ended up on the Girls of Driven By Boredom App because they are far too fun to give you guys for free. I mean clearly you guys want to keep paying for my increasingly expensive coffee and caffeine pill habit right? Let’s get excited!

By the way I am headed to LA today (honestly I am probably on a plane right now depending on when I post this thing) and I won’t be back for a week but then I leave again to go on my yearly fishing vacation. The whole thing is incredibly exciting obviously, but whatever the case it means I will be gone a lot. Luckily for you I have a couple updates ready to go so you won’t miss me too much, but if you do I will be of course updating my newish Instagram account, my Tumblr and the love of my life, my Twitter. In the mean time look at Ash Graham naked.

Brain Delay @ Citi Field – 6.13.14

The New York Mets held “Zombie Night” on Friday to celebrate Friday the 13th. Of course they got the NYC Zombie Crawl people involved and since I decided recently  I want to try to put together a book of my NYC Zombie Crawl photos I figured a zombie takeover of a Mets game would be perfect for the book. Unfortunately right as I left my apartment to head over to Citi Field it started pouring rain. By the time I got to my subway transfer in Queens it was raining so hard that water was leaking through the ceiling and on to the escalator. I was pretty sure the game was going to be canceled.

When I got there it was still pouring and I ended up getting drenched trying to get my ticket from head zombie Doug Sakmann. When we finally got in we found a small group of zombies, many of whom had already lost their makeup due to the rain. Doug set up a quick zombification station and hooked people up with some extra blood and guts. Still, the hundred plus zombies they were expecting was down to about two dozen and I am honestly surprised that many showed up. When the rain delay finally ended I went up to my seats and noticed that nearly no one was even in the upper deck of the stadium. There were probably only a couple thousand people in the whole place and instead of one big section full of zombies everyone just sort of snuck into way better seats around the stadium.

Essentially I traveled 45 minutes and got stuck in pouring rain to eat at Shake Shack and take handful photos of a dozen zombies. I watched two innings before getting the hell out of there. Not only is baseball tedious, but I have no investment whatsoever in the Mets or the Padres and it was nearly 10pm and I figured I could do something better with a Friday night. I did see a home run before I left which was kinda cool but not as cool as say eating a fried chicken sandwich with a cute girl which is what I did shortly after leaving the game.

So click here to see a few photos of the New York Mets Friday the 13th “Zombie Night” promotion at Citi Field.

Wedding Photography

I took my first photo class when I was 15 and I don’t think I have gone more than a week or two without taking photos since. I think I was still in high school when I made a vow “I will never shoot weddings, high school portraits, or babies.” For dumb some reason I have decided to stick to that vow despite being offered plenty of high paying wedding gigs. Meanwhile my friends are off photographing weddings on tropical islands for thousands of dollars. So it’s probably a dumb move, but I won’t sell out! (What’s that Igor? You won’t sell out? You are shooting a fucking cigarette ad tomorrow you asshole!) That being said, two of my four closest friends got married in May and while I didn’t actually work the wedding I did take some photos!

I have four best friends (Barry, Jamie, Sam and Tom) and I met them all in the same 5th grade class room more than 20 years ago. I didn’t think any of them would get married much less two of them in the same month, but it happened. Tom got married in Oxford, Mississippi the first weekend of May and Barry got married in Richmond, VA the last weekend of May. They didn’t invite each other to their weddings but Jamie, Sam and I traveled to both, having exciting adventures along the way.

Barry’s wedding happened on a farm near Richmond and was not quite the adventure that Tom’s was. I grew up in DC about 90 minutes from Richmond and I lived there for five years so the thrill is gone. That’s not to say that Richmond isn’t an underrated city, I just would have no problem never going there again, ever. Highlights of the weekend included seeing my parents dog, watching Barry do karaoke in what must have been the tamest bachelor party ever, and getting an old tattoo touched up by my old pal Katie Davis. The wedding itself was on my friend Jeff’s farm and was very lovely. My old friends the Atkinsons and the Ex-Patriots played music, there was swimming and a bonfire and I didn’t even have to wear a tie. Fantastic.

Tom got married in Oxford, Mississippi which sounded like a terrible idea but ended up being pretty awesome. Turns out the closest airport to Oxford is in Memphis and Jamie, Sam and I got to spend a pretty amazing day in Memphis. I am generally not one for touristy stuff but I am a HUGE Elvis fan and somehow I had never seen Graceland so that was #1 on my list. We ended up packing an unreasonable amount of shit into one day. We hit Graceland first, then got some of the best BBQ ribs I have ever had at Cozy Corner then we hit Sun Studios. After that we headed down town and saw the famous duck walk at the Peabody Hotel. When we got there there was like two hundred people there to see some ducks which I thought was insane, but honestly it was underrated. Watching ducks take an elevator is one of the greatest things ever. We then walked down to the Mississippi river and then walked down Beale Street before walking right into FedEx Forum where the Memphis Grizzlies were about to play the Oklahoma City Thunder in game six of a playoff series. We ended up getting tickets for $33. The whole thing was pretty amazing.

The next day we headed to the wedding but we first stopped off at Graceland Too which is just a guys house. It is open 24 hours a day seven days a week. If he doesn’t come to the door when you knock, just knock louder. It’s an intensely surreal experience and so worth the $5 entry fee. Paul McLeod is an incredible character and will talk your ear off about his entire life basically. You will learn a lot more about him than Elvis but honestly he is nearly as interesting as Elvis. The whole thing reaches a terrifying note when he pulls his gun out of his pocket, but try to enjoy it. I know I did. I can’t wait to go back.

That night we partied at some sort of awful Ole Miss campus bar and spent the next day checking out the town of Oxford. I got to see William Faulkner’s house which I didn’t actually have any desire to see, but it certainly lived up to those expectations. At least the woods around the house were pretty. The wedding was also on a farm and was beautiful as well. Much more formal but everyone got wasted and the food was fucking insanely good. Maybe the best catfish I have ever had. I also ate half of a pecan pie out of the tray like a savage.

The whole point of all this story telling was that I have some wedding photos to post. Really they are just photos of our wedding adventures with a few wedding photos thrown in the mix. I realize I didn’t even take a photo of Tom and his wife together. I mean I instagramed them but that doesn’t really count. Whatever the case I have a bunch of photos for you to look at and they were all shot on 35mm film if you care about such things.

So click here to see my 35mm “wedding photos” from Tom & Barry’s wedding weekends.

New Road Strip! Theresa Manchester In Me St. Louis

Missouri is the “Show Me” state and no one better to show me Missouri than St. Louis native Theresa Manchester! When I was on my Route 66 road trip Theresa just happened to be back in her old home town and couldn’t wait to show me all her city had to offer! This new episode of my Wood Rocket web serious Road Strip is a really fun one! 

The highlight was going to the City Museum. It’s one of the most amazing places I have ever been. It’s a massive art project that takes over an entire building with tons of slides and weird things for kids to play on and a Ferris Wheel on the roof! We shot all over the place until we got caught shooting naked photos… They actually were quite nice about it and didn’t even kick us out. They just asked us to not get caught again. Theresa also hurt her butt on one of the slides on the roof. She still has a scar from it nearly a year later!

We also shot in front of the famous Gateway Arch and a few other places that didn’t make the video. She also took me to get some pretty good food and some serious frozen custard at the famous Ted Drewes. Not all of this is in the video, but it was a ton of fun. Theresa is one of my favorite people to shoot and hang out with so it was a great day. After you are doing watching the new episode of Road Strip  you can check out this gallery of Theresa in St. Louis or go check out Girls of DBB to see even more stuff from the trip.

Next up on Road Strip – Three days with Charlotte Stokely! But in the mean time click here to watch this episode of Road Strip with Theresa Manchester!

Yan Returns

Yan is one of the most unique looking humans I know and she also looks pretty rad naked so it seemed like a good idea to take naked photos of her. So I did. I shot naked pics of Yan on my friends roof. Unfortunately we got caught by a neighbor, fortunately he was cool with us shooting there, unfortunately he just watched us shoot and was mildly creepy so we wrapped up pretty quickly.

Yan hit me up recently and thought we should shoot again. It seemed like a pretty good idea so when she was in the neighborhood I had her swing by. The plan was to hit the streets and do some public nude stuff but she wanted to take a shower first. Obviously when naked models are showering in your apartment the only reasonable thing to do is take photos. By the time she was done with her shower we were done with a shoot and then instead leaving my apartment to take more photos she went home and I took a nap. And that’s why I get paid the big bucks.

Click here to see the NSFW photos of Yan I took in my shower!

And as always there are some bonus (and higher resolution shots) on the Girls of Driven By Boredom mobile app!
