Five Days of Gatewood, Day Four: going down. (NSFW)

June 28, 2012

YeahOKSo…there it is. I haven’t much experience with doing sex only because you’re gonna be photographing it, so I might have been nervous except I wasn’t all that nervous. I was glad I thought to bring condoms, but unfortunately, these were lubricated. Upside? the lube wasn’t of a particularly janky flavor. I did wonder if I’d look…

Five Days of Gatewood, Day 3: Clean shave. (NSFW)

June 27, 2012

I did as thorough I job as I could with the shaving. The inexpensive disposable razors are not optimal for getting too close without mircocuts but no serious exsanguination occurred. I took care to keep everything clean…shaving foam helped.   By the time I was done shaving, that moment of “UM, OK, so next is supposed to…

Five Days of Gatewood, Day 2: Shaving. (NSFW)

June 26, 2012 |

“What I really like is being shaved…” I assumed he didn’t mean he enjoyed help with his chin stubble. I haven’t done an interactive photo shoot, and I haven’t done anything that was exceedingly explicit. But hey, what the fuck. I was 9 days away from 43 years old and adding another skeleton to my jammed-like-Mecca-during-Hajj closet…

Five days of Gatewood: Day 1: Oracle.

June 25, 2012 |

I did a shoot with legendary photographer Charles Gatewood a couple of weeks ago. When we were discussing what he was working on, one of the projects on his table involved more explicit stuff than I’ve done before. And I thought about it quite thoroughly. I wondered how I would feel about having photos of…

I am an effing ROCKSTAR!!

May 29, 2009 |

Oh my god! OK, so a couple of months ago I was chatting on Twitter with some guy I didn’t know, who said he was a photographer. I checked out his site and was blown away by his talent, and made some offhand comment about wanting to model for him. Fast forward to NOW and…

Fat and Happy.

May 12, 2009 |

Substantia Jones, photographer and curator of the Adiposivity Project pinged me a while back and we got to chatting about doing a shoot. The stars aligned and we were able to meet and take some pictures. And then the atmosphere itself aligned for a moment of effulgency heretofore unknown to me in terms of moments…

Taking my picture.

April 10, 2009 |

Despite the fact that I’ve been in front of the camera professionally since the age of 5, I am always apprehensive about photography. I fear I’ll look goofy, or that the person taking the picture will somehow look at me in a way that doesn’t capture the “real me” or worse yet, that the “real…

Captured at Folsom.

November 9, 2008 |

The Folsom Street fair rules. I have attended annually since 1997. This year, I stopped at the midpoint of the fair by a large gray cube constructed of draped fabric. I was bemused by the fact it was covered with poster-sized portraits of people in Fetish garb and assorted drag. I was gestured over by…
