Zombies Are Our Friends

A while back I shot some of my street stuff with a really cool woman that is also a film maker. Her and some of her cohorts stopped by last night so we could do some promo pics for the project they are working on. The project is called Zombies Are Our Friends which looks to be very funny and scary and sexy and great...
The make up work was done quickly and beautifully by Julie Langer whom I would recommend for your F/X Make-Up Artist needs...
Here are a few images shot...

Sex Blogger Calendar, Streets Of Harlem, And Abiola

"The 2010 NYC Sex Blogger Calendar is unique in bringing together several of NYC's writers, filmmakers and sex educators with twelve outstanding photographers and incorporating the participation of the larger sex-positive commUNITY to our efforts to support Sex Work Awareness. Last year's calendar made the Speak Up! media training for sex workers possible and with our commUNITY's continued support, who knows what we can accomplish this year!" SexBloggerCalendar.com

I was very proud to be chosen this year to take part in this project and really hope that many of you will support it. I won't waste your time rehashing what is on the site. Check it out!

For my shots I took to the streets of Harlem NYC with the lovely Abiola of Planet Abiola and we gallivanted around the streets creating some very fine images if I do say so...
In the end the hardest decisions were deciding which image to pick - for that you will have to get the calendar...
Here are a few of the outtakes

Teaching

Shibari can be one of the most confusing arts in the world of BDSM for those that have not had any real experience with it. Even for the casual practitioner who has attempted to learn out of a book it sometimes can really be difficult to pull together the different aspects into a cohesive and clean style. JC will show the class slowly and concisely how to combine the most basic of Japanese bondage techniques together to create a piece of rope work that will be the base of much of your rigging. In easy steps you will learn first how to create a very basic harness as well as some hints on how to make it take on your own style in the future. The chest harness is the basis for much of what is seen as Shibari from hogites to suspension play. The elements you learn during this class will send you on your way toward safe bondage play that can be enjoyed by everyone.

4th of July

Another holiday that seems to have had it's meaning lost...
Between Memorial Day and Independence Day I'm not sure which gets a worse deal...two holidays designed to honor people that created the USA are now nothing more than excuses to get drunk and eat bar b q'd meat...(nothing against those things) Even if you are able to admit that we do some shitty stuff as a country, even if you admit that things aren't perfect - you still need to admit that there is no place else like it. It deserves a birthday party...a party that all Americans can take part in...I'm not saying that hospitals or police should be closed but is there any reason for the people making 8/hr at the Quickie Market to be open...do you really need to shop at Macy's? Can't figure out what you needed the rest of the week?
Enough with my complaining - just that in most "industrialized countries" when they have a national holiday everyone is off...
Have a great day - kick ass and say happy birthday to the US

Capt. Stu's House

I was lucky enough to be invited out to Capt. Stu's place (brought along by the man myth and legend LC of Misfit Studios ) It was a great experience with talented people everywhere - so many that I didn't get to work with all of them. I am trying to rectify that in the near future.
In any event I was lucky enough to shoot with three great models - the super sultry Cry Kitten, the ridiculously tough pixie known as Laura UnBound, and last but not least (though in this group least would be better than most places) Mysha Kitten. There were some amazing shots to be had and the vibe was more party (kinky crazy party but still a party) than work and i hope it shows in the images. I proudly captured the popping of Mysha's rope cherry and I can only hope she likes the images as much as I do...
