Peter Gorman - Stripped Naked

Peter Gorman's book Stripped Naked is worth picking up. I like the format and the models he chooses to work with- NYC girls. In this book, Peter shoots the models in their homes.

The Ringer - Johnny Knoxville

Barbara & I saw the new Johnny Knoxville movie The Ringer. Some good laughs and I think it's great they cast disabled people for the cast- they did a good job. More of a cable movie, though. This photo is from when I met Johnny Knoxville in Vegas, when the Jackass series was on MTV.

Fox Magazine - Feature

The January 2006 issue of Fox Magazine features an article on me and all three of my books. Included are photos of: Aria Giovanni, Jana Cova, The Porcelain Twinz and Katja Kassin.

Ryan Adams - 29

I picked up the new Ryan Adams album 29. Everything this guy does is worth getting, but I don't like it as much as Jacksonville City Nights. There are a few great songs, but as a whole it's gonna take some getting use to.

Pope Benedict XVI - The Cover up

There was an article in USA Today, that reports how Pope Benedict XVI was dismissed from a civil lawsuit (Texas Judge - go figure) where three boys were molested by, Juan Carlos Patino-Arango. The reason Joseph Ratzinger, or as they call him now, Pope Benedict XVI's name was mentioned is because he was accused of conspiring with the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston and some of its officials to cover up the sexual abuse of three boys.

from USA Today: "The letter, written when Ratzinger was prefect of the Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith, explains that "grave" crimes such as the sexual abuse of minors would be handled by his congregation and that the proceedings of special church tribunals handling the cases were subject to "pontifical secret."

Now they are giving him immunity because of his religious position. the Pope's lawyer said, "the pope is entitled to immunity like any foreign sovereign without any special limitations imposed upon his immunity just because he is a religious leader."

This is scary and just shows you how the religious powers get away with some of the most deviant crimes. I don't care if he is the Pope. He's a fucking criminal.

Haley Paige & Barry Scott - Leg World

The March 2006 issue of Leg World came out and it features a layout I shot of Haley Paige & Barry Scott.

Amber Peach - Panty Play

The January 2006 issue of Panty Play came out and it features a layout I shot of Amber Peach.

Tiny Fine Art - Art@Large

I have a few photos for sale at Tiny Fine Art. The good people from Art@Large in NYC put this site together.

Joanna Angel - Taboo

The January 2006 issue of Taboo came out and it features a layout I shot of Burning Angel Vixen, Joanna Angel.

Justine Joli & Mary Jane - Smokin'

I shot Justine Joli & Mary Jane enjoying their favorite pastime(s). Dynomite supplied the pipes for this shoot.

Shooter Jennings - Put the O Back in Country

I've been listening to the Shooter Jennings album Put the O Back in Country. There's a great phone message from Hank Williams Jr, that's worth the price of the album. Trust me. Shooter's the son of Walon Jennings and plays him in the Johnny Cash movie, Walk The Line.

Mammoth Book Release Party

The The Mammoth Book of Illustrated Erotic Women release party was last Saturday and it was a fun night. The book has been getting a good response and I've seen it around town at local book stores. This photo is of Me & Ivana Ford. She's pointing to her name on the badge I was wearing.

Fuct - Maria

I shot a photo for FUCT a couple weeks ago. Erik, the owner just put this ad together.

Crush Show

Both shows this weekend were lots of fun and I'm exhausted. The Exhibit at Crush will be up for at least a month, so try and stop by. Dave Leamon's painting fill one side of the store and my photos the other.
Crush Store 7555 Melrose Ave. Los Angeles
This is a photo from the party on Friday. See, look at the cool stuff that goes on at these shows.

Germs - At the Key Club

I saw the Germs reunion last Saturday at the Key Club. The band sounded great , but I wish the singer didn't play the role of the drunken, live, Darby. It sounded like his voice was good and he could have pulled off the studio Darby Crash. I saw lots of friends I haven't seen in years and it was a fun night.

It was no surprise to see Nicole win America's Next Top Model. She's a natural beauty.

Johnny Cash - Walk The Line

I saw Walk the Line last week and it lived up to the hype. Joaquin Phoenix & Reese Witherspoon were great as Johnny Cash & June Carter Cash. I was worried when I heard they were making this movie, but thankfully, they did it right.

Sarah Silverman was great on Leno tonight. I love that she called Scientology, "Gay". Too funny.

Ginger Taylor

I shot new comer, Ginger Taylor on Thurs. We didn't shoot any bondage photos, but it turns out Ginger is very into bondage and the films of Andrew Blake. Maybe next time?

Legs - Book Cover Controversy - Belladonna - Ryan Adams

I'm listed on a website called Model Mayhem. They have listings for Models, Photographers & Make up Artists. Kind of like My Space, but photo specific. Anyway, I was using my Legs book cover as my profile photo and they removed it to the 18+ section- This is the same cover that got my profile kicked off of My Space. Anyway, I got upset and mentioned it in their Forum. Check it out and feel free to chime in. Some of the response is pretty amusing.

Ryan Adams was amazing on David Letterman tonight- I think it was a repeat. He played an old song off Heartbreaker (I think it's in some new movie). I can't stomach watching David Letterman so I TIVO'd it.

Syriana

I saw Syriana the other night and it was frightening how true to life this movie is. It's like Fahrenheit 911 part 2. The movie shows the connection between U.S. Oil Companies, The CIA and The Persian Gulf. I think the guy that wrote it is pretty up on current events.

Sarah Blake & Paris - Tight

The January 2006 issue of Tight came out and it Features Layouts I shot of Sarah Blake & Paris.

The Other Hollywood - The Oral History of Porn

The Other Hollywood - The Uncensored Oral History of the Porn Film Industry is the porn version of Please Kill Me. This book goes through the history of porn and features interviews with: Linda Lovelace, Marilyn Chambers (on the cover), John Waters, Vanessa Del Rio, Annie Sprinkle and more people than I can mention. It covers: The Traci Lords scandal, John Holmes, Shauna Grant's suicide and tons of other bits of porn history. This is a great book.

Barbara Ann Crumm - Eros Zine Interview

Barbara Ann Crumm has an interview on Eros-Zine. Check it out.
