San Francisco was great. I don't know what happened last time, but I really wasn't feeling it. This time was a vast improvement.
I flew in Friday afternoon and met up with Mariya at Oakland airport. One $75 cab ride later, we arrived at our hotel in North Beach. We checked into our rooms then hit the pavement to kill some time before our meeting with the Zivity crew that evening.
The next day, I got up before dawn, showered, packed up my gear, and hoofed it over to Conan and Mischa's place. We caught a cab over to the studio and spent a few hours setting up lights and testing equipment.
The seminar went well, I think. I was pretty nervous but the feedback was good. Mosh, Mischa, and Mariya were terrific models and the attendees were all really eager to learn. I kept hearing them comment that they'd never before worked with such skilled models. I know how they feel because I am always aware of what a joy it is to shoot a girl who knows what she's doing.
After a twelve-hour day of bootcamp, we went back to the hotel and I shot a couple sets of Mariya. She pooped out and went back to her room, then Mosh and Philip came over and we trailed Mosh around the hotel shooting nudes in the elevators, halls, and stairwell.
The following day, Conan scored an AMAZING location. Mosh and Mischa were joined by the fourth M of the weekend, Micaela. The funny thing was that Micaela and Mariya were both Playboy models! Lucky us!! Our Oakland shoot was supposed to go from 11am-5pm, but no one was ready on time. I got up early again, went to rent a car, loaded up the gear, and still we waited. Luckily, the owner of the space was really really cool and let us start late and shoot later. We were at it til past 8pm.
The rest of the weekend was spent with friends. I couldn't have asked for anything better!
ZIVITY BOOTCAMP
HOTEL
OAKLAND
The photo, above, of Mischa in white latex was shot exclusively for Fetish By Anna. I'll have some shots of Micaela to upload soon, I'm just waiting for some paperwork from her. =)
Today, I shot with Apnea and Kayla Jane over at Perry Gallagher's place. I had told Perry about Kayla and knew he'd love to shoot her. As soon as she arrived, he picked his jaw up off the ground, called Michael Helms to join him, and they tag-teamed her upstairs while I shot Apnea downstairs. I'll have samples later...

I'm off to San Francisco tomorrow for the second time this month. This time, it's work-related, though. Zivity Bootcamp is on Saturday but I'm getting in a day early to settle in and meet everyone. I already know some of the Zivity team, one of the models (Mosh) and both the photographers (AddictedImage and Lithium Picnic). It's gonna be great!
I'm looking forward to the actual bootcamp as well. I'm teaching the portion on studio lighting. I hope I don't let anyone down. =)

So, it appears that a bunch of NYC dungeons are getting raided/busted. My question is... Once they close all the places down, what are the judges and lawyers gonna do? Get outcall?

I don't post much on my blog about politics and religion, because I like to keep things light and entertaining, etc. However, I'm really afraid for the future. This presidential election has seriously got me worried. And, I'm not the only one...
Matt Damon makes a very good point, don't you think? What if Palin was president? That is not a pleasant prospect. In addition to her lack of experience and lying about earmarks and the "Bridge to Nowhere", there's:
1) Banning books?!!!!?
2) She supports teaching creationism in schools (there's your dinosaur answer, Matt...)
3) She's anti-choice and, yeah... If some stranger violently rapes you and you become pregnant, GUESS WHAT? You're gonna carry that rape baby to term! Lucky you!!!
4) She believes in abstinence-only programs and doesn't want birth control taught.
5) etc, etc...
DEAR GOOD PEOPLE WHO ENJOY EROTIC ART, FETISH PHOTOGRAPHY, AND PORNO IN GENERAL... A VOTE FOR REPUBLICANS IS A VOTE AGAINST THE FREEDOM TO ENJOY THESE VERY THINGS! The disastrous Bush presidency not only made me embarrased to be an American, not only ruined America in the eyes of the world, not only destroyed our economy, but also enacted the ridiculous 2257 laws in an attempt to run down the industry of pornography. Whether or not you watch porn, it's awfully nice to know you have the freedom to do it if you so choose.
So, how about a country whose leaders don't base policy on fairy tales? How about not voting for a candidate who chose a poor running mate just so he could get the Hilary votes? How about personal freedoms? I like 'em. Don't you?

One of my photographs of Stoya appears in the April 2008 issue of Club International Magazine. I know this is super late, but I just got the issue in the mail today. Better late than never. =)

Kink's over. We're waiting for Bob. Gluefest #2 (must finish the projects!!). And, for stimulation purposes, we're watching Zoolander (for the 4 millionth time). Could Mila be any hotter than when she licks the blood from her lips?

So, I finally got around to making a Flickr Stream. Here's a slideshow of the images (most of which can also be found on this blog if you do some digging), or you can go to my Flickr Photostream by clicking here.

My trip to SF served several purposes.
1) I was up there to see a concert.
2) I got to hang out with Miss Conduct... It's been too long.
3) I spent time with my pals Henry Lewis and Paul King.
4) I got to meet the Zivity crew face-to-face.
5) Seth, Christian and I got tattooed to commemorate 20 years of friendship.
Seth moved to SF a few months ago and Christian was visiting from Germany, so it worked out perfectly. We had my old friend, Barnaby, inflict the pain. The best thing I can say about that is that since both are now done, I'll never have to get my ditch tattooed again. It blows.
Christian brought me a very thoughtful gift that he got out of a vending machine in Germany. It was the mascot for my drive back to LA. LOL
Nothing says "road trip" like a little rubber penis squeak-toy bobbing around on the dashboard.

The other night, Bob was out of town and I was left to my own devices. I invited Kink over for a latex gluing lesson, and we were joined by Evan and Crystal. The evening lasted forever, was very informative, and gave me new appreciation for how much work goes into making latex garments. It's frustrating and time-consuming, and messy.
We started out with some repairs I needed done, and they were good for learning basic gluing and prep. Then, I had this "great idea". It went something like... "HEY KINK, I HAVE THIS DESIGN I WANT TO MAKE AND IT OUGHT TO BE REALLY SIMPLE!!" Boy, was I ever wrong. I worked on it that night (you can see my paper pattern in the photos below), and the next two days, and had to put it aside since I was leaving town. Now I'm back and I'm hoping I can finish it up at some point.
Someone needs to invent a glue that dries faster. All that waiting is for the birds!
What really made it all bearable was the awesome apron Kink let me wear. =)
