I've been doing my darndest to edit furiously. So many shoots all at once = huge backlog and models waiting for photos. Yesterday, I got up bright and early and promptly glued myself to my desk chair, settling in for hours.
On the agenda were two sets of Ryan Keely and one of Angela Ryan and Athena Fatale. While I edit I either listen to audio books, NPR archives, or I "watch" old TV shows on Hulu. (I have two monitors hooked up and I'll have a small window playing video on my right monitor while I work on photos on the left. It's more "listening" to the shows than watching, but it keeps me entertained.) I'm able to engage one side of my brain with the shows or books while the other side busies itself with the editing. If I'm writing or doing web design, the shows are too distracting.
Anyways... I have gone through entire seasons of shows on Hulu since I sit here for hours at a time and, though I appreciate the free entertainment, there's something that just drives me berserk. The website is driven by advertising, which I totally understand and have no complaints about. Where a show would usually have a string of commercials if it played on TV, it only has one commercial on Hulu. Which, in theory, is awesome. HOWEVER!!! When I say that Hulu has one commercial, I mean ONE commercial. In the past two days, I have seen the same exact JC Penney commercial at nearly 100 times. Seriously. The same one. And it even has a terrible song. It's always that way. The one commercial will change. Sometimes there are two commercials that switch off from show to show, but for the duration of the episode, at least, it's the same commercial. It got so painful that I was moved to write them a complaint letter pointing out that, thanks to them, the LAST place I want to shop now is JC Penney.
Sorry. I digress....
;)
Let me just say that while I was editing this photo, all my complaints about Hulu's annoying lack of varied advertising melted away (but came right back with the next commercial break).
What have we learned? Well, that Ryan's got junk in her trunk and it has healing properties. =)

Finally feeling better, just in time to start cooking for tomorrow. I hope you all have a wonderful holiday, spent with friends. I'll be frying turkey as I have every year of this millennium. Once you try it, you'll never go back to dreary, dried up baked birds.
;)
Aradia's in town and will be joining us. There's another model who I'm trying to lure as well. We'll see if she can put the agoraphobia aside. =)
Happy gobble gobble!
xoxo

New video up today! Apnea stars in "Maid to Hobble". I'm actually very proud of this video. Apnea is such a wonderful person to work with, her beauty and brains and general awesomeness are really inspiring. Take her amazing hotness, a sexy latex hood by Latex Nemesis, my tight black corset, a sheer black nylon hobble skirt, and 6" heels, throw me and Apnea at them, and what you get is a crazy, sexy, edgy music-video type thing that I can happily watch over and over.
It's 640x480 and for members only!!

I complain about not getting comments.
I will again soon, I'm sure.
So, every once in a while, I go onto Deviant Art and I say to myself, "You should go post comments on other people's work! Share the love!"
And then I go through the fetish section. And my resolve diminishes. And I'm struck by how much wretched crap is posted there. And that most of what I like is submitted by people I already know. And that I am so bound by "If you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all". And why do some people post EVERY SINGLE FUCKING PHOTO FROM A PHOTO SHOOT? And, why are 90% of the images in the "fetish photography" category even posted there? What makes them "fetish"? And (I know we all have to start somewhere but) why the white sheet as backdrop? At least iron it so the fold lines don't show. And don't even get me started on black trash bags as backdrops.
Hey... I know I'm not the be-all-end-all of photographers. And we all come from humble beginnings. I feel that I continue to grow with each shoot and today's work surpasses last year's and so on. But come on!!
A person will post a photo that is god-awful and say "please comment"!! They can't be serious. I would feel like a total douche if I even commented what I was actually thinking. And then I see that sometimes other people have commented things like "Great shot!!!" And I don't get it. Even if I were to give a genuine critique about lighting, posing, cropping or whatever... I would feel bad for saying something negative and bad again because, who the hell am I to critique someone's work?
<sigh>
Can you tell I was going through DA just now? LOL

Yesterday started out well. Though the construction next door woke me after only 4 hours of sleep, I got up, got dressed, and got to work. Bright and early. Hunter called and wanted to get lunch and discuss our Thanksgiving menu, so we arranged for him to come pick me up in an hour. He did and we headed to HMS Bounty, a dive bar with great fish and chips. I was excited to try it out because he'd heard great things about it.
We drove the four miles and, as we neared, I started to feel a little bit queasy. I didn't worry too much about it so we settle into a booth and ordered. A few minutes passed and I started to feel worse... And worse. I only took a few bites of my meal (it was great and I'll definitely be back!) but that was all I could manage.
Back home, in bed, and there I stayed til this morning.
The worst part is that I called in a big favor a couple months ago and scored near front row center seats to Seinfeld at Caesar's Palace for my boyfriend's bday. Those tickets set me back nearly $400 that I can hardly justify spending in this economy, but nothing's too good for my man. And, you guessed it, the show is tonight. I canceled our room and called one of his friends to accompany him while I stay at home and mope.
On a brighter note, I do love some things about the iPhone. One of the reasons I switched over was because of the camera. My old Treo sucked hairy balls and delivered the most unsaturated, hideous photos, but not so the iPhone. And there are all kinds of really cool applications you can get to enhance the experience. One of the ones I like is called "Camera Bag". I've been playing around with it for a few months and thought I'd upload a couple shots from yesterday.
The Bounty is located in the Gaylord Building on Wilshire and, cue grade-school chuckles, I liked the look of the sign against the bright blue sky.
First shot is right off the phone. The second one uses the "Cinema" filter. And the last used the "1962" filter. Pretty sweet and fiddling with them kept me occupied on the drive back home.
I made some matzoh ball soup from scratch, have watched everything I had saved on Tivo, and now I'm going to return to bed with my dog, Belly, and watch more Forensic Files episodes than I would ordinarily see in a month.
Weeeeee!

Award notification took forever, was delayed time and again. I didn't even know they'd finally announced them until I got a new email asking me to submit again.
Anyways... My photo was a "nominee". Whatever that means. =)

No, not really. Not REAL gay bashing. But what is hysterical is making a mockery of the photos guys post of themselves on hookup sites. I suppose it'd be too easy, too cruel, to poke fun at their appearance or penis size. That'd be too pedestrian. The true hilarity lies in discussing their homes. Seriously.
I've got two sites for you. The first is JustinSpace.com. I know Justin. He's tall. Witty. Obsessed with Swatch watches and Disney. His original concept, Obscene Interiors, was a joy when it first went online years ago, and is just as funny now. I only wish he still updated it. He even published a book of the same name and you can still buy it to delight your friends. In his version, he took actual photos from gay hookup sites, grayed out the guy in the photo, then rips apart the decor leaving you laughing and wiping your eyes.
My friend, Quinn, sent me a link to a similar newish site called Lurid Digs. Same general concept, but we're forced to see the guy too. Warning for those of you who may be squeamish... There are VERY nude, rude, lewd photos of lots of guys (old, young, hot, fugly) in various states of undress, with and without erections... You get the idea. In fact, first one to assault you today is an <ahem> older gentleman with the hairiest balls I've ever seen, dangling below an enormous hog of a cock.
If you take the time to go through the two sites, and it's so worth it, what will strike you is how many of these guys are surrounded by stuffed animals. WTF? Do adults really have stuffed animals in their bedrooms?
This, my friends, is what makes the internet great.
