I spent a few hours today working on my topless Polaroid book. I probably haven’t talked about it on here in a while, but I have photographed hundreds of topless girls on Polaroid over the last 8 years. Not all of them have given me permisson to use theirs so I am somewhat limited, but I still have a ton to choose from. I am picking the best photos and writing a story about each girl and making it into a book. That will hopefully get published some how. Anyway, it has probably been up for a while, but I just noticed that a few of my polaroids were uploaded to the French website 50 Rooms. It is a pretty respected site as far as dirty Polaroids are concerned, so I am quite happy to be up there. In celebration here are a few newer topless polaroids that are not quite going to to make it into my book.

Today is the exact 10 year anniversary of me losing my virginity. In celebration of this fact I am posting a project that I have been working on for a while. I was not thinking about today when I started the project, but when I realized what it was, I thought that this was a perfect time to post it. Enjoy.

On a recent drive through the neighborhood I grew up in I realized that most of the strong feelings that I had were a result of a nostalgia directly related to a more innocent feeling of women and my own sexuality that I had when growing up in Alexandria, VA. I wanted to do a photo project on this and take some images of the spots that gave me the most tingles. I decided to use Polaroid film because it’s number one use is taking dirty pictures of people. My relationship with the film has also been a sleazy one as 95% of the pictures I have taken using the medium have been of naked girls. I though documenting my early sex life would be a perfect reason to use Polaroids to do something other than take naked pictures, yet to still play on the sexual identity of the medium.

I lived in Alexandria from 1980 to 1999. These were my formative years and they were they determined the way I dealt with women. When I was a kid I was very weird and had no luck with girls. This was not really an issue until I transfered to a private school outside my neighborhood in the 4th grade. From that point on I was in school with the same people for the next 9 years. The first week of 4th grade I made a joke about eating a praying mantis and that haunted me for the rest of my time at the school. At my old school eating bugs was funny, at my new school it was weird. From then on I was the weird kid… and then the fat kid, and then the weird kid kid again when I started getting into punk rock my freshman year of high school. I eventually started working out, lost all the weight and starting in about the 10th grade I really came into myself and started acting confidently. I stopped getting beat up at school, but I still had no luck with girls, because even then I was still viewed as the weird kid who ate bugs. As soon as I met girls outside of school, that changed forever. I have spent the last decade of my life trying to make up for my short comings as a kid and that has left me perpetually single and probably a bit more promiscuous than is healthy. But my unhealthy relationship with women started slowly and those more innocent times bring back amazing memories and that’s what this project is all about. Working thorough those early sexual encounters and finding out what the fuck went wrong.

I decided only to include stories and images from directly around my old neighborhood. Many of the important events in my life happened outside this little area as my school and all my high school hang out points were farther away. That being said, this is the most concentrated area and because of that, being in these few square miles gives me the strongest sense of my past, both of my life and specifically of my early sexuality

This project can be viewed by visiting the Google Map I made. Each map point has a Polaroid and a description of why that photo is important. The map points are listed in chronological order and should be read in that order. I hope you enjoy the project, I spent way too much time on it.

Update: Due to the amount of interest that this post has received, if you are linking this, please link this post and not the map directly, as the explanation of the project is important to it, and the google map did not allow me enough space to get all my thoughts down. Also, if you dig this, Digg it.

I was thinking about calling this post The Death Of An Icon, or The Death Of The American Dream.  Because that’s what this is.  Polaroid has stopped making… Polaroids.  Wtf?  Even if they are not making a lot of money on the product, the brand recognition is so important.  I can’t imagine there loss or revenue that would be caused by the loss of the film and the loss of the word Polaroid in modern parlance.   Anyway, the NY Times article about it suggests that they are going to try to sell off the rights to their instant film line so that maybe someone will pick up the ball they dropped and run with it.

Anyway, anything I can say was probably better said by my friend Joanna on her blog entry that first notified me of this travesty.   So just read her post.

I have been working on my Polaroid Project(NSFW) for 8 years now that involves over 150 girls and I am currently working on turning it into a book.  I guess this death of Polaroids is a fitting place to stop the collection and put out the book.   I just shot a full roll or Polaroids yesterday… this can’t be over.

I actually really want to document all of my shoes with Polaroid film… Check out my first attempt below.

My Polaroid Project continues with a blast from the past. Except for the girl who gave me my first Polaroid camera, this was the first Polaroid that I ever took. I called this girl Joan for years because I thought she looked like Joan Cusack. Last time I saw her she was working in a Volvo dealership outside of DC. She sold me a new muffler or something. Click her for the NSFW picture.

Here are some more photos. I am fucking going to sleep.

This is the last time I mention the debauchery that was my birthday. I mentioned these pictures would be NSFW and they are, unfortunately two of the girls who were naked in these photos, decided to think better of things and won’t let me post them. I took half these photos with my Yashica T4 which died on me. I think I was just too drunk to figure out how to work it. The rest were taken with a shitty digital camera which during the night i cracked the screen. So fuck. Here are some photos.

And as promised some making out stories.

The first girl I kissed was not at my party. I met her on Wednesday and we hit it off. She told me her work had an open bar and I should come and drink before I went out. The only problem was it took me so long to get out there that I missed the open bar and she was busy. She kissed me quickly for my troubles and the count began. I called her the next day to hang out and we sort of got into an argument and I am not sure if she is still talking to me. I hope she does.

The last girl I kissed was so pretty. She told me she was a fan of my site and that I took a really horrible picture of her. I just wanted to stay with her, but I made plans to leave and I was out of control. I gave her my real card, the one with my number on it, not the one I hand to strangers, and I really hope she calls me.

One girl I just saw in line, and I was so drunk I just walked up to her and started hitting on her. I turned to the guy she was with to ask if I could hit on her. She said yes and after I snuck them in the club, we made out.

At some point I made out with a girl and when I was done I asked her her name. She told me that we had met many times and that I had taken her picture before and that we had made out before. I still have no idea who she is. I am out of control.

Then there was the girl I met at Motherfucker. She seems so amazing. It was her birthday too. She doesn’t drink like me and shes really fun anyway. She had a friend who’s name clearly begins with a J but he insisted it begins with a G. I kept telling her that despite me making out with 20+ people that she was the only one that I wanted to see in “real life”. I am not sure if that is true, but I do hope I get to see her again. I think she had fun.

Anyway, that is that, on to the pictures. What a crazy night.

I’ve had a Polaroid of Ariel for a while, but she was very against her boobs going up on a web site until she wanted them to go up. She is about to blow up in the Alt Porn scene doing sets for BA, Fatal Beauty and possibly Razordolls soon. She also has done a test shoot with Penthouse and is going in in August for her real shoot with them. But just remember, before you saw her there, you saw her here first. Ladies and gentlemen, let me introduce you to Ariel’s boobs. Click Here for NSFW content.

PS. Notice there is no more nudity on the front page. This will be from now on. I want you to be able to look at this site anywhere. (Even though if you try to look at it at work or in the UAE it is probably blocked by your job.)

PPS. Ariel and I share the same birthday so tonight at Rififi we are having a joint birthday party as I am sure you know by now because I have blogged about it like 5 times.  See you there.

Actually, it is an old one.  My friend wouldn’t let me put up her Polaroid until she  saw my project linked on Fleshbot.  And since today Fleshbot linked my BA Girls page, I figure I should post her up today in honor.  Or something…

Last stop of the night was Six Six Sick at Happy Endings. My flash ran out of batteries because I thought it would be a good idea to buy generic batteries at Wallgreens. I tried to focus in the dark, but to little success, so I just went home. My friend Liz was visiting and she was snoring in my room so I had to sleep on the couch. I wouldn’t even bother looking at these photos if you weren’t there. I am sure Nicky (see below) has better ones. But I am a pessimist, maybe they are okay. I did realize that the guy behind me at the Post Office today was at this party… Hmm… Check Please.

My boy’s Greenland got a little write up on You Ain’t No Picasso. Those guys rule, check out the post, and .

New Polaroid Project photo! Totally radical! Check the rest!

Adult Drawing is a party where everyone sits in a circle and draws Burning Angels.  I am not really happy with these photos. Every single person there had a camera and was taking photos and it was just not really my scene. I had fun but I focused mostly on doing mini photo shoots with the girls when they weren’t posing. I got some good stuff that will go up next week. I just think the other shots I took that night were sort of sub par.  Oh well, click for photos.

Alex English turned older at M @ The Annex last night.  Some guy yelled at me for taking a picture of him so I deleted it, accidentally deleting all the pictures in the process. Luckily I restored most of the images.  I missed a few and some got screwed up, but I got most of it.  I met this cute girl (below) who showed me her stomach, but she made a weird face in every picture so you might not be able to tell that she is cute.  Blame her, not me.  I am not the type of photographer who goes around making people look pretty!

PHOTO REMOVED…

January from Burning Angel let me take this at the BA DVD release party for Cum On My Tattoo 3.

So for Fleshbot folks… if you want to see more of my photography, including more nudes, click here. Oh, my party pics here.  And I update this site all the time, so check back daily.

So up to this point, I have not linked my Polaroid Project on this site. That changes today. When I was 19 my girlfriend at the time went to Hawaii for several weeks. As a going away present she bought me a Polaroid camera and let me take naked pictures of her before she left. This was of course before digital photography. Anyway she told me that I could take Polaroids of any girl I wanted to as long as I didn’t touch them. This was her strange way of keeping me faithful while she was gone. Strangely it worked and since then I have taken Polaroids of most of my friends, lovers and a few random strangers. Each Polaroid points to specific points in my life and they are very important to me. I think they are the most important art I have ever done, and led me towards my Awkward Nudes series which I will show you guys at some point. Anyway, last Saturday Joanna Angel of Burning Angel let me take this photo of her at her DVD release party. Anyway, enjoy the project.
