On The Road With April O’Neil

I realize I am way behind on my road trip updates but better late than never. Since we last left I spent another day or two in LA and shot some random photos of Aiden Ashley, Draven Star and Abella Danger. All of them were shot with my on camera flash so I am not psyched about them enough to post them right this second but you will see some of em sooner or later.

So on Monday I took off towards San Francisco with April O’Neil. We took the Pacific Coast Highway and had a blast and took tons of photos on rocks and cliffs and fun stuff like that. We ended up in San Louis Obisbo, CA at the famous Madonna Inn and ate cake and went swimming and took photos in our pioneer themed room. I honestly can’t wait to find a reason to go back.

The next day we went to Santa Cruz and played pinball and hung out with a giant dead whale statue. Then we finally made it to San Francisco and played even more pinball. April is so into pinball that I have a pinball related injury now. We eventually got locked out of the place we were staying and April picked the lock because she is my hero.

The next morning April and I split up and I headed to the airport to pick up Lucy Everleigh. I have spent the last few days hanging out with Lucy and am currently in Seattle but I will post more about that shit later…

Until then here’s a few photos of April.

Three Days In LA

So I finally had a chance to look at some of the photos I have shot so far and do a quick update. I have been so fucking busy in LA between photos of babes, pool parties, exciting trips to the hospital and hanging out with my family. It’s been a fun and productive trip so far.

Day one I got to shoot Samantha Rone pretty much straight from the airport. Then I met up with Abella Danger who let me crash at her place and we went to visit my friend Frog aka Dances With White Girls in the hospital. Some drunk asshole hit him with a car while he was waiting for a fucking Uber. He seemed in good spirits and Abella and I brought him food and her butt so it was a good time.

Oddly enough I haven’t really taken any good digital photos of Abella while I have been in town but I have shot a bunch of random 35mm snap shots so hopefully I will get something good out of that.

On day two I spent most of it with Riley Reid. I have wanted to shoot her forever and we took a million photos and most of them were fucking awesome. I shot her at her place getting ready and then we shot in this terrifying tunnel we found and then on a bridge where she caused a traffic jam. Seriously I am not even joking about that. And then after that we shot in the trunk of my rental car which was one of my most liked Instagram photos of all time.

After that I went to dinner with my family and then met up with Abella at my homie Carter Cruise’s spot. I didn’t take many photos there but I did take a couple of Abella and a babe named Blair Williams. The best digital shot is one of her texting (seen below) but we did take a couple polaroids and some 35mm shots too.

Yesterday I went to a mini pool party at Bryan Gozzling’s house. I shot a pretty fun set of Lil Brown Eyes in and around the pool. It was a lot of fun, made for some good photos AND she cooked us some delicious food. So yeah, awesome. After the party I ate with my family again and then shot Belle Noire for a second in her hotel room before she had to bounce. The light sucked and we only shot for a minute but there might be a few decent photos in there somewhere.

Today I don’t have much going on but I am going to a Dodgers game for some weird reason and then later I hopefully am gonna shoot another babe or two. Who knows? One more day in LA tomorrow but I am spending it with my family again for Father’s Day. But my road trip starts for real on Monday so there should be a ton of good shit coming!

Home From Vegas

I did a real shitty job updating this, but it’s okay cause I am home already and I have some photos from the Adult Entertainment Expo up already. What are you gonna do? AVN photos will be up tomorrow and then a series of naked photos from my gig working for AVN director of the year Greg Lansky. Plus there’s a Vice article coming soon and everyone will have tons of stuff to look at.

I just wanted to post here as a half ass apology in case anyone is looking at the road trip blog months from now. Plus I figured I can just throw up some AVN images I already posted on Twitter and will post again on the main page tomorrow. Sorry and stuff.

Vegas Part 1

I have been in Vegas for less than two days and I am pretty much dead already. I have been shooting a bunch for Blacked.com & Tushy.com and I spent a lot of time at the Adult Entertainment Expo yesterday for Vice and the Village Voice/LA Weekly. I have also done a couple of shoots just for fun. I haven’t seen natural light since I have been here and I kinda hate flash these days so I honestly hate pretty much every photo I have taken over the last two days. That being said I have shot a TON of 35mm film and I think that stuff could be fucking awesome. But then again it could be terrible, so who knows.

Instead of going into the pit of despair and madness that is this and every Vegas trip, I am just gonna throw some photos at you guys. Enjoy the preview of what is much more to come…

LA Trip Part Two

So things have been slightly more photographically productive since the last update. As I mentioned in the last post I took a few photos of my old friend Roxy the other day but they were kinda drunk party in a hotel pictures. She hit me up the next day to ask if I wanted to take some real photos at her place. I came over and we took some shots before my cat allergies took over and I had to bounce. Still we got some nice shots for someone who doesn’t really model ever.

Yesterday I got to shoot Gabriella Paltrova at her place. We shot for several ours and shot a ton of film and polaroids and I even took some photos of her with an insane samurai sword for some reason. All of it was great. She has instantly become one of my favorite models. She killed it. Here’s a preview.

Now I am headed to Vegas for the AVN Awards. So much crazy shit to come. I have a feeling you guys are gonna be really happy with the upcoming madness.

Oh, did I mention Gabi has a really rad butt?

Home Again, Home Again

Back from SXSW and I got to sleep in a real bed for 8 straight hours and it was amazing. The road trip blog is shutting down again until the next time. I hope to get all my SXSW stuff up on the main blog starting later tonight and going through the weekend. There’s a lot to get up.

In the mean time I wanted to end the blog with a preview of the shoot I did with a girl named Isabel who I met randomly at Hotel Vegas after photographing Thee Oh Sees. She ended up coming to the party I was shooting later that night and hit me up to apologize for her friend who got too drunk and got kicked out. I told her that it wasn’t a big deal and also mentioned that if she every wanted to take photos I was down.

So on my last day in Austin I went to the fucking rodeo, which was insane, and then I got back to my friend Mike’s place at around 11pm and Isabel came over an we took a bunch of photos in the vintage trailer that Mike’s roommate owns. I think they came out pretty well especially for photos of a girl who’s never really modeled and considering it was midnight and we were using just the ambient light of the trailer.

Here’s a nice reasonably safe for work shot, and a few naked ones on my Tumblr.

I am going to do a proper update on the main DBB page with a write up about the AVN Awards and the Adult Entertainment Expo but I just wanted you guys to have the galleries now because it’s taken me way too long to get them up. They are already on the Village Voice though…

More AVN Madness

I have slept about 3 hours a night for the past five days. I haven’t exactly had a ton of time to update this, even quick blasts. I took the day off and tried to get a little sleep and have been editing (and captioning) photos for the past four or five hours. Good times. I want to get all my photos from the Adult Entertainment Expo and the AVN Awards up as soon as possible but I don’t think I am going to be able to do it today. So here are some more previews of upcoming stuff…

My trip got sort of fucked up because my friend Ronen got pick pocketed by a couple and their chihuahua puppy. I spent one night filing reports and then the next day trying to get the phone back. Ronen tracked the phone down to this mildly terrifying project and there were cops arresting someone as we were pulling up. Apparently they were on their way to a domestic disturbance in the complex while someone robbed a convenient store. They told us they couldn’t help because they had five cases in that area to deal with. They told us to call the cops.  We actually saw the people who stole it and Ronen confronted them and after a bunch of back and forth they actually told us to look under some rocks and the phone was there. Slightly damaged but working. Fucking insane.

Aside from that I have been shooting a ton of girls. Unfortunately I didn’t have a lot of location options so I shot pretty much everyone in the parking deck of the hotel or this one lockable bathroom I found. I did shoot Ava Dalush at my hotel so that stuff is really lovely but the rest is mostly just kinda grungy fun stuff in public places. Here are some highlights… more coming soon obviously.

Crash And The End Of My Road Trip

Well that’s it. I got back home yesterday and spent most of the day napping and watching TV. I answered a few emails and got some posts ready for later in the week. Today, I am going to drop off nearly 70 rolls of film and see what the hell I got on this trip. It was pretty awesome shooting 90% of the trip on 35mm, but also a bit terrifying. This trip was one of the most amazing things I have ever done and I can’t wait to show you guys the results.

I enjoyed doing this road trip blog and I plan on bringing it back next time I go out of town for more than a few days. Then again, if I ever get my damn website redesign done I won’t even have a need for a separate blog like this because updating from the road will be so much easier. Whatever the case, it’s been fun.

Now to celebrate the end of my trip I decided to post a gallery of Miss Crash on The Girls of Driven By Boredom App.

The first time I shot Crash was one of my favorite shoots ever and I really wanted her to be part of my road trip project. She ended up my Route 66 trip by going to the end of Route 66 with me and shooting under the boardwalk and on the ferris wheel at the Santa Monica pier. After the shoot I dropped her off at her place and we did a two minute photo shoot right after she signed release forms.

We only shot about 30 pictures and I put about 20 of the best ones on the app. You should check it out, just sign up for a month and cancel if you don’t think it’s worth it. I think you are going to dig it and stick around. If nothing else you get to look at some naked photos of Miss Crash which is totally awesome.

Now check out the main page of Driven By Boredom tomorrow for real updates and full galleries. Until then, I hope you have enjoyed my road trip. I certainly did.
