Vacation is going okay.  I haven’t seen anyone in three days, and I have gotten a very minimal amount of work done, but I have been waking up early in the morning and I have been getting a reasonable amount of sleep.  I cleaned my room a bit and submitted some photos to a web project.  Still, I have really have not accomplished much.  I think that if I can keep this waking up early thing going on, I will have no choice but to get some shit done this weekend.  Tonight I am going out, hopefully I will see you guys at Rebel as I need a little bit of adventure.  Then it is back to solitude through the weekend.  Anyway, I keep watching this video of Burt and Ernie rapping to M.O.P. so I guess you should probably watch it too… at least once.   Ante up motherfucker.

After my spell of exhaustion or whatever, I spent most of today asleep. This was not the plan, I had things to do. But I didn’t get out of my house until 5PM and then I was up until 8 and I took a nap and woke up at 1130PM. So, now I am pretty sure I will be up all night, but at least I will be able to get some shit done. Anyway, I start my week break from partying and girls and any sort of social life today. I will be spending every night, save Wednesday, working on getting my life together. Working on my Polaroid book, cleaning my apartment, working on the next version of this website, getting a portfolio together etc. I need to get some regular photo work so I can quit my day job. If anyone has any ideas, please let me know. Anyway, I would NEVER post something like what I am about to post, but it has to be done. I am allergic to cats and I have never been a fan of such things as this, but it just has to be done. This is the best funny cats video I have ever seen, so rejoice in its cuteness. Embrace the fluff. I love you all.

PS. I will be updating this site, just not with party photos, except the BYTE photos from last week that will be up tomorrow. Sorry for the delay.

As the trendsetter/ early adapter that I am I have to let you guys know that the newest trend to hit the streets is the “Half-Stache”. The raw power of this ’stache is so intense that not once but twice yesterday did beautiful women interrupt my fried chicken dinner to discuss my brilliant and brave facial hair choice with me last night. I am so sure of this new trends amazing power that I will make this promise. Anyone who rocks a respectable Half-Stache for 7 full days and sends me some sort of photographic proof, I will send you a DBB t-shirt whenever I get around to finally getting them printed. It will be sweet. I am not sure what the over/under is for how long I keep this, but please, but amongst yourselves.

Second small thing of note, although much less important, you may have come here looking for some photos from Byte on Sunday, Happy Endings on Tuesday or High Voltage last night and you have found nothing. This is because I am suffering from what might be known as exhaustion. I wake up at 1pm everyday, leave work at 2, get home from work at midnight, go out and shoot, get home at 5, work on this website until 8am and then start over. This is killing me. I did not get any sleep last night due to a friend taking mushrooms and not being able to make it home due to the fact that she thought she was in Tokyo and that all the taxi cabs had become alligators. Long story short is that after this weekend I am taking a week break from party photos except for the Jump party that I agreed to shoot weeks ago (more on that later). The photos from the aforementioned parties will be up tomorrow or Saturday. See you then.

Long live the Half-Stache!

UPDATE: Read the comments section of this post for the Half-Stache controversy!

That I have about 5 or 6 updates ready to go up, I just haven’t had time to get them up.  I am taking tonight off, and things should be up late tonight.

In the mean time I wanted to post this clip.  I have been holding onto it for a while now, waiting for an excuse to post it.  It is probably the greatest sports highlight I have ever seen.  A female streaker hits a shot from 30 feet out.  It is sort of amazing.  It is slightly NSFW as the girl who kicks the goal is in fact naked, but it is not really that bad, and it is really that amazing.

So I just switched to the newest version of Word Press.  So far I am not really happy with it, it takes me longer to upload photos and yesterday it deleted half a post, which may not have been its fault.  Not sure yet.

The one thing I do like is the Mp3 widget that lots of blogs have been using but for some reason I could not get to work on my old version of WP.  This is nice.  I like it.  The one problem is that it went and automatically converted all my linked text mp3s to these little flash things.  The problem with that is now on all mp3 posts previous to this one the MP3s are not label.  Other than that, it is great.

Okay, so now we get to the point of the post.  I wanted to post an Mp3.  I have been listening to the new Girl Talk album a lot and it reminds me about how when I first saw Girl Talk play with the Gaskets in 2004 or something at the Delancey I immediately thought about this Bit Meddler song Shitmix 2000 which was just this giant mash up of all these late 80’s early 90’s songs.  Then when listening to his new album I heard his song Like This it again reminded me of Shitmix.

So yeah download both songs and spin them at your party.

One of my favorite Werner Herzog shorts, God’s Angry Man, is available on YouTube. It is broken up into 5 parts and the first part is posted below. You can check out the rest of it here. It is about 45 min long and pretty much amazing. It is an interview with a hate filled televangelist who by the end of the film you almost feel sorry for, or at least feel some connection with. Part 5 has my favorite part in the movie where he mocks the FCC by running around hitting toy monkeys on the head. I don’t think I can possibly explain how great it is, and I am not sure you can fully appreciate it without watching the rest of the movie, so please do.

Read my review of it from the first time I saw it here.

I updated my Frequently Asked Questions page on the site.  It was pretty much a year out of date.  The most important changes were a clarification of my photo take down policy and a defense of the naked photos on this site.  The other really important update was the ability to buy prints from this site.  I have been asked a few times recently if prints are available, the answer is yes they are.

At some point I am going to set up a store where buying prints will be easy, but until then just send me an email about what you want.  Prices are $25 for an 8″x10″ or $150 for a signed 11″x14″ C-Print.  The newer photos after I got a better camera will be available at 16″x20″ for slightly more depending on printing costs.  Smaller prints (4″x6″) are only available in bulk, say if you wanted to buy all the photos from one night, or something.  Going to get these printed has to be worth my time.  There may be some restrictions on what I will print, especially if they are nudes.  Contact me for details.  Please send me the URL of any pictures you want to get printed.

Anyway, you can read this rest of the FAQ here.  I would appreciate it if you did. 

For two days I have sat at my computer at 5 AM and tried to figure out what to blog about. I have been sick and not going out, so I don’t have pictures and I have a few bigger updates in mind that I was going to do this weekend and spread out throughout the week but I was sick so I didn’t. Now I am just sitting here thinking… thinking of anything… something… to… blog… about…. I promised no more throw away posts, but I can’t even come up with one of those. Woah is me.

For those of you looking for the Zombie Sideshow party photos, they will be on the Village Voice on Friday, and as soon as they go live on there I will post them on here.

In other news, I am actually going to get a bit of sleep today and I am going out tomorrow so there will be pictures and stuff by Wednesday and I got a new camera (D300) so things will be “experimental”.

I don’t know how to work it yet, but I will be doing some test shots tomorrow.

Blah blah blah. Here is the new ONN video. Eat it.

New Wearable Feedbags Let Americans Eat More, Move Less

For those who are wondering where the Trash Vs. Rated X Vs. Salvation Vs. Glamdammit photos are… or where the Zombie Sideshow party photos are I was shooting for the VillageVoice.com yesterday and I am waiting until they publish the galleries to put up my photos.  But I will let you know about that as soon as they are up.  There are a lot of extremely great, and extremely fucked up photos so get excited.

In the mean time, in celebration of this wondrous holiday here is one of the most awkward uncomfortable watch videos I have ever seen on YouTube.  I am pretty sure the troops would not want this wacky girls support, but they have it anyway.

Send the troops home, and this strange woman to Iraq.

Ps.  It is my birthday on Thursday and I am doing several things for it which you will be made aware of in the coming days, but FIRDAY at TRASH at 40C I will be getting drunk for the first time since New Years and it is sure to be a scene.  So mark it on your calendars now.

Now… Crank that awkward Asian woman…

While I don’t seem to be able to update my site right now, I can always make time for a half naked celebrity jumping off a cliff. Here are a bunch of naked photos of Lilly Allen just chilling.

On the site note. Not only do I not have any time to blog, but I am having severe problems with my gallery uploading software. I am not sure what is going to happen with that.

I am staying in tomorrow night to work just on the site and figure things out and catch up on sleep. So just hold your horses until then. I will get us up to speed some how. I love you tenderly.

It is instantly clear to me at 7AM this Tuesday morning that this website is going to suffer greatly at the hands of this new full time job. Just 8 hours after I completed my first day I realize that I got nothing done tonight… and I didn’t even take a picture. The idea is that I go out straight from work, take photos until like 3, go home, edit photos, upload photos, update site and be asleep by 7 am. It is now 7am and while I have edited all the photos I took Saturday night, I did not yet get them online, and I did not shoot anything. I didn’t have my camera on me when I got off work. I will tomorrow, but since I got nothing done tonight, why on Earth do I think I am going to be able to get anything done from 4-7 tomorrow. That is three hours to get two galleries up from Saturday, edit all the photos I take tonight, get them online and update again. Yikes. I need to streamline my work…. And I need an intern. That is no joke. If you want to be my intern, and know Facebook really well, basic HTML and are willing to work for college credit and drink tickets, let me know. Also, you can do almost all your work from home except some occasional night club stuff and maybe a few runs to the store. Being 21+ or having a reliable fake would be a bonus. Let me know soon, I hit up Craigslist next week.

Okay, off to bed as soon as I put watermarks on the Saturday skater party pictures so they will be ready for upload first thing tomorrow when I get back from party photoing.

Tuesday night update:  I did shoot some pretty fun photos tonight, but I got into some shit instead of coming home to do work, so once again it is nearly 7AM and I have nothing to show for it (although I will have edited the photos of tonight before I go to sleep).  I also paid a ticket.  And I had a lot of fun, and I have not done that for a bit.  Let’s see what happens tomorrow…

Have some Lulz courtesy of Defame: Orlando’s comment section and 15 more minutes of not going to sleep.

After months of half-assedly looking for jobs and eating nothing but peanut butter and jelly sandwiches and dwindling down my savings to nothing, I finally got a job.  Unfortunately I was looking for part time and despite my promising interview at Starbucks, I decided to take a full time job at the Internet Archive.  I am going to be photographing public domain books the archive.  I get to play with Cannon 5Ds everyday… sort of.  Well okay, I just press a space bar and the cameras shoot the book automatically, but it has more to do with photography than bar backing or something.  I was very interested in this job for two main reasons.  One is that it is from 3pm - 11-pm which means I can still do night life work and two is that I am extremely interested in sharing of information and getting all the public domain stuff available to everything.  As you might know, I have released many of my photos under a Creative Commons license, so that you can use some of my images for anything you want as long as credit is given and that your work is also released under a similar license.  The license for some of my images aslo state that they can only be used for non-commercial projects.  For more information on licensing any of my work, email me. Also another nice thing about the job is that it is right across the street from MOMA.  Plus you know, maybe I can start eating real food and buy some new camera equipment.

So the answer is yes, this is going to effect this site.  I start work Monday and I am going to try to maintain two posts a day instead of my normal goal of 3-4.  One thing this will do is cut down on some of my bullshit posts and allow me just to focus on photography and quality updates.  I have some good ideas in the works.  I am not sure how this is going to effect that new site design I am trying to work on.  I think the biggest issue with that is actually the health of my friend who is working on it.  She has diabetes and has been very sick recently.  Wish her luck and health.

Anyway, let’s see how this goes.  I am still on website break until Monday, but I start work Monday so who knows if I will be able to make it out on Monday night.  Hopefully party photos start rolling in again soon….

This is the 1000th post on DBB 3.0. I have no idea how many posts were posted in the previous versions of the site, but this is the 1000 since last March. In celebration of this milestone I would like to make this the most contentless post of this entire site so far.

Enjoy:

Sweet merciful lord. I woke up yesterday around noon after a few hours of sleep because I forgot to pick up my sleeping pills and had to take a bunch of tylenol PM instead. Then I did some shit and cleaned my apartment and updated this site and blah blah blah. Then I went to the Burning Angel party at Trash. I will just have to say that that was completely fucking insane. I am going to do a two part series, part one up tomorrow, and the really fucked up photos on Monday. I also have a girl/girl gallery that will be up as well. Anyway, the point was I was completely drained from the lack of sleep and my balls hurt from the naked girls and groping. So what did I do? I took a cab to Radio City Music Hall and stood in the rain until 9:30 AM waiting for tickets to see the NFL Draft. At 9:30 they opened the door and basically everyone started running full sprint at the door. Like 3000 people. It was insane, people got trampled etc. 2 hours later after being crushed by people I had a wristband. Then several hours of waiting in another line I got inside. From the time I left Trash to the time I got inside it had been 11 hours. Then I watched the draft until 10PM. It is now 10 o’clock, roughly 34 hours after I woke up. I want to die. GO DOLPHINS!

Real story and photos tomorrow.  Preview below.

Okay, so I am not really stuck. I just haven’t left yet. You see I am planning on driving back to New York and honestly the last thing I want to do is drive for 5 hours. Not that I want to be on a bus for that long, but at least then I could watch Human Giant episodes on my ipod. I also found a few reasons to stay an extra day.

1. Entourage Season 4 On Demand. My parents have this amazing entertainment system thing they just got and it has HBO on demand and I can watch it on a TV the size of my refrigerator. I just rewatched Entourage season 3 last week and was going to try to download season 4, yet here it is at my finger tips.
2. Washington Capitals hockey. I am going to try to watch game 7 of their play off series against the Flyers with some locals. Root root root for the home team. I don’t follow hockey during the regular season, but I fucking love hockey, especially when my team has one of the best players of all time playing in his first ever playoff series. Go Alex! (Wait till you see the Miami Dolphins/ Alex Ovechkin Onion video that will be up in a few days.)
3. I came up with a photo project that is documenting my nascent sexuality from 1980-1999 using Polaroid film to document locations in my neighborhood growing up that make me extremely nostalgic for a time before I started getting blow jobs in night club bathrooms from total strangers who are fans of my site.

Anyway, I will be back soon, I just wanted you to know a few of the amazing thing that happened to me whist I have been in Virginia.

• A female cardinal flew into my parents house. That is the state bird of VA. I was awoken to the sounds of my mother screaming and I had to run down and save her from it. She was flipping out and I barely had time to get pants on. I just opened a door and waved a towel at it.
• I saw a man in DC wearing a leather jacket with plaid shorts. Seriously dude, what the fuck?
• I saw a man shaving whilst driving. He had his whole face covered with shaving cream and he was shaving and then wiping the razor on a towel. Seriously, that is not a joke. My friend Wistar, who has a blog as well, wrote about both me, the wedding we were at, and the shaving guy. So read that shit right now.

Lastly, I leave you with this photo I took of my dad who I am visiting at the moment… click it to see a video of pretty much exactly what my experience in VA is like hanging out with my dad and his friends.
